WEBVTT

00:00.009 --> 00:02.231
So far , we've heard a lot about uh how

00:02.231 --> 00:04.440
H two F human performance teams are

00:04.449 --> 00:06.560
working within their resource brigade

00:06.560 --> 00:08.505
for this next presentation . We're

00:08.505 --> 00:10.727
gonna switch it up a little bit . We're

00:10.727 --> 00:12.949
gonna hear from two individuals who are

00:12.949 --> 00:15.060
making H two F happen . But our nonso

00:15.060 --> 00:17.227
brigades , our first presenter of this

00:17.227 --> 00:19.250
section will be Jared Renner . He's

00:19.260 --> 00:21.204
currently the program director for

00:21.204 --> 00:23.260
First Cab uh first infantry division

00:23.260 --> 00:25.316
down at Fort Riley before he was the

00:25.316 --> 00:27.482
director . He was a strength coach and

00:27.482 --> 00:29.704
they used to have pilot up at Fort Drum

00:29.704 --> 00:31.760
and then also moved to uh Fort Riley

00:31.760 --> 00:34.130
with the 97th MP S and also their

00:34.139 --> 00:37.959
second uh brigade Sergeant

00:37.970 --> 00:40.319
Spencer Posey who's in the room with us

00:40.330 --> 00:42.497
is currently stationed uh with the old

00:42.497 --> 00:44.608
guard , their infantry regiment . His

00:44.608 --> 00:46.830
unit is a completely nonso brigade with

00:46.830 --> 00:49.349
no HPT intact . So Sergeant Posey has

00:49.360 --> 00:51.549
been charged to basically generate H

00:51.560 --> 00:54.029
two F results within his unit uh using

00:54.040 --> 00:56.207
resources that you'll hear about today

00:56.207 --> 00:58.373
that are basically at his fingertips .

00:58.373 --> 01:00.707
So , good afternoon , gentlemen , Jared ,

01:00.707 --> 01:02.929
we're gonna go ahead and start off with

01:02.929 --> 01:05.096
you . Awesome . Thank you . He said my

01:05.096 --> 01:07.096
name is Jared Reer I am the program

01:07.096 --> 01:09.262
director down here for the cab at Fort

01:09.262 --> 01:12.230
Riley . And next slide , please . And

01:12.239 --> 01:14.017
we will go ahead and talk about

01:14.017 --> 01:16.072
building an H two F team in an under

01:16.072 --> 01:18.295
resource unit and kind of what all that

01:18.295 --> 01:21.730
means . So next slide , please , what

01:21.739 --> 01:23.906
we're gonna talk about is what we mean

01:23.906 --> 01:26.319
by minimally resourced . What our

01:26.330 --> 01:28.163
contractors with their roles and

01:28.163 --> 01:30.529
responsibilities are kind of how we use

01:30.540 --> 01:33.730
things as a division and as a brigade

01:33.739 --> 01:35.628
that I was attached to how it all

01:35.628 --> 01:37.795
worked our strategy moving forward and

01:37.795 --> 01:37.739
then summarize all it together . So ,

01:37.750 --> 01:40.970
next slide , please . So what do I mean

01:40.980 --> 01:44.330
by minimally resourced for us , the

01:44.489 --> 01:47.410
army providers are all the same . We

01:47.419 --> 01:49.308
have our physical therapist , our

01:49.308 --> 01:51.586
occupational therapist , our dietician ,

01:51.586 --> 01:53.697
their enlisted counterparts where our

01:53.697 --> 01:55.697
big differences come in is we don't

01:55.697 --> 01:58.900
have our or we didn't have our civilian

01:59.319 --> 02:01.650
um counterparts or civilian providers

02:01.879 --> 02:04.680
or the 21 contractors per brigade .

02:05.389 --> 02:07.445
What happened here at Fort Riley ? A

02:07.445 --> 02:09.500
little bit of history was Fort Riley

02:09.500 --> 02:12.910
was one of the uh bases that had part

02:12.919 --> 02:15.649
of the pilot program from 2018 through

02:15.660 --> 02:18.779
21 . In 21 . We found out that Fort

02:18.789 --> 02:21.539
Riley was gonna have a delay between um

02:21.550 --> 02:24.059
being outfitted from the pilot program

02:24.070 --> 02:26.292
to the full roll out . So what happened

02:26.292 --> 02:29.779
was uh Major Grant Smith when had took

02:29.789 --> 02:32.130
the initiative and wrote up some local

02:32.139 --> 02:35.360
contracts to have a small number of

02:35.369 --> 02:37.425
strength coaches , a small number of

02:37.425 --> 02:39.591
athletic trainers here at the division

02:40.190 --> 02:42.460
ready to go to kind of bridge that gap

02:42.470 --> 02:44.692
now that our program directors are on ,

02:44.692 --> 02:46.914
are on ground and coming on ground . Um

02:46.914 --> 02:48.859
We still have those resources here

02:48.859 --> 02:50.880
available to us . So like I said ,

02:51.429 --> 02:53.839
instead of having the 21 contractors

02:53.850 --> 02:56.460
per , per gate , what we have are two ,

02:56.470 --> 02:59.100
we have uh four coaches , one per

02:59.110 --> 03:01.054
brigade and same with our athletic

03:01.054 --> 03:03.460
trainers . Um again , one per brigade

03:03.619 --> 03:05.730
and they all support as needed . Um ,

03:05.730 --> 03:07.730
to give a little bit of context for

03:07.730 --> 03:09.675
that . Uh Second brigade here , we

03:09.675 --> 03:11.600
worked as a team of just three

03:11.610 --> 03:13.777
providers and two contractors for well

03:13.777 --> 03:15.910
over a year and many of our other

03:15.919 --> 03:18.197
brigades here did as well . Next slide ,

03:18.197 --> 03:22.050
please . So the way we like

03:22.059 --> 03:24.281
to , the way we kind of approach , this

03:24.281 --> 03:26.630
was letting our contractors lean into

03:26.679 --> 03:28.623
some of the issues and some of the

03:28.623 --> 03:30.957
challenges that the brigades are facing .

03:30.957 --> 03:32.957
Uh , we operate very similar to the

03:32.957 --> 03:36.229
larger fully resource brigades there

03:36.240 --> 03:38.407
and those fully resourced teams , it's

03:38.407 --> 03:40.830
just on a different level . So very

03:40.839 --> 03:44.240
similarly , um co the coaches are going

03:44.250 --> 03:46.361
or leading morning PT and still are .

03:46.410 --> 03:48.440
Um , they design and disperse PT

03:48.449 --> 03:51.369
programs for the units as needed and

03:51.630 --> 03:53.779
like uh the units have already talked

03:53.789 --> 03:56.520
about , we design and execute those

03:56.529 --> 03:59.479
extender courses where we focus a

03:59.490 --> 04:01.268
little bit differently on those

04:01.268 --> 04:03.589
extender courses is as only one coach

04:03.600 --> 04:06.039
for the brigade . That was our main

04:06.050 --> 04:08.600
focus , getting , getting soldiers in

04:08.610 --> 04:10.666
and through those extended courses .

04:10.666 --> 04:12.777
For us , it was called UFT class unit

04:12.777 --> 04:14.666
fitness trainer . And each of the

04:14.666 --> 04:16.610
brigades had put their own spin on

04:16.610 --> 04:18.777
those courses . But all based off of a

04:18.777 --> 04:20.888
similar design to make minor versions

04:20.888 --> 04:23.679
of the coaches out there to implement

04:23.690 --> 04:25.929
those coach design and oriented

04:25.940 --> 04:28.829
programs where those coaches are a

04:28.839 --> 04:32.250
little bit more unique were one

04:32.260 --> 04:34.850
coach programming across multiple

04:34.859 --> 04:36.970
batons or across the entire brigade .

04:36.989 --> 04:39.850
What I did specifically was I had a

04:39.859 --> 04:42.510
handful of products and a handful of

04:42.519 --> 04:44.980
programs that I had typed up ahead of

04:44.989 --> 04:48.450
time , put on the brigade SharePoint

04:48.459 --> 04:50.570
ready for those units to just kind of

04:50.570 --> 04:53.369
grab as they needed where we would

04:53.380 --> 04:55.829
specialize a little bit is as units

04:55.839 --> 04:57.895
would reach out to us and we'll talk

04:57.895 --> 04:59.950
about this more a little bit later ,

04:59.950 --> 05:02.172
but as units would reach out , we would

05:02.172 --> 05:04.117
talk about some of those presigned

05:04.117 --> 05:06.549
plans and we could tweak and implement

05:06.559 --> 05:08.448
those as those as the unit needed

05:08.448 --> 05:10.890
towards their specific needs . And then

05:10.899 --> 05:13.010
it would also change the name to it .

