  assignment are also aware of this. They design and organize conditioning programs that expedite the new
  Soldiers’ acclimatization to the unit and movement into sustaining phase training. These programs may last
  from a few days to several weeks.
  SUSTAINING PHASE
  2-13. Sustaining phase H2F training builds upon the foundation established in initial phase. The sustaining
  phase creates mastery of the physical and mental attributes of occupational and combat tasks. Developing
  individualized programs for Soldiers will be the norm in sustaining phase. This is possible in sustaining phase
  because each unit or installation will have the requisite H2F System. For National Guard and remotely located
  Soldiers, regional H2F performance team members within each state (available as consultants to individuals
  and units) develop and implement H2F training. Equipment and facility support will be through unit facilities
  and other training venues.
  WARRANT OFFICER CANDIDATE SCHOOL
  2-14. H2F training and testing in Warrant Officer Candidate School employs sustaining phase programming
  that prepares warrant officer candidates for their FUAs.
  WARRANT OFFICER BASIC COURSE
  2-15. The Warrant Officer Basic Course will continue requirements established in Warrant Officer Candidate
  School for the various durations of Warrant Officer Basic Course. These may include and are not limited to
  physical and nonphysical training domains.
  BASIC OFFICER LEADER COURSES
  2-16. Cadets and officer candidates report to an accessions basic officer leader course with various levels of
  physical and nonphysical readiness. They will have passed the OPAT. The first weeks of training focus on
  progressive training of the whole body. Similar to BCT, cadets and officer candidates in an accessions basic
  officer leader course perform initial phase training. They learn fundamental physical skills as well as the drill
  and ceremony that they will use to lead Soldiers. Officers in a branch basic officer level course transition to
  sustaining phase activities once they have passed the ACFT.
  2-17. To minimize the risk of injury and overtraining, the intensity and volume of training progresses
  gradually. Commanders, cadre, and H2F performance teams should evaluate each new cadet or officer
  candidate who falls below an accessions basic officer leader course standards and should give special
  assistance to improve performance. More training is not necessarily better. The quality and quantity of
  training should be assessed with an understanding that some cadets and officer candidates may require
  additional time to make the improvements required to meet Army standards.
  ACTIVE COMPONENT
  2-18. The goal of H2F is to improve each Soldier’s physical and nonphysical readiness to survive and win
  in any operational environment. The H2F System enables the Army to provide campaign-capable,
  expeditionary forces. Commanders are responsible for the training, performance and readiness of their
  Soldiers, and use the training management cycle and resources to meet H2F objectives. See ADP 7-0 for
  training.
  2-19. The Army’s unit training plan discussed in ADP 7-0 provides the framework for commanders to
  achieve proficiency in their units’ mission-essential task lists (METLs). The unit METL drives training. Key
  to the success of this process is the inclusion of bottom-up feedback. This approach applies mission command
  to the training process. Mission command is the Army’s approach to command and control that empower
  subordinate decision making and decentralizes execution. With this approach, senior leaders provide training
  focus, direction, and resources. Subordinate leaders develop training objectives and training requirements
  specific to the unit and provide feedback on training proficiency.
