text: Introduction
  Using this doctrine, Soldiers will sustain high levels of foundational performance for extended periods. They
  will know how to quickly develop peak physical performance along with the mental toughness required of
  operational assignments. They will be ready to deliver collective overmatch in multi-domain operations, win
  quickly, and return home healthy.
  The H2F doctrine is divided into four parts: system, design, build, and deliver.
  PART ONE: SYSTEM
  The H2F System has five critical elements: governance, program, equipment and facilities, personnel, and
  leadership education. These elements are distilled from careful doctrine, organization, training, materiel,
  leadership and education, personnel, and facilities (known as DOTMLPF) analysis and research into past and
  present H2F-related initiatives. Each element is critical to creating a system for Soldier readiness.
  GOVERNANCE
  In the H2F System, the governance element is defined as the command and control, regulations, policies,
  evaluation and resourcing provided by DA H2F leadership. For the H2F System to work it must be
  implemented properly. Governance at the senior leader levels ensures consistent adoption, application and
  compliance.
  H2F System governance includes an Army H2F steering committee, an Army H2F Capability Development
  Integration Directorate, and an Army H2F Program Manager. These groups work with existing Army
  organizations and industry, inform science and technology efforts, and integrate H2F programs and
  initiatives.
  Other key components of the governance element are surveillance and quality control, enabling leaders to
  track program execution and program results to hold subordinate leaders and trainers accountable.
  Governance allows the H2F System to be rapidly modified based on outcomes and lessons learned.
  PROGRAM
  The program element for the H2F System is the doctrinal description of how leaders will implement the H2F
  System in their units. The program includes the five domains of physical readiness, nutritional readiness,
  spiritual readiness, mental readiness, and sleep readiness. The doctrine provides the foundation for all Soldier
  readiness programs. It is the standard to optimize Soldiers’ performance as they move about the Army and
  the battlefield. The physical programming includes a much broader range of physical readiness training
  modalities than has previously been described in doctrine. It includes programs such as Army Water Survival
  Training, Running Skill, and Pregnancy and Postpartum Physical Training. The program also includes
  nonphysical domains of readiness. Nutritional readiness emphasizes eating for performance in garrison and
  operational settings. Spiritual readiness is contextualized for all Soldiers and their leaders against the Army’s
  moral and ethical fabric without regard for specific religious beliefs or traditions. Mental readiness includes
  techniques to improve cognitive thinking skills, emotional control, and interpersonal skills. Sleep readiness
  directs Soldiers on the proper dosing and techniques for maintaining the health of their most important body
  part—the brain.
  PERSONNEL
  The personnel element in the H2F System are those Soldiers, government service and contracted performance
  experts who are assigned to brigade-sized units. They have been validated by the Army as experts in H2F
  programs and know how to synchronize each domain to optimize Soldier readiness. These personnel form
  the commander’s H2F performance team—a team dedicated to performance readiness. They include
  individuals such as physical therapists, registered dietitians, occupational therapists, and strength and
  conditioning specialist and athletic trainers. These highly qualified experts work with the brigade chain of
  command, unit-level H2F trainers, master fitness trainer (MFT) instructors, and ACFT graders, as well as
  unit medical and installation personnel to develop and coordinate performance readiness.