05:13.010 --> 05:15.121
And now all of a sudden that unit has

05:15.121 --> 05:17.343
their special program , um designs made

05:17.343 --> 05:19.399
for them . And then another thing is

05:19.399 --> 05:21.399
having only one coach per brigade ,

05:21.429 --> 05:23.750
we'd also support across the across the

05:23.760 --> 05:25.829
division , two other assets . So if

05:26.160 --> 05:28.450
coach at Second brigade or sustainment ,

05:28.459 --> 05:30.681
if they had another or at first brigade

05:30.681 --> 05:32.626
or sustainment , had another event

05:32.626 --> 05:34.737
going on that really needed more than

05:34.737 --> 05:36.848
one hand or one , more than more than

05:36.848 --> 05:38.848
one set of coaching eyes there . We

05:38.848 --> 05:40.959
would very easily just slide over and

05:40.959 --> 05:42.903
help them out . Another thing that

05:42.903 --> 05:45.015
we're also able to do to a little bit

05:45.015 --> 05:47.070
lesser extent more as kind of , it's

05:47.070 --> 05:49.181
our availability um helping those non

05:49.181 --> 05:51.403
brigade resources like the MP S or Devy

05:51.403 --> 05:53.403
as well for our athletic trainers .

05:53.403 --> 05:55.570
Very similarly to the big teams , they

05:55.570 --> 05:57.792
assist in MS K sit call , they're gonna

05:57.792 --> 05:59.959
assist in treatment and rehab of those

05:59.959 --> 06:02.015
MS K injuries . However , where it's

06:02.015 --> 06:04.015
gonna be a little bit different for

06:04.015 --> 06:06.700
them is those A TS are also designing

06:06.709 --> 06:08.709
and implementing their own extender

06:08.709 --> 06:11.649
courses . They have NC OS come to come

06:11.660 --> 06:13.771
to classes , usually at the battalion

06:13.771 --> 06:15.771
level , come to courses for what we

06:15.771 --> 06:17.938
call reconditioning program leaders or

06:17.938 --> 06:21.519
RPL course , they have NC OS

06:22.149 --> 06:24.709
attending these courses , learning how

06:24.720 --> 06:27.230
to progress and arrest exercises around

06:27.239 --> 06:29.760
those individual , profiled soldierss

06:30.040 --> 06:32.429
around their limitations . So that way

06:32.440 --> 06:34.470
we're not having soldiers take the

06:34.480 --> 06:38.160
classic approach to PT uh or profile pt

06:38.230 --> 06:40.452
of just like we've already talked about

06:40.579 --> 06:42.635
um in previous presentations of just

06:42.635 --> 06:44.523
walking around the parking lot in

06:44.523 --> 06:47.059
circles . And then similarly , if other

06:47.070 --> 06:50.660
A TS are um having events or a lot of

06:50.670 --> 06:52.781
time , if there is our division level

06:52.781 --> 06:54.892
sporting events going on , those A TS

06:54.892 --> 06:57.589
are there to assist that as well . Next

06:57.600 --> 07:00.910
slide , please . So at second brigade .

07:00.920 --> 07:03.350
We took um kind of a marketing and

07:03.359 --> 07:05.589
sales approach to all of this . We had

07:05.600 --> 07:07.989
three main tiers to our marketing .

07:08.570 --> 07:11.309
First of that was our team leader . So

07:11.320 --> 07:13.869
our senior uh medical provider on there

07:13.929 --> 07:15.762
for us was Major Mike Bell , our

07:15.762 --> 07:18.239
physical therapist , he would attend

07:18.250 --> 07:21.529
brigade level meetings to give us

07:21.540 --> 07:23.651
pertinent information of what's going

07:23.651 --> 07:25.596
on in the brigade and also put out

07:25.596 --> 07:27.651
pertinent information to the brigade

07:27.651 --> 07:29.429
for classes we were running and

07:29.429 --> 07:31.484
resources , we were able to uh serve

07:31.484 --> 07:33.869
for the brigade . He would also invite

07:33.880 --> 07:36.102
us to battalion level meetings . So for

07:36.102 --> 07:38.269
those battalion level meetings , for a

07:38.269 --> 07:40.436
lot of us , it was just kind of a meet

07:40.436 --> 07:40.420
and greet at the beginning of the

07:40.429 --> 07:42.779
meeting , putting names with faces and

07:42.790 --> 07:45.079
letting those battalion leaders know

07:45.089 --> 07:47.600
what services we could offer as an H

07:47.609 --> 07:49.609
two F team and then giving them the

07:49.609 --> 07:51.739
contact information uh from that

07:54.190 --> 07:57.059
in the provider roles . One of our most

07:57.070 --> 08:00.339
effective forms of , I guess for us

08:00.350 --> 08:02.779
getting , getting customers was

08:02.799 --> 08:04.799
allowing those providers to do what

08:04.799 --> 08:06.799
they called uh executive medicine .

08:06.820 --> 08:10.179
Having those for us a lot , a lot of it

08:10.190 --> 08:12.301
was from our physical therapist , but

08:12.301 --> 08:14.412
having that physical therapist in off

08:14.412 --> 08:16.412
hours provide those battalion level

08:16.412 --> 08:18.246
leaders , those company uh level

08:18.246 --> 08:20.579
leaders whose schedule doesn't always

08:20.589 --> 08:22.700
allow for them to come in during

08:22.709 --> 08:25.910
regular clinic hours , giving them that

08:25.920 --> 08:28.269
care outside of those clinic hours ,

08:28.279 --> 08:30.390
they're getting special attention and

08:30.390 --> 08:32.580
they're also getting one on one time

08:32.590 --> 08:35.169
with that H two F provider to make sure

08:35.179 --> 08:37.320
that for us , the HP , that provider

08:37.330 --> 08:39.789
now has a captive audience to sing all

08:39.799 --> 08:41.799
the praises of H two F and what our

08:41.799 --> 08:44.539
capabilities are when it comes to the

08:44.549 --> 08:47.020
junior level leaders , letting those

08:47.030 --> 08:49.340
providers again talk about everything H

08:49.349 --> 08:51.516
two F can offer and getting those uh ,

08:51.516 --> 08:54.340
junior soldiers excited about this new

08:54.349 --> 08:58.080
product that or this new approach that

08:58.190 --> 09:00.079
the army is giving them . It's no

09:00.079 --> 09:02.859
longer the classic five days of three

09:02.869 --> 09:04.925
days of running , two days of muscle

09:04.925 --> 09:06.536
failure . We now have a more

09:06.536 --> 09:08.702
specialized approach , a more targeted

09:08.702 --> 09:10.591
approach to PT around specific um

09:10.591 --> 09:12.647
training events and whatnot to allow

09:12.647 --> 09:14.869
those soldiers to thrive and especially

09:14.869 --> 09:14.640
for those soldiers that they're already

09:14.650 --> 09:17.200
seeking care . It is not walking around

09:17.210 --> 09:19.377
the parking lot anymore . They have PT

09:20.020 --> 09:23.359
reconditioning PT designed to help them

09:23.380 --> 09:25.547
uh improve and get better around their

09:25.547 --> 09:28.359
limitations for the contractors . Um

09:28.369 --> 09:30.950
Similarly to what uh some of the other

09:30.960 --> 09:33.182
presentations have already talked about

09:33.182 --> 09:35.349
getting those contractors out , having

09:35.349 --> 09:37.293
them be seen and be helpful in the

09:37.293 --> 09:39.404
battalion , so be seen having coaches

09:39.404 --> 09:41.460
be their leading PT when available ,

09:41.739 --> 09:43.961
being part of that unit as much as they

09:43.961 --> 09:47.169
can be within uh the scope of having

09:47.179 --> 09:49.409
one coach per for an entire brigade .

09:49.690 --> 09:51.801
But having those coaches and athletic

09:51.801 --> 09:54.150
trainers be as much of the footprint as

09:54.159 --> 09:56.530
they can . And then that way that's

09:56.539 --> 09:59.859
helping to again , mark market our

09:59.869 --> 10:02.200
abilities when , when that civilian in

10:02.210 --> 10:04.099
the formation is gonna generate a

10:04.099 --> 10:07.369
little bit of questions . So what did

10:07.380 --> 10:09.436
we get from our marketing data ? The

10:09.436 --> 10:11.619
two basic takeaways are gonna be who's

10:11.630 --> 10:14.070
interested in H two F and who wasn't

10:15.219 --> 10:17.630
for us ? Our biggest takeaway . Our

10:17.640 --> 10:20.200
biggest customers were people who were

10:20.210 --> 10:22.719
from previously resource H two F units .

10:24.289 --> 10:26.400
They're coming from an , an HF UNIT .

