Research Workshop on Physical Fitness Standards and Measurements Within the Military Service
Abstract
All military personnel regardless of occupational specialty, unit assignment, age or gender should acquire a base level of general physical fitness. This physical fitness promotes a standard of physical readiness commensurate with the active life style and deployability of the military profession. Such a DoD-wide generalized fitness standard will enhance overall health, physical well being, military readiness and appearance. This base level of fitness can then be used as a springboard to train personnel for further physically demanding occupational specialties or unit assignments and deployable combat readiness.
