Wellness at Air Command and Staff College: Impacting Total Force Readiness Through Tomorrow's Leaders

Abstract

Maintaining the health and fitness level of the Active Force is an important factor contributing to mission readiness. As leaders and future leaders within the military services, the Air Command and Staff College (ACSC) faculty and students are prime candidates to demonstrate and deliver this vital message to the field. Based on conceptual research, this project describes the premise for implementing a comprehensive wellness/health promotion program at ACSC. Current literature suggests that this type of program, if well executed, has the potential to provide many tangible and intangible benefits. Various wellness program models are investigated and the research question focuses on identifying the model that would potentially have the most significant impact on the target population. The findings and conclusions strongly support the importance of such a program from the strategic and operational levels, and suggest that a worksitebased (corporate-executive model) approach would be most appropriate at the tactical level.