10:26.450 --> 10:28.561
They would come to Fort Riley and now

10:28.561 --> 10:30.510
they are looking for those same

10:30.520 --> 10:32.576
resources . How do we get those same

10:32.576 --> 10:34.576
things that I had back where I came

10:34.576 --> 10:38.359
from . The next group were or are

10:39.130 --> 10:41.390
usually leaders who are coming from an

10:41.400 --> 10:43.178
athletic background or they pay

10:43.178 --> 10:45.344
attention to sports or athletes . They

10:45.344 --> 10:47.456
have uh Children who are in athletics

10:47.456 --> 10:50.299
and they understand that high level

10:50.440 --> 10:52.384
collegiate athletes , professional

10:52.384 --> 10:54.880
athletes have access to these types of

10:54.890 --> 10:57.770
resources . And so they want those same

10:57.780 --> 11:00.250
resources available to their soldiers

11:00.260 --> 11:02.427
for the same reasons . They want those

11:02.427 --> 11:04.260
soldiers to stay in the training

11:04.280 --> 11:06.530
sessions longer be , have fewer

11:06.539 --> 11:08.760
injuries and be able to do their job

11:08.770 --> 11:11.359
more effectively . And the last group ,

11:11.530 --> 11:15.349
um also a very large group are people

11:15.359 --> 11:17.415
who are just welcome to the change .

11:18.020 --> 11:20.131
They may be more senior in their army

11:20.131 --> 11:23.640
career . They have a list of bumps and

11:23.650 --> 11:26.760
bruises and injuries that they , that ,

11:26.770 --> 11:29.780
that they required in their time and

11:29.789 --> 11:32.479
they see these resources as a way for

11:32.489 --> 11:34.322
some of their junior soldiers to

11:34.322 --> 11:36.433
possibly avoid the number of injuries

11:36.433 --> 11:38.640
or some of the severity of bumps and

11:38.650 --> 11:40.761
bruises and aches and pains that they

11:40.761 --> 11:44.239
may that they've already acquired . Now

11:44.250 --> 11:46.659
who wasn't interested , um People for

11:46.669 --> 11:49.460
whatever reason , heard , heard bad

11:49.469 --> 11:51.358
things about H Two F or they have

11:51.358 --> 11:53.525
preconceived notions that H two F just

11:53.525 --> 11:55.747
has a bad reputation in their mind . It

11:55.747 --> 11:57.802
happens , we do our best to overcome

11:57.802 --> 12:00.136
that . But when , for us , as a team of ,

12:00.136 --> 12:02.358
like I said , for , as a team of five ,

12:02.358 --> 12:04.413
we were not gonna wait , spend extra

12:04.413 --> 12:06.358
time on those individuals who just

12:06.358 --> 12:08.539
weren't interested . Um The next group

12:08.549 --> 12:11.479
were so were leaders who

12:12.280 --> 12:14.502
kind of in that same group , maybe they

12:14.502 --> 12:16.724
just , they aren't interested . But the

12:16.724 --> 12:18.724
training calendar didn't , training

12:18.724 --> 12:20.780
calendar doesn't have a lot of white

12:20.780 --> 12:22.947
space available for H two F and that's

12:22.947 --> 12:25.869
completely , completely legitimate for

12:25.880 --> 12:28.549
us at Second Brigade for 2022 there

12:28.559 --> 12:31.799
were two NTC rotations and a Yukon

12:32.039 --> 12:35.030
rotation . So just for those of you who

12:35.039 --> 12:37.330
understand everything that entails ,

12:37.460 --> 12:39.679
that's not a lot of space for H two F

12:39.690 --> 12:41.801
to happen in between the , in between

12:41.919 --> 12:44.030
prepping and coming home for from all

12:44.030 --> 12:47.450
of that . And then lastly is kind of

12:47.460 --> 12:49.627
the opposite of the group who welcomed

12:49.627 --> 12:52.159
the change . Those leaders who have

12:52.320 --> 12:54.719
succeeded without the presence of H two

12:54.729 --> 12:57.609
F and they feel that their soldiers are

12:57.619 --> 13:00.309
best served to experience that same

13:00.320 --> 13:03.320
thing . Um Again , we do our best to

13:03.330 --> 13:06.059
overcome that but usually if they're

13:06.070 --> 13:07.959
not welcome to it , we again , we

13:07.959 --> 13:10.181
weren't gonna spend a whole lot of time

13:10.181 --> 13:12.403
in trying to convince them next slide ,

13:12.403 --> 13:15.750
please . So how do we use that data for

13:15.760 --> 13:18.390
us ? It helped build team efficiency .

13:18.400 --> 13:20.622
First of all , again , we know who your

13:20.622 --> 13:22.678
customers are and who your customers

13:22.678 --> 13:24.844
aren't . You can focus on those people

13:24.844 --> 13:26.900
who want your services . So , like I

13:26.900 --> 13:29.067
said , we're spending less time on the

13:29.067 --> 13:31.289
units who weren't ready for what we had

13:31.289 --> 13:34.820
to offer . It lets us focus um more

13:34.830 --> 13:37.460
attention on those units . We usually

13:37.469 --> 13:39.691
kind of one at a time because as a team

13:39.691 --> 13:42.440
of of 5 to 8 , we don't , we can't

13:42.450 --> 13:44.672
really spread across the entire brigade

13:44.672 --> 13:46.869
effectively . And then as we're

13:46.880 --> 13:49.940
spending time with , with that platoon

13:49.950 --> 13:52.169
company battalion , whatever it was ,

13:52.500 --> 13:54.278
it just just gives us increased

13:54.278 --> 13:56.333
effectiveness with them and we spend

13:56.333 --> 13:58.556
less time spin spinning our wheels . Um

13:58.556 --> 14:00.667
even with elements inside of the same

14:00.667 --> 14:02.778
battalion that may not be ready be as

14:02.778 --> 14:05.260
uh ready for the products , we can

14:05.270 --> 14:08.349
focus on those companies who are with

14:08.359 --> 14:10.859
that increased efficiency . It let us

14:10.869 --> 14:13.169
give those companies a more targeted

14:13.179 --> 14:15.068
product for what they're for what

14:15.068 --> 14:16.901
they're asking for . So as those

14:16.901 --> 14:19.059
leaders , as those customers are , we

14:19.070 --> 14:21.070
talk with them and they say , hey ,

14:21.070 --> 14:23.126
here's what we want . Here's what we

14:23.126 --> 14:25.181
need . It may only include initially

14:25.181 --> 14:27.237
one or two specialties or one or two

14:27.237 --> 14:29.669
members of the team . Let's say it was

14:29.679 --> 14:33.619
ABC P and Sleep for

14:34.270 --> 14:36.381
a company commander . Those are their

14:36.381 --> 14:38.979
two biggest issues at the moment . Then

14:38.989 --> 14:41.211
in that case , our ot and our dietician

14:41.211 --> 14:43.433
would be the ones to go talk to him . A

14:43.433 --> 14:46.669
coach may tag along to input a thing ,

14:46.679 --> 14:49.979
a couple nuggets here and there . But

14:50.489 --> 14:53.570
it lets us really focus on what that

14:53.580 --> 14:56.489
company needed at that time and then

14:56.500 --> 14:58.719
move forward from there . I said our

14:58.729 --> 15:00.785
entire team can narrow the scope for

15:00.785 --> 15:02.951
what they need . Once leadership would

15:02.951 --> 15:05.049
see value in that we've helped them

15:05.059 --> 15:07.337
correct and solve some of those issues ,

15:07.337 --> 15:09.392
they're probably gonna come back and

15:09.392 --> 15:11.448
ask us for a little bit more later .

15:11.448 --> 15:11.159
We've taken those big issues off the

15:11.169 --> 15:13.520
table . Now , they can see what H two F

15:13.530 --> 15:15.586
can do to help some of those smaller

15:15.586 --> 15:17.641
issues as well . And the other thing

15:17.650 --> 15:19.760
with that targeted product , if a

15:19.770 --> 15:21.992
leader is seeing value in that , if its

15:21.992 --> 15:24.214
a leader is putting emphasis on those ,

15:24.219 --> 15:26.440
their soldier is probably going to see

15:26.450 --> 15:28.617
some of that value and be a little bit

15:28.617 --> 15:31.130
more inclined to pay attention in those

15:31.140 --> 15:33.380
presentations in those classes . Now ,

15:33.390 --> 15:35.909
that's not true across the board , but

15:36.830 --> 15:38.997
for those soldiers who are invested in

15:38.997 --> 15:41.309
what their leadership is interested in ,

15:41.719 --> 15:43.941
they're gonna get , they're gonna get a

15:43.941 --> 15:46.052
little bit more out of the product as

15:46.052 --> 15:48.275
well . And this also helps with growing

15:48.275 --> 15:50.386
the program as well . Right . Success

15:50.386 --> 15:52.552
is contagious whether it's in the same

15:52.552 --> 15:54.608
battalion . You have companies start

15:54.608 --> 15:56.552
doing well , other companies wanna

15:56.552 --> 16:00.169
perform well . Also leaders also

16:00.179 --> 16:02.489
want kind of that shiny new thing ,

16:02.500 --> 16:04.722
right ? As a coach and my voice carries

16:04.722 --> 16:07.239
quite a bit , having that coach bark

16:07.250 --> 16:10.520
out reps during , during PT that

16:10.530 --> 16:12.530
attracts attention . You wonder why

16:12.530 --> 16:15.219
this bearded person is , is uh leading

16:15.229 --> 16:17.619
PT for soldiers that generates

16:17.630 --> 16:19.741
conversations . You hopefully more be

16:19.741 --> 16:22.650
more good than bad , but that generates

16:22.659 --> 16:25.520
talking points . Leaders see that they

16:25.530 --> 16:27.697
want that for their soldiers as well .

