H2F is a capabilities-based, task and environment focused, Human Performance Optimization (HPO) program. HQDA EXORD 149-19 directs the Total Army to implement the H2F System. For the Active Component (AC), H2F provides Soldiers direct access to specialized medical and mental health care providers, athletic trainers, and strength coaches at the brigade level. The ARNG model will not mirror the AC model, while still accomplishing the desired end state of improving physical fitness, injury avoidance and recovery, nutritional health, and mental/spiritual resilience.

The ARNG achieves H2F Systems goals of improving Soldier readiness and lethality, optimizing physical/non-physical performance, reducing injury rates, improving rehabilitation after injury, and increasing overall effectiveness through a Directorate enabled and State/Territory led approach which accounts for ARNG unique requirements, opportunities, constraints. The ARNG will accomplish this through a blend of material solutions, subject matter expertise, federal and state resources, and health care professionals.

NATO 2030: NATO’s military strength is more important than ever (master)

--SYNOPSIS--

In December 2019, NATO Leaders invited Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg to lead a forward-looking reflection process to strengthen NATO's political dimension. The NATO 2030 initiative is bringing together Allied parliamentarians, civil society, public and private sector experts, and young leaders to provide fresh thinking on how to make NATO an even stronger Alliance. The Secretary General will put forward his proposals to NATO Leaders when they meet in Brussels later this year. NATO 2030 is about making sure our Alliance remains ready to face the challenges of the next decade. To keep our nations safe, NATO will continue to adapt. We need to stay a strong military Alliance, become a stronger political Alliance and take a more global approach. This animation is one of three videos highlighting these three themes.

--TRANSCRIPT--

NATO’s military strength is more important than ever VOICEOVER: The world has changed dramatically since NATO was founded more than 70 years ago, and the pace of change continues to accelerate. We see huge advances in technology, including quantum computing and artificial intelligence, which will change our lives and affect our security. We also see an assertive Russia, cyber and missile threats, and brutal terrorist groups such as ISIS. To keep our almost one billion people safe, NATO must remain a strong military Alliance. So we must continue to invest in the right forces with the right equipment. And to keep our technological edge in a competitive world. To have strong militaries, we also need strong societies. That is why we must boost our resilience. This means robust infrastructure, such as ports and airports, telecommunications, including 5G, and diverse supply lines for fuel, food and medical equipment. In an unpredictable world, our strong militaries protect our democracies, our freedom and our prosperity. Our unwavering commitment that an attack against one of us is an attack against all of us, is a shield that keeps our societies safe and secure. NATO 2030: Securing an uncertain future

The ARNG will approach H2F as a three phased operation, including defining requirements, experimentation, and implementation. The ARNG H2F implementation strategy is not a universal “one size fits all” approach, States and Territories are afforded the flexibility to experiment through the planning process. FY21 is a planning year for States/Territories to establish those requirements; ARNG requirements will be determined through collaborative, scientific, evidence based research and experimentation. States/Territories conduct market research, small scale pilots, and analysis IOT determine their specific requirements for H2F implementation. Concurrently, ARNG G3 Training Division (TR) will institute a multi-functional working group of industry experts, collegiate human performance centers, and Army professionals to enable collaboration and requirements development. This targeted and individualized approach ensures the collective ARNG requirement possesses relevance, scalability, ease of implementation, effectiveness, and efficiency across the force. The ARNG will report the requirement findings to the Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA) NLT 30 SEP 2021.
