John Myers (left), plans analyst, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, briefs Army senior leaders, to include Sgt. Maj. of the Army Raymond F. Chandler III (middle), senior enlisted leader of the U.S. Army, about what is being done in the Physical Demands Study taking place, here at the Company D “Dragons,” 1st Battalion, 30th Infantry Regiment “Battle Boars,” 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division’s, motor pool, March 12. This task is just one part of the PDS that the Dragons have been spearheading for the 2nd ABCT, in conjunction with TRADOC, and the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine. The study’s purpose is to conduct a thorough evaluation, gathering as much scientific data as possible on what it takes to accomplish certain physically demanding tasks deemed inherent to four different combat military occupation specialties. The intent is to hopefully allow the Army to develop "gender neutral physical standards." These validated standards are intended to shape future recruiting and accessions of both males and females into the evaluated MOSs. (U.S. Army panoramic-photo by Staff Sgt.