16:28.840 --> 16:31.070
With success is contagious . Leaders

16:31.080 --> 16:34.099
don't like taking second place if a

16:34.109 --> 16:36.780
company had been performing best in the

16:36.789 --> 16:40.340
battalion at , at uh ABC or at

16:40.739 --> 16:43.080
AC FTS . Now , all of a sudden they

16:43.090 --> 16:45.539
aren't because this other company who

16:45.549 --> 16:47.771
had been in second place is using H two

16:47.771 --> 16:50.580
F . Now all of a sudden that company

16:50.590 --> 16:52.690
who is newly in second place and no

16:52.700 --> 16:54.811
longer in first place , they're gonna

16:54.811 --> 16:56.867
want to get back on top . So again ,

16:56.867 --> 16:59.033
letting success is contagious . Having

16:59.033 --> 17:02.940
those leaders reach out again and

17:02.950 --> 17:05.709
then lastly building on all of these ,

17:07.199 --> 17:09.255
there is more than one time we would

17:09.255 --> 17:11.560
interact with leaders who were not

17:11.569 --> 17:14.030
interested in our initial reach out and

17:14.040 --> 17:16.569
marketing phase that they've seen the

17:16.579 --> 17:19.030
pro the program from afar . Now we're

17:19.040 --> 17:21.207
welcoming them back in when they reach

17:21.207 --> 17:23.373
out to us . And it may be something as

17:23.373 --> 17:25.707
simple as , hey coach , can you send me ,

17:25.707 --> 17:27.880
can you send me a PT plan or talking

17:27.890 --> 17:30.223
with the dietitian . Hey , can you give ,

17:30.223 --> 17:32.390
can you give our our guys a class ? It

17:32.390 --> 17:34.557
can be something that simple that just

17:34.557 --> 17:36.668
opens the door for the entire team to

17:36.668 --> 17:39.410
come in and assist . Later . Next slide ,

17:39.420 --> 17:43.349
please . So using all this

17:43.359 --> 17:45.510
setting the table , the goal of our

17:45.520 --> 17:48.089
small team is first and foremost

17:48.099 --> 17:51.619
serving whatever size unit that was ,

17:52.119 --> 17:54.329
that was talking with us as best as

17:54.339 --> 17:56.489
possible . We give them the best

17:56.500 --> 17:58.500
service possible , help them be the

17:58.500 --> 18:00.611
best unit they can be to help lay the

18:00.611 --> 18:03.260
groundwork for the larger h to roll out .

18:03.849 --> 18:06.150
Like I said from September of 21

18:06.160 --> 18:08.382
through now , we are still operating on

18:08.382 --> 18:10.469
those small teams and the program

18:10.479 --> 18:12.646
directors are just starting to come on

18:12.646 --> 18:14.709
board . So having , having those

18:14.969 --> 18:17.089
contractors in place to still

18:17.949 --> 18:20.569
facilitate the programs that they are

18:20.579 --> 18:22.670
is a big help rather than having to

18:22.680 --> 18:24.680
wait for our contractors to come in

18:24.680 --> 18:27.619
whenever that happens next year , it's

18:27.630 --> 18:30.500
also gonna ease the transition for the

18:30.510 --> 18:32.630
new providers that will be coming in

18:32.670 --> 18:34.689
both Army and Sedan

18:37.500 --> 18:39.689
for those teams . If you do outfit

18:39.699 --> 18:42.670
teams on this , on the smaller level ,

18:43.380 --> 18:45.640
keep in mind both kind of combine these

18:45.650 --> 18:47.609
last two of small victories and

18:47.619 --> 18:50.369
exploitation management coming in ,

18:50.380 --> 18:52.436
coming into these roles as a brigade

18:52.436 --> 18:54.769
lead as the division lead coach as well .

18:55.349 --> 18:57.469
We want to effect change across the

18:57.479 --> 18:59.520
entire brigade as quickly and

18:59.530 --> 19:02.589
effectively as possible as a team of

19:02.599 --> 19:05.290
five that is just more challenging to

19:05.300 --> 19:08.719
do than a team of 35 . So in when

19:08.729 --> 19:10.896
you're in those teams , working with a

19:10.896 --> 19:12.729
single squad or working with the

19:12.729 --> 19:14.729
platoon or working with a company ,

19:14.729 --> 19:16.673
realize you were an improving that

19:16.673 --> 19:18.840
company and that will grow , that will

19:18.840 --> 19:21.007
set the table , so to speak , for that

19:21.007 --> 19:23.109
bigger team to roll out because they

19:23.119 --> 19:25.230
will talk about you when the new when

19:25.239 --> 19:27.295
the full roll happens like , oh , we

19:27.295 --> 19:30.069
had this coach back then . That will be

19:30.079 --> 19:32.290
a thing you've , you have succeeded in

19:32.300 --> 19:34.910
setting in setting the table . Like I

19:34.920 --> 19:37.031
said , it's not gonna feel like a win

19:37.031 --> 19:38.976
at the time . It feels like just a

19:38.976 --> 19:40.976
regular Wednesday and you just work

19:40.976 --> 19:43.087
with that and with that group again ,

19:43.087 --> 19:45.198
but that is the win in the long run .

19:45.198 --> 19:47.198
Like I said , these teams of five ,

19:47.198 --> 19:49.309
these teams of eight can accomplish a

19:49.309 --> 19:51.531
lot in , in their footprint . It's just

19:51.531 --> 19:53.642
not gonna be the same as a team of 38

19:53.642 --> 19:55.642
even though that's , that's what we

19:55.642 --> 19:57.920
would all like for it to be next slide ,

19:57.920 --> 20:01.660
please . So in

20:01.670 --> 20:04.280
closing , one thing that I will if you

20:04.290 --> 20:06.959
don't have H two F yet , if you're co

20:06.969 --> 20:09.080
if it's coming to you in the next few

20:09.080 --> 20:11.413
years and you want it to be there . Now ,

20:11.449 --> 20:13.505
for those , for those division level

20:13.505 --> 20:15.671
leaders find a way to augment your MTO

20:15.671 --> 20:17.782
green suitors as soon as possible for

20:17.782 --> 20:19.893
us . It was finding that , that local

20:19.893 --> 20:23.469
contract put out by the division for a

20:23.479 --> 20:25.819
small number of contractors , both

20:25.979 --> 20:28.300
coaches and A Ts . Once you get those

20:28.310 --> 20:30.619
contractors on ground , let them be

20:30.630 --> 20:33.630
that forward facing member of the team ,

20:33.640 --> 20:35.696
let them kind of go out find some of

20:35.696 --> 20:37.751
those friction points because that's

20:37.751 --> 20:39.862
what those coaches and A Ts do . They

20:39.862 --> 20:41.862
find those friction points and find

20:41.862 --> 20:43.640
ways to solve those problems as

20:43.640 --> 20:45.862
effectively as possible . Letting those

20:45.862 --> 20:47.973
medical providers do their , do their

20:47.973 --> 20:50.084
job as providers because again , they

20:50.084 --> 20:52.251
don't have those civilian counterparts

20:52.251 --> 20:54.307
to take up some of that slack in the

20:54.307 --> 20:56.609
Brigade for those teams . Find out your

20:56.619 --> 20:58.841
marketing strategy . It doesn't have to

20:58.841 --> 21:01.130
be the what we did , but find who your

21:01.140 --> 21:03.319
customers are gonna be and lean into

21:03.329 --> 21:05.273
those customers . That's how we're

21:05.273 --> 21:07.496
gonna affect change at that local level

21:07.496 --> 21:10.709
and which will grow to the Brigade and

21:10.719 --> 21:13.770
again , giving those customers exactly

21:13.780 --> 21:15.724
what they want , giving them great

21:15.724 --> 21:17.969
customer service , almost what I call

21:17.979 --> 21:20.290
over serving them on what they need ,

21:20.300 --> 21:22.356
helping solve problems . They didn't

21:22.356 --> 21:24.356
even know they had by solving their

21:24.356 --> 21:26.133
initial problems . So , so , uh

21:26.133 --> 21:28.140
thoroughly which in the end that's

21:28.150 --> 21:30.261
gonna lay the foundation for the full

21:30.261 --> 21:33.359
roll out to build on . So , next slide ,

21:33.369 --> 21:37.339
please . So again , thank

21:37.349 --> 21:39.469
you . Um , Jaded Reer here at the cab

21:39.479 --> 21:41.590
before rally . My contact information

21:41.590 --> 21:43.535
is at the bottom . If you have any

21:43.535 --> 21:45.757
questions , I'm more than happy to help

21:45.757 --> 21:49.680
out . Thank you . Thanks , Jared .

