Check out the recording from our recent webinar Closing H2F Capability Gaps with Hunter Treuchet.
Hunter answers questions on:
- Implementation and integration of the H2F program across the entire Army
- The cultural shift needed by soldiers, leaders, and healthcare providers
- Funding and resource allocation
- Developing reliable and valid measures to track soldier performance and program impact
- Sustaining the H2F initiative beyond the initial implementation
The Army's H2F initiative, or Holistic Health and Fitness, is a comprehensive program designed to improve the physical, nutritional, mental, spiritual, and sleep health of Soldiers. The goal of the H2F initiative is to create a more resilient and ready force by reducing injury rates, improving performance, and enhancing overall health and well-being.
Still in its infancy, the H2F initiative is implemented through a variety of programs and initiatives, including performance teams, education and training, and facilities and equipment. Although H2F has the potential to make a significant difference in the health and fitness of Soldiers, some identified gaps have slowed down the rapid adoption and immediate success of the program.
