text: Principles and Elements
  strategies for all Soldiers in garrison and deployed settings. Sleep and nutrition are critical in the performance
  of physical and mental tasks. Special programs are included for water survival training, running skills, free
  weight training, and pregnancy and postpartum training. Mental readiness is addressed through training on
  cognitive, emotional, and interpersonal skills. Spiritual readiness addresses the development of qualities
  derived from a person’s worldview—religious, philosophical, or human values—needed to endure times of
  stress, hardship, and tragedy.
  1-24. The H2F System uses deliberate and purposeful training to build Soldier performance. Deliberate
  training uses proven methods and standards. Purposeful training uses the proper training volume, intensity,
  and frequency while targeting goals based on Soldier-specific tasks. Soldier training is never static. Soldiers
  benefit from positively revising their training approach and finding the best strategy to improve performance.
  The H2F System will provide a strength and conditioning specialist to ensure Soldiers conduct purposeful
  training sessions in support of rational longer-term goals. This adherence to a professionally-designed and
  supervised training program will facilitate compliance and rapid progress during the initial phase of training,
  and more incremental gains in the sustaining phase. The sustaining phase is the vast majority of the Soldier’s
  career span.
  1-25. Because of H2F, Soldiers tend to make better readiness choices when training and garrison life reflect
  an environment that makes proper behavior and decision making the most likely choice. The program is
  immersive; it does not depend upon appointments away from the unit or online, nor on self-management
  training systems. It does not pull Soldiers away from their work environment nor push them to complete
  training elsewhere. The architecture in the unit—both the fixed facility architecture and the framework of
  training concepts—supports choices that support H2F goals. It is a face-to-face daily program of instruction
  conducted by the primary H2F personnel. Individual weaknesses are addressed in real time by a professional
  team of unit-owned personnel in a unit-owned facility. Unit leaders, who also have their own individual H2F
  programs, understand the tenets of the system and are accountable for their unit’s results.
  1-26. The doctrine includes training templates to cover a variety of conditions and constraints. This doctrine
  recognizes that Soldiers and units in remote locations may not have the full complement of H2F trainers,
  facilities, and equipment. Templates provide examples to speed execution of and compliance with the H2F
  approach anywhere in the world. They provide a foundation to address the programming needs of the unit.
  See Part Four beginning on page 13-1 for templates for training programs such as initial entry training, first
  unit of assignment (FUA), and pre-deployment periods.
  1-27. Basic combat training templates incorporate progressive resistance and strength training for the Army
  Combat Fitness Test (ACFT). Seven-day schedules include active recovery, strength, endurance and speed
  training sessions conducted in the Army physical fitness uniform (known as APFU) and Army combat
  uniform (ACU). In the 10-week block of basic combat training, the ability to complete several different
  periods of training is limited and maximal performance potential will have to be realized in the sustaining
  phase.
  PERSONNEL
  1-28. Personnel in the H2F System are located in units across the Army—all Components, all geographic
  regions.
  1-29. The H2F School is a future capability that will optimize existing competencies within the U.S. Army
  Physical Fitness School with emergent H2F capabilities to become the Army’s premier teaching facility for
  performance readiness. The H2F School will be staffed with Regular Army and Army civilian instructors
  who are qualified to train and certify unit-level H2F personnel in Army-specific requirements. For
  professionally-credentialed personnel, H2F instructors will conduct resident courses as well as installation-
  based courses across the Army via mobile training teams. Sister schools in the One Army School System
  (known as OASS) will provide trained H2F personnel to National Guard and Reserve Soldiers. At a
  minimum, graduates from the H2F School will receive the H2F additional skill identifier (known as ASI).
  As the H2F System matures and the skills needed for H2F trainers expand, noncommissioned officers
  (NCOs) will be selected for MOS training at the H2F School.