21:49.689 --> 21:51.578
Great presentation . And that's a

21:51.578 --> 21:53.810
really great example of utilizing what

21:53.819 --> 21:56.000
limited resources you have uh to get

21:56.010 --> 21:57.732
after H two F and , and really

21:57.732 --> 21:59.454
accomplish the mission for the

21:59.454 --> 22:01.677
commanders there down at that unit . Um

22:01.677 --> 22:03.843
I think a lot of us who have been down

22:03.843 --> 22:06.010
in the brigades and division level can

22:06.010 --> 22:08.066
kind of account for the fact that it

22:08.066 --> 22:08.010
takes a while to build that team . So

22:08.020 --> 22:10.242
even , you know , 1 October or whatever

22:10.242 --> 22:12.409
your fielding year is , the , the team

22:12.409 --> 22:14.520
doesn't just fall from the sky . So ,

22:14.520 --> 22:16.631
you know , these are some really good

22:16.631 --> 22:16.239
lessons you can take because you're

22:16.250 --> 22:18.194
gonna get a couple people here , a

22:18.194 --> 22:20.417
couple of people there and you may be a

22:20.417 --> 22:22.528
team of 5 to 10 for a couple months .

22:22.528 --> 22:24.583
Um especially if we really emphasize

22:24.583 --> 22:26.806
hiring uh the quality over the quantity

22:26.806 --> 22:28.972
like we often talk about . So , thanks

22:28.979 --> 22:32.699
again , Jared . Thank you . OK . So our

22:32.709 --> 22:34.876
next presenter is sitting next to me ,

22:34.876 --> 22:36.931
you probably if you were here during

22:36.931 --> 22:36.859
the commercial break , you might have

22:36.869 --> 22:39.510
seen his clip . And so I wanna welcome

22:39.520 --> 22:41.819
Sergeant Posey . Thanks for having me ,

22:41.829 --> 22:44.619
sir . I appreciate it . My presentation

22:44.630 --> 22:46.241
is called Collaboration Over

22:46.241 --> 22:48.729
Competition and it's about building and

22:48.739 --> 22:50.719
getting after H two F and a Nonso

22:51.079 --> 22:53.760
Brigade . And we've gotten after that

22:53.770 --> 22:55.992
through utilizing current resources and

22:55.992 --> 22:58.048
building relationships and gathering

22:58.048 --> 23:00.159
and bolstering support to provide our

23:00.159 --> 23:02.510
own version of H two F uh nestled

23:02.520 --> 23:05.300
within Cimtsh Two F next slide , please .

23:06.920 --> 23:08.864
So a little background . The third

23:08.864 --> 23:10.976
United States Infantry regiment , the

23:10.976 --> 23:12.976
old Guard . We are located at Joint

23:12.976 --> 23:15.309
Base , Myer Henderson Hall in Arlington ,

23:15.309 --> 23:17.531
Virginia . And we are the army's oldest

23:17.531 --> 23:19.698
active infantry regiment and we have a

23:19.698 --> 23:21.753
storied history and a unique mission

23:21.753 --> 23:23.753
set . We have three mission central

23:23.753 --> 23:26.087
tasks and the first is mortuary affairs .

23:26.087 --> 23:28.859
So we conduct all of the funerals in

23:28.869 --> 23:31.091
Arlington National Cemetery , laying to

23:31.091 --> 23:33.258
rest our fallen comrades . Second , we

23:33.258 --> 23:35.425
do ceremonies and special events where

23:35.425 --> 23:38.010
we represent the army and communicate

23:38.020 --> 23:40.353
its history to the nation and the world .

23:40.560 --> 23:42.782
And then lastly , we do defense support

23:42.782 --> 23:45.004
of civil authorities . So on order , we

23:45.004 --> 23:47.430
can conduct defense of the civil

23:47.439 --> 23:49.439
authorities in the national capital

23:49.439 --> 23:51.839
region . Our soldiers are stressed in

23:51.849 --> 23:53.905
unique ways , carrying out important

23:53.905 --> 23:55.640
and high profile missions with

23:55.650 --> 23:57.817
countless precision movements and long

23:57.817 --> 23:59.928
ceremonial stands that require poison

23:59.930 --> 24:02.239
and much more . The cost of this

24:02.250 --> 24:05.400
mission set is physical but also leans

24:05.410 --> 24:07.521
heavily into the non-physical domains

24:07.521 --> 24:09.632
of H two F and I'm here to talk about

24:09.632 --> 24:12.790
how we got after that and compile data

24:12.800 --> 24:14.522
and are able to present on the

24:14.522 --> 24:16.959
importance of getting after that line

24:16.969 --> 24:20.380
of effort . Next slide , please . So

24:20.390 --> 24:22.612
our regiment , the the old guard is led

24:22.612 --> 24:24.779
by Colonel David Roland and Major Guam

24:25.770 --> 24:27.881
and they care deeply about the health

24:27.881 --> 24:29.714
and welfare and readiness of our

24:29.714 --> 24:31.881
soldiers . So we embarked on a mission

24:31.881 --> 24:33.937
with a , with a big vision of making

24:33.937 --> 24:35.770
measurable change and a proof of

24:35.770 --> 24:37.880
concept 90 day pilot program . So on

24:37.890 --> 24:39.668
the slide , you can see our our

24:39.668 --> 24:41.834
timeline , right ? And we spent months

24:41.834 --> 24:43.839
building relationships with the

24:45.180 --> 24:47.402
different entities on the bottom of the

24:47.402 --> 24:49.959
page . But on the top , we chose a , a

24:49.969 --> 24:52.339
company from the Mortuary Affairs

24:52.349 --> 24:54.609
Battalion called Delta Company's Deco

24:54.939 --> 24:57.510
and they conduct mortuary affairs at a

24:57.520 --> 24:59.520
very high operational tempo as well

24:59.520 --> 25:01.687
supporting ceremonial missions . Now ,

25:01.687 --> 25:03.576
this company has about 100 and 10

25:03.576 --> 25:06.060
personnel and on the top left of that

25:06.069 --> 25:08.180
screen , you see smarter base . So we

25:08.180 --> 25:09.989
chose Smarter Base as our human

25:10.000 --> 25:11.889
performance optimization software

25:11.889 --> 25:14.079
platform to collect and analyze our

25:14.089 --> 25:16.459
data in a very succinct and precise way .

25:17.150 --> 25:19.261
Now small disclosure smarter base was

25:19.261 --> 25:21.317
the the only portion of our proof of

25:21.317 --> 25:23.900
concept pilot that required funds and

25:23.910 --> 25:26.077
it actually came out to about 26 cents

25:26.077 --> 25:28.243
per soldier . For this pilot program ,

25:28.890 --> 25:31.112
we also received help from decom in the

25:31.112 --> 25:33.279
form of fatigue science ready bands so

25:33.279 --> 25:35.223
that we could track these soldiers

25:35.223 --> 25:37.390
sleep patterns at length and quality .

25:37.390 --> 25:39.446
Now , for awareness , no soldier was

25:39.446 --> 25:41.699
required to engage in smarter base or

25:41.709 --> 25:43.876
wear a ready band without them wanting

25:43.876 --> 25:46.042
to do that . And when they were uh put

25:46.042 --> 25:48.265
on the the smarter base app , they were

25:48.265 --> 25:50.376
deidentified . So there's no personal

25:50.376 --> 25:52.589
identifying information . So for our

25:52.599 --> 25:55.130
pilot program , it started on July 24th ,

25:55.140 --> 25:57.510
we we took the the soldiers that wanted

25:57.520 --> 25:59.631
to get on smarter base and take those

25:59.631 --> 26:01.631
initial assessments through smarter

26:01.631 --> 26:03.464
base . And we used the spiritual

26:03.464 --> 26:05.687
readiness assessment through the office

26:05.687 --> 26:07.909
of the Chief of Chief of Chaplains . We

26:07.909 --> 26:10.131
used a mental readiness assessment that

26:10.131 --> 26:11.853
was built out by the Ready and

26:11.853 --> 26:13.853
resilient team at Fort Belvoir . We

26:13.853 --> 26:16.187
used the Pittsburgh sleep quality index ,

26:16.187 --> 26:18.353
uh to measure sleep quality and length

26:18.353 --> 26:20.576
and also the American College of Sports

26:20.576 --> 26:22.187
Medicine , height and weight

26:22.187 --> 26:24.353
assessments . So those are the initial

26:24.353 --> 26:24.109
assessments that we took through

26:24.119 --> 26:26.979
smarter base and then soldiers are also

26:27.150 --> 26:29.560
doing an Am Wellness check which we uh

26:29.569 --> 26:32.560
borrowed from Josh Hagen at the Ohio

26:32.569 --> 26:36.010
State , uh which asks about seven

26:36.020 --> 26:38.131
different types of Am wellness . This

26:38.131 --> 26:40.298
is an a daily check that they do every

26:40.298 --> 26:43.260
morning . So we started our , our pilot

26:43.270 --> 26:46.079
on July 24th with initial assessments .

