Individual Health Readiness - a Leadership Responsibility.

Abstract

During the 21st Century, the continual evolution of advanced weapons systems combined with a smaller Army force structure will increase each soldier's importance. This creates a mandate to enhance individual soldier readiness. Army leaders must learn to provide a comprehensive program to promote individual readiness through soldier preventive maintenance (Soldier PM). Leaders must be trained to create, monitor and sustain environments that value and promote health. Leaders must incorporate Soldier PM into every level of military training, making it as much an intrinsic Army standard as is preventive equipment maintenance.
