  1-11. The H2F System aligns and integrates numerous health and fitness programs in the Army under a
  single governance structure. The governance process ensures efficient and effective H2F programming,
  provides the necessary emphasis and support to secure resources, and prioritizes effort based on strategic
  objectives. All performance optimization efforts coalesce under the single governance of the H2F System to
  integrate evidence-based approaches for optimized performance readiness.

  1-12. When properly designed, governed, and adopted, the H2F System creates a performance readiness
  platform that prevents physical and nonphysical stress from overwhelming the Soldier. The most important
  component of the governance process is compliance. Leaders at all levels must comply with policy,
  regulation, doctrine, and intent of H2F to enable Soldiers to reach the goal of H2F: optimized performance.
  1-13. Volatility in programming, disparate approaches, and deviations from the standard become evident in
  units very early in training cycles. In the H2F System, high performing units are encouraged to share their
  best practices. The Army’s H2F leadership, Centers of Excellence, and H2F schoolhouse will disseminate
  the training doctrine across the enterprise and professional military education. This approach will reduce the
  unpredictability in readiness training that Soldiers currently experience as they move among units and across
  operational environments.
  1-14. The ability to provide oversight and support, collect and disseminate best practices, develop funding
  requests, and conduct assessments depends upon the H2F personnel in the unit and their unit leadership.
  However, without command authority, no accountability exists to assess and reset H2F initiatives,
  effectiveness, or redundancy. This Army’s H2F special staff provides strategic leadership and future direction
  for H2F doctrine, policy, personnel training, and development.
  1-15. The United States Army Center for Initial Military Training (USACIMT) is the Army lead for Holistic
  Health and Fitness. USACIMT’s H2F Directorate is responsible for doctrine and training development. The