26:46.089 --> 26:48.311
We did our 30 day assessments on August

26:48.311 --> 26:50.670
22nd and we just completed our 60 day

26:50.680 --> 26:52.847
assessments on the 21st of September .

26:52.930 --> 26:54.986
So we're about two thirds of the way

26:54.986 --> 26:57.097
through our pilot program with our 90

26:57.097 --> 26:59.097
day assessments uh coming in on the

26:59.097 --> 27:01.530
21st of this month and then ending uh

27:01.560 --> 27:04.439
everything a couple days after . Now ,

27:04.449 --> 27:06.338
the entities on the bottom of the

27:06.338 --> 27:08.338
screen are all of our collaborative

27:08.338 --> 27:10.393
partners that have given time effort

27:10.393 --> 27:12.393
and support for our pilot program ,

27:12.393 --> 27:14.393
which we are extremely grateful for

27:14.393 --> 27:16.727
first and foremost . On the bottom left ,

27:16.727 --> 27:18.616
we have the Armed Forces Wellness

27:18.616 --> 27:20.560
Centers , which are uh on a lot of

27:20.560 --> 27:20.420
different installations across the

27:20.430 --> 27:22.374
United States and this one at Fort

27:22.374 --> 27:25.000
Belvoir is led by Nicole left and they

27:25.010 --> 27:26.899
offered some great things for our

27:26.899 --> 27:28.954
service members and , and families .

27:28.954 --> 27:30.621
They offer bod pods metabolic

27:30.621 --> 27:33.089
assessments . Uh vo two max testing ,

27:33.099 --> 27:35.540
stress management , nutrition ,

27:35.550 --> 27:38.050
education , so many things that can

27:38.060 --> 27:40.227
help the performance and , and educate

27:40.227 --> 27:42.338
and empower our soldiers . Secondly ,

27:42.339 --> 27:44.506
we have the Alexander Augusta Military

27:44.506 --> 27:46.395
Medical Center and that's at Fort

27:46.395 --> 27:48.849
Belvoir and their occupational therapy

27:48.859 --> 27:50.859
team and physical therapy team wrap

27:50.859 --> 27:52.915
their arms around us and help us and

27:52.915 --> 27:54.915
their physical therapy team gave us

27:54.915 --> 27:57.359
some injury prevention courses and

27:57.369 --> 27:59.530
classes on a weekly basis . And their

27:59.540 --> 28:01.689
occupational therapy team came and

28:01.699 --> 28:03.866
educated our soldiers on diaphragmatic

28:03.866 --> 28:06.032
breathing and mental imagery and , and

28:06.040 --> 28:08.096
so many other things including sleep

28:09.199 --> 28:11.421
moving over to the middle . We have the

28:11.421 --> 28:13.532
Walter Institute of , of research and

28:13.532 --> 28:15.755
that sleep team there with Doctor Sarah

28:15.755 --> 28:17.588
Alger and Captain Jones has been

28:17.588 --> 28:19.588
amazing with helping us utilize the

28:19.588 --> 28:21.643
sleep data from the Pittsburgh sleep

28:21.643 --> 28:23.699
quality index and uh help us come up

28:23.699 --> 28:25.921
with ideas on how to uh integrate sleep

28:25.921 --> 28:27.921
leadership into that culture and to

28:27.921 --> 28:30.032
improve the sleep of that formation .

28:30.089 --> 28:32.089
Next , we have champ , which is the

28:32.089 --> 28:34.033
Consortium for health and military

28:34.033 --> 28:36.089
performance . We utilize champ and ,

28:36.089 --> 28:38.089
and all the abundant resources that

28:38.089 --> 28:40.200
they have on human performance within

28:40.200 --> 28:42.367
our smarter base app . So later , I'll

28:42.367 --> 28:44.478
talk about the AM Wellness that these

28:44.478 --> 28:46.645
soldiers fill out , but based on those

28:46.645 --> 28:46.609
questions and how they answer those

28:46.619 --> 28:48.920
questions , the smarter base app takes

28:48.930 --> 28:51.097
them to champ and gives them resources

28:51.097 --> 28:53.208
and education on how to improve those

28:53.208 --> 28:55.486
different areas of , of daily wellness .

28:55.750 --> 28:57.972
Over to the right . We have operational

28:57.972 --> 28:59.930
supplement safety , which is a an

28:59.939 --> 29:03.369
amazing part of , of champ uh and uses

29:03.380 --> 29:05.547
which Miss Andrea Lindsay came out and

29:05.547 --> 29:07.713
provided supplement education to these

29:07.713 --> 29:09.824
soldiers about all different types of

29:09.824 --> 29:11.547
supplements and that there are

29:11.547 --> 29:13.213
supplements they can take and

29:13.213 --> 29:15.380
supplements . They they can't and gave

29:15.380 --> 29:17.491
us a little scorecard for soldiers to

29:17.491 --> 29:19.158
to go through when looking at

29:19.158 --> 29:21.269
supplements . So they can buy healthy

29:21.269 --> 29:23.213
performance supplements to improve

29:23.213 --> 29:25.436
their , their overall health . And last

29:25.436 --> 29:27.602
but definitely not least , uh the army

29:27.602 --> 29:29.824
ready and resilience center , they have

29:29.824 --> 29:29.420
provided some amazing cognitive

29:29.430 --> 29:31.652
performance experts to help and provide

29:31.652 --> 29:35.020
support as well as mentor that units M

29:35.030 --> 29:38.050
RT S or master resilience trainers . So

29:38.479 --> 29:40.646
ultimately , this collaborative effort

29:40.646 --> 29:42.701
shows that we can reduce ineffective

29:42.701 --> 29:44.868
redundancies and increase productivity

29:44.868 --> 29:47.090
and enhance the success of resources by

29:47.090 --> 29:49.146
synergize efforts and taking care of

29:49.146 --> 29:51.689
soldiers next slide , please . So here

29:51.699 --> 29:53.989
we have some inaction pictures and I'll

29:54.000 --> 29:56.709
go from left to right on the top , on

29:56.719 --> 29:58.619
the top left , we have a physical

29:58.630 --> 30:01.140
therapist . Uh Captain Foster from Fort

30:01.150 --> 30:03.317
Belvoir teaching our our soldiers some

30:03.317 --> 30:05.483
injury prevention going through the PM

30:05.483 --> 30:07.594
CS of your body if you will on how to

30:07.594 --> 30:09.829
lower injuries and get after training

30:09.839 --> 30:12.500
in a more effective intelligent way in

30:12.510 --> 30:14.621
the middle . We have Andrea Lindsay ,

30:14.621 --> 30:16.566
talking about supplements to Delta

30:16.566 --> 30:18.788
Company and educating them . And on the

30:18.788 --> 30:20.510
top right , we have one of our

30:20.510 --> 30:22.621
cognitive performance experts getting

30:22.621 --> 30:24.621
after the mental domain uh teaching

30:24.621 --> 30:26.510
Delta Company , I believe in that

30:26.510 --> 30:28.732
picture about a growth mindset versus a

30:28.732 --> 30:30.788
fixed mindset . That was an engaging

30:30.788 --> 30:33.739
conversation . Bottom left was after a

30:33.750 --> 30:37.599
sleep sleep LP D by uh Doctor Alison

30:37.609 --> 30:39.540
Briger out of SOCOM . She was so

30:40.010 --> 30:41.954
amazingly helpful in coming up and

30:41.954 --> 30:44.066
being able to , to speak to our , our

30:44.066 --> 30:46.177
soldiers about that and in the bottom

30:46.177 --> 30:48.399
middle , we have the armed forces , one

30:48.399 --> 30:50.621
that is giving out a , a metabolic test

30:50.621 --> 30:52.788
to our soldiers . And that's something

30:52.788 --> 30:51.979
we did at the beginning . So they could

30:51.989 --> 30:54.100
all have information on the amount of

30:54.100 --> 30:56.211
calories they burn so that they could

30:56.211 --> 30:58.489
utilize that in their nutrition plants .

30:58.540 --> 31:00.762
And then lastly on the bottom , right ,

31:00.762 --> 31:02.979
we have our , our tod uh specific meal

31:02.989 --> 31:05.280
prep class . So we , we realize that

31:05.290 --> 31:07.401
soldiers in the barracks , you know ,

31:07.401 --> 31:09.123
often don't have the skills or

31:09.123 --> 31:11.290
education to , to do meal prep . So we

31:11.290 --> 31:13.068
bring them in with a registered

31:13.068 --> 31:14.957
dietitian and a general officer ,

31:14.957 --> 31:16.957
enlisted aid and we , uh regimental

31:16.957 --> 31:19.179
commander pays for the groceries and we

31:19.179 --> 31:21.234
teach them how to create these meals

31:21.234 --> 31:23.290
and they cook them up themselves and

31:23.290 --> 31:22.739
they create them and then they go home

31:22.750 --> 31:24.972
for the weekend with , as you can see ,

31:24.972 --> 31:26.917
4 to 5 meals and a full belly . So

31:26.917 --> 31:29.028
that's an awesome line of effort that

31:29.028 --> 31:31.139
we're getting after and talk with the

31:31.139 --> 31:33.306
meal prep program . Now I'm gonna move

31:33.306 --> 31:35.361
to data and , and what's the data we

31:35.361 --> 31:37.250
have and how do we look at it and

31:37.250 --> 31:39.361
what's improved next slide , please ?

