Responsibilities

• Execute a comprehensive physical readiness program designed to improve Soldier performance and reduce injury rates, in alignment with the Army's Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) doctrine.

Following the intake, the Coach shall develop a tailored, written ACFT/AFFT "Get-Well" Plan within ten (10) business days after assessment, actively manage the case through continuous coaching, and formally close the case only upon receiving official unit notification that the Service Member has successfully passed a record fitness test.
