In October 2024, the Army established a new Skill Qualification Identifier, or SQI, for Holistic Health and Fitness, or H2F. The new SQI is called the H2F Advisor and is designed to serve as the technical and tactical expert for the H2F System. This SQI is the Army’s latest investment in how the Army prepares Soldiers to optimize their performance, reduce injuries, and improve personal readiness on and off the battlefield.
