  Table 7-4. Running drills
  Type Description
  Running Drill 1: Foot Strike These exercises enhance perception of the forces generated when the
  foot hits the ground.
  Running Drill 2: Strength Develops the specific strength needed to prepare the body properly to
  run or sustain running.
  Running Drill 3: Pose Every runner goes through the Pose position on every step. The Pose
  precedes a fall that is necessary to initiate forward motion.
  Running Drill 4: Fall As the runner falls, gravity accelerates the runner forward from the
  Pose position.
  Running Drill 5: Pull In order to increase efficiency and reduce impact force, the foot is
  quickly pulled from the ground and back into the Pose position.
  Running Drill 6: Combinations This drill challenges the runner’s ability to incorporate lessons of the
  previous running drills into a smooth, sustained run.
  Running Drill 7: Corrections After feedback from MFTs or H2F performance team, Correction Drills
  are used to improve proper form.

  ARMY WATER SURVIVAL TRAINING
  7-25. H2F physical readiness training builds skills that help Soldiers survive in water. Water survival skills
  are critical Soldier combat tasks. Commanders can incorporate these skills into physical training schedules,
  or treated as special training events and programmed accordingly. The inclusion of pool or aquatics training
  in special conditioning requires that commanders know whether their Soldiers can swim and have completed
  drown-proofing. Paragraphs 7-26 through 7-47 discuss Army Water Survival Training (AWST). See
  ATP 7-22.01 for more details.
  7-26. Soldiers who successfully complete AWST identifies possess the requisite swimming skills to
  complete more advanced waterborne training and testing. When AWST is conducted to standard, Soldier
  safety is ensured while performance is enhanced. AWST builds Soldier confidence prior to special
  conditioning pool workouts and increases survivability in operations in and around water.
  7-27. Two levels of classification in the AWST program inform the commander the water survivability levels
  of his or her Soldiers: basic survival swimmer (known as BSS) and combat survival swimmer (known as
  CSS). All Soldiers complete combat survival swimmer annually. Qualification at the combat survival
  swimmer level is necessary only for units that anticipate extensive operations in and around water. These
  units conduct operations over the shore, maritime transportation, and the Army diver program.
  7-28. The Combat Water Survival Test (CWST) accurately records a Soldier’s ability to safely function in a
  water environment. The CWST certifies Soldiers who intend to lead AWST and for other trainers in the H2F
  System. AWST trainers must be certified annually in the CWST. Soldiers who wish to maintain the validation
  must re-certify on the CWST every two years.
  SAFETY
  7-29. Safety is the first concern when training Soldiers in and around water. Unit standard operating
  procedures for swim instruction, aquatic rehabilitation, and water survival training must be developed to
  ensure safe and effective training. SOPs describe the training area, uniform, personal equipment, formation,
  leadership, commands, and safety. Leaders use, review, and rehearse written safety and emergency action
  plans prior to conducting training. AWST trainers and assistant instructors perform risk management
  following installation policy and DA Pam 385-30. Qualified lifeguards attend and have standard sets of pool
  safety and rescue equipment on hand at all times. A standard set of equipment consists of—
  * Shepherd’s crook and reaching poles.
  * Heaving line.
  * Ring buoy with rope.