31:39.361 --> 31:41.250
First , we're gonna get after the

31:41.250 --> 31:41.119
spiritual domain and spiritual

31:41.130 --> 31:43.349
readiness . And like I said earlier ,

31:43.359 --> 31:45.470
the data we collected was through the

31:45.470 --> 31:47.692
spiritual readiness assessment from the

31:47.692 --> 31:49.748
office of the chief chaplains . This

31:49.748 --> 31:51.637
test is , is scored 1 to 5 with a

31:51.637 --> 31:54.410
higher score being better . And what ,

31:54.420 --> 31:56.420
how did we implement this spiritual

31:56.420 --> 31:58.420
readiness uh line of effort in this

31:58.910 --> 32:01.021
formation is we did weekly resilience

32:01.021 --> 32:03.243
enhancement conversations with the unit

32:03.243 --> 32:05.410
ministry team . And that was just at a

32:05.410 --> 32:08.930
squad , 1 to 2 squad uh type of of

32:08.939 --> 32:11.050
engagement where they just talk about

32:11.050 --> 32:13.106
having a meaning and a purpose . And

32:13.106 --> 32:15.390
then also talking about the why the why

32:15.500 --> 32:17.556
the old guard mission is important .

32:17.556 --> 32:19.611
Why , why are we there ? And what is

32:19.611 --> 32:21.778
our story and how are we getting after

32:21.778 --> 32:24.111
it that that happened on a weekly basis ?

32:24.111 --> 32:26.167
And then we did one toughened spirit

32:26.167 --> 32:25.849
event and I'll have to credit the

32:25.859 --> 32:29.089
toughened spirit to the 1 73rd airborne

32:29.099 --> 32:31.210
and , and , and in the name of that ,

32:31.210 --> 32:33.432
but essentially , we took all the squad

32:33.432 --> 32:35.543
leaders out off the A O for a day and

32:35.543 --> 32:37.766
the chaplains led that event and we did

32:37.766 --> 32:39.988
some obstacle courses and we did some ,

32:39.988 --> 32:42.043
some team cohesion and communication

32:42.043 --> 32:44.155
games and fed them and just took them

32:44.155 --> 32:46.210
away from the daily grind of the job

32:46.210 --> 32:48.377
and just had conversations again about

32:48.377 --> 32:50.710
meaning and a purpose and , and the why .

32:50.710 --> 32:52.877
So the data on the top of the screen ,

32:52.877 --> 32:54.988
you can see that over the course of ,

32:54.988 --> 32:56.988
of the first three months uh or two

32:56.988 --> 32:59.210
months that 38% of that formation has a

32:59.210 --> 33:02.089
high and stable spiritual readiness .

33:02.099 --> 33:05.709
We have a 2% increase . 31% of that

33:05.719 --> 33:07.830
formation just has a stable spiritual

33:07.830 --> 33:11.439
readiness . We have a 10% uh with a

33:11.449 --> 33:13.616
stable and low spiritual readiness and

33:13.616 --> 33:17.250
then a 17% drop off and a 2% major drop

33:17.260 --> 33:19.229
off . And we can correlate that to

33:19.239 --> 33:21.239
operational demands of the mortuary

33:21.239 --> 33:23.295
fares and funerals being very , very

33:23.295 --> 33:25.183
high during the end of the summer

33:25.183 --> 33:27.239
season . Uh So it correlates to that

33:27.239 --> 33:29.461
and , and how that the spiritual domain

33:29.461 --> 33:31.683
is something that we need to constantly

33:31.683 --> 33:33.683
hit with this formation and that it

33:33.683 --> 33:35.906
stresses the why and the purpose in the

33:35.906 --> 33:37.739
meeting with these very critical

33:37.739 --> 33:39.795
missions . But overall , on the , on

33:39.795 --> 33:41.961
the right of that screen , you can see

33:41.961 --> 33:43.795
that over from July to August to

33:43.795 --> 33:45.683
September , the average spiritual

33:45.683 --> 33:47.683
readiness of that group has gone up

33:47.683 --> 33:47.369
significantly . And for that ,

33:47.380 --> 33:51.359
specifically 3.18 in , in July is

33:51.430 --> 33:54.150
technically below uh what they would

33:54.160 --> 33:56.327
consider optimal spiritual readiness .

33:56.327 --> 34:00.290
And September 4.01 is above optimal

34:00.300 --> 34:02.467
spiritual readiness . So we've , we've

34:02.467 --> 34:04.411
been making some , some good gains

34:04.411 --> 34:06.633
there in the spiritual readiness domain

34:06.633 --> 34:08.522
for , for the old garden . That's

34:08.522 --> 34:10.744
awesome . We're very excited about that

34:10.744 --> 34:12.967
next time , please . Next , we have the

34:12.967 --> 34:15.189
mental domain and we utilize the mental

34:15.189 --> 34:17.189
reads assessment from the Ready and

34:17.189 --> 34:19.411
Resilience Center at Fort Belvoir . And

34:19.411 --> 34:21.522
that's a uh a self assessed survey to

34:21.522 --> 34:23.744
measure someone's or in an individual's

34:23.749 --> 34:26.358
mental readiness . And then we also did

34:26.368 --> 34:28.368
weekly utilization of the cognitive

34:28.368 --> 34:30.590
performance experts from the R two team

34:30.590 --> 34:32.757
and also the company master resilience

34:32.757 --> 34:35.510
training . They've done classes such as

34:35.520 --> 34:38.000
a growth versus fixed mindset , stress

34:38.010 --> 34:40.489
mindset , stress management , and a lot

34:40.500 --> 34:42.611
on diaphragmatic breathing so that we

34:42.611 --> 34:44.679
can help soldiers have that in the

34:44.689 --> 34:47.379
moment acute fix that acute response to

34:47.389 --> 34:49.389
stress with changing that from that

34:49.389 --> 34:51.689
sympathetic and that fight or flight to

34:51.699 --> 34:53.969
the parasympathetic rest and digest

34:54.219 --> 34:56.429
response that decreases their , their

34:56.439 --> 34:59.040
stress response physiologically . And

34:59.050 --> 35:01.419
as you can see on the top , right , the

35:02.070 --> 35:04.239
mental ratings assessment uh is scored

35:04.250 --> 35:06.139
higher , the better . So over the

35:06.139 --> 35:08.306
course of , of that two months , we've

35:08.306 --> 35:10.194
seen an increase in mental radius

35:10.194 --> 35:12.500
across that force . 70% of , of that

35:12.510 --> 35:14.649
company is a stable and high mental

35:14.659 --> 35:16.826
radius , which is great . We have a 4%

35:16.826 --> 35:18.929
improvement , 15% of that formation

35:18.939 --> 35:20.939
being stable and 11% drop off . And

35:20.939 --> 35:23.199
again , I believe we can correlate that

35:23.209 --> 35:25.431
to an increase in mortuary affairs over

35:25.431 --> 35:27.542
that those two month period of time .

35:27.770 --> 35:30.560
But overall a great increase uh in that

35:30.570 --> 35:32.737
formation as far as mental readiness .

35:32.737 --> 35:35.870
Next slide please . Here's where we get

35:35.879 --> 35:38.070
our big win and that's with sleep . So

35:38.080 --> 35:40.191
the data again was collected from the

35:40.191 --> 35:42.413
Pittsburgh sleep quality index and this

35:42.413 --> 35:44.524
was taken at uh day zero , day 30 day

35:44.524 --> 35:47.179
60 intervals . All of these were . And

35:47.550 --> 35:49.790
the way that we got after changing uh

35:49.800 --> 35:51.919
sleep within this formation is first

35:51.929 --> 35:54.139
and foremost , we , we empower that

35:54.149 --> 35:56.899
commander to have a squad designated PT

35:56.909 --> 35:59.129
plan . What that means is that those

35:59.139 --> 36:01.570
squad leaders can conduct PT at any

36:01.580 --> 36:03.802
time during the day that they see fit ,

36:04.000 --> 36:06.111
right ? Some , some squad leaders are

36:06.111 --> 36:08.222
still doing PT at 06 30 because their

36:08.222 --> 36:10.444
squad likes to do that . Some are doing

36:10.444 --> 36:12.556
it past 1600 right ? But we've seen a

36:12.556 --> 36:14.778
massive increase in the amount of sleep

36:14.778 --> 36:16.944
and quality of sleep that soldiers are

36:16.944 --> 36:18.611
getting . We also had a sleep

36:18.611 --> 36:20.500
leadership LP D done by uh Doctor

36:20.500 --> 36:22.722
Alison Brager , which was great helping

36:22.722 --> 36:24.778
us understand heart rate variability

36:24.778 --> 36:27.000
and setting conditions for good sleep .

36:27.000 --> 36:29.056
And then also we have the ready band

36:29.056 --> 36:31.167
sleep data uh to match that as well .

36:31.270 --> 36:34.020
So 49% of that formation has a stable

36:34.030 --> 36:36.086
and high sleep readiness . We have a

36:36.086 --> 36:39.090
massive 8 18% increase , which is great .

36:39.280 --> 36:42.169
Uh 27% of that is stable and a 6% drop

36:42.179 --> 36:44.310
off . And I'm sure that you know that

36:44.320 --> 36:46.500
6% drop off is probably some guys that

36:46.510 --> 36:48.510
are like , hey , if I don't have to

36:48.510 --> 36:50.510
come in until an hour later . Maybe

36:50.510 --> 36:52.621
I'll stay up an hour later myself . I

36:52.621 --> 36:54.677
think we've all done that . Um , but

36:54.677 --> 36:56.566
overall with the Pittsburgh sleep

36:56.566 --> 36:58.788
quality index , a lower score is better

36:58.788 --> 37:01.010
and that's a massive decrease from July

37:01.010 --> 37:03.177
with an average coming down almost two

37:03.177 --> 37:05.288
points . So , seeing some big changes

37:05.288 --> 37:07.121
in , in the sleep aspect of that

37:07.121 --> 37:09.288
formation which increases , you know ,

37:09.288 --> 37:11.232
decision making judgment increases

37:11.232 --> 37:13.343
morale , soldiers get to , you know ,

37:13.343 --> 37:15.343
wake up with their families , maybe

37:15.343 --> 37:17.510
take their kids to school , maybe have

37:17.510 --> 37:16.689
a little bit of a slower morning and

37:16.699 --> 37:18.810
then come to work and get after PT if

37:18.810 --> 37:21.250
they so choose so big one there for us .

37:21.350 --> 37:25.159
Next slide please . This is

37:25.169 --> 37:27.336
the overall aim wellness that I talked

37:27.336 --> 37:29.558
about earlier . So the am Wellness , if

37:29.558 --> 37:31.725
you look at the heptagon in the middle

37:31.725 --> 37:33.669
of that screen , uh looks at seven

37:33.669 --> 37:35.558
different aspects of , of a daily

37:35.558 --> 37:37.669
wellness . So first it asks you about

37:37.669 --> 37:39.780
sleep and it asks about hydration and

37:39.780 --> 37:42.113
nutrition , stress , fatigue , soreness ,

37:42.113 --> 37:44.336
and motivate motivation . Again , these

37:44.336 --> 37:46.447
are done on a daily basis . Um We can

37:46.447 --> 37:49.370
see that as we have increased our , our

37:49.429 --> 37:51.719
touch points with this formation , that

37:51.729 --> 37:53.840
utilization of this app has increased

37:53.840 --> 37:55.729
dramatically . And that's through

37:55.729 --> 37:57.729
building relationships . You know ,

37:57.729 --> 38:00.007
even though we're non resource brigade ,

38:00.007 --> 38:01.896
we're there , we're building that

38:01.896 --> 38:03.951
relationship . We're talking about H

38:03.951 --> 38:03.709
two fa lot , the leaders are talking

38:03.719 --> 38:05.941
about it and that increases awareness .

38:05.941 --> 38:08.163
So on the left of that screen , you can

38:08.163 --> 38:10.330
see the utilization of the AM wellness

38:10.330 --> 38:12.649
on a daily basis has gone dramatically

38:12.659 --> 38:15.090
over the last two months . So we're

38:15.100 --> 38:16.933
going from maybe a third of that

38:16.933 --> 38:19.100
formation to using it to almost 80% of

38:19.100 --> 38:21.156
that formation using it because they

38:21.156 --> 38:23.211
see the value in it and they get the

38:23.211 --> 38:25.100
responses and they , they get the

38:25.100 --> 38:27.449
resources to send them to chant back to

38:27.459 --> 38:29.489
the Heptagon in the middle . We see

38:29.500 --> 38:31.556
that the white line is July and that

38:31.556 --> 38:33.679
the blue line is August and we see a

38:33.689 --> 38:36.939
massive increase in hydration . We see

38:36.949 --> 38:39.116
better nutrition across the board . We

38:39.116 --> 38:41.116
see that stress is still relatively

38:41.116 --> 38:43.282
high , that fatigue is the same , that

38:43.282 --> 38:45.393
soreness is less because they've been

38:45.393 --> 38:47.505
getting those uh intervention courses

38:47.505 --> 38:49.616
and and PT planning courses on how to

38:49.616 --> 38:51.560
improve and intelligently their PT

38:51.560 --> 38:53.505
programming and that motivation is

38:53.505 --> 38:55.727
about the same and that they're getting

38:55.727 --> 38:57.893
more sleep . So we can see kind of how

38:57.893 --> 38:59.838
the formation changes based on the

38:59.838 --> 39:01.893
operational tempo of of what they're

39:01.893 --> 39:04.116
doing on a daily basis . That's the fat

39:04.116 --> 39:06.393
portion of the screen . And on the top ,

39:06.393 --> 39:08.449
right , the AM wellness is graded on

39:08.449 --> 39:10.616
out of 35 . So we see that the average

39:10.616 --> 39:12.782
is relatively , the same has gone down

39:12.782 --> 39:14.838
a little bit over the course of that

39:14.838 --> 39:17.005
two months . But there are significant

39:17.005 --> 39:19.171
increases in different aspects of that

39:19.171 --> 39:21.060
AM wellness on the bottom of that

39:21.060 --> 39:23.005
screen , we see impact . So we see

39:23.005 --> 39:25.338
stress how these soldiers have answered .

39:25.338 --> 39:27.338
Stress has increased over those two

39:27.338 --> 39:29.505
months . And for the old guard that is

39:29.505 --> 39:31.171
generally normal , we see our

39:31.171 --> 39:33.227
operational tempo go up dramatically

39:33.227 --> 39:35.449
towards the end of the summer . We have

39:35.449 --> 39:37.616
a lot of high profile missions and our

39:37.616 --> 39:39.838
international cemetery is constantly at

39:39.838 --> 39:42.116
a high operational tempo with funerals .

39:42.116 --> 39:44.282
When it comes to flags . We integrated

39:44.282 --> 39:46.505
a algorithm where if a soldier answered

39:46.505 --> 39:48.840
an Am Wellness question , two standard

39:48.850 --> 39:51.080
deviations away from his or her normal

39:51.090 --> 39:53.260
that it would get a flag . Now , we

39:53.270 --> 39:55.219
haven't been making any informed

39:55.229 --> 39:57.173
decisions with this data . What we

39:57.173 --> 39:59.118
wanna do is collect it and see the

39:59.118 --> 40:00.840
trends . But we see this as an

40:00.840 --> 40:03.820
opportunity for commanders or uh H two

40:03.830 --> 40:06.320
FNCO I CS and these nonso brigades for

40:06.330 --> 40:08.497
this to create an opportunity to build

40:08.497 --> 40:10.663
rapport and have a conversation with a

40:10.663 --> 40:12.886
soldier and maybe it's not like , hey ,

40:12.886 --> 40:12.770
your data is bad but hey , what's going

40:12.780 --> 40:16.429
on and build that relationship ? Um So

40:16.439 --> 40:18.328
yeah , that's , that's an overall

40:18.328 --> 40:20.383
aspect of how we're getting after it

40:20.383 --> 40:22.661
with Am Wellness . Next slide , please .

40:22.661 --> 40:24.717
So it's always good to have a second

40:24.717 --> 40:26.272
set of data to bolster your

40:26.272 --> 40:28.439
understanding and to look at it from a

40:28.439 --> 40:30.606
few different angles . So the we asked

40:30.606 --> 40:32.550
the occupational therapy team from

40:32.550 --> 40:34.717
Augusta Medical Center at Fort Belvoir

40:34.717 --> 40:36.939
to conduct some of their own methods of

40:36.939 --> 40:39.050
data collection on on Delta Company .

40:39.050 --> 40:41.106
So they did three different things .

40:41.106 --> 40:40.159
They first looked at heart rate

40:40.169 --> 40:42.489
variability . Second thing they looked

40:42.500 --> 40:44.556
at was the generalized anxiety score

40:44.556 --> 40:46.439
and lat it sleep . But first and

40:46.449 --> 40:48.560
foremost , we we looked at heart rate

40:48.560 --> 40:50.782
variability and it focused on coherence

40:50.782 --> 40:52.893
and coherence , positively correlates

40:52.893 --> 40:54.949
to an increase in in parasympathetic

40:54.949 --> 40:57.209
activity , right ? Which is that rest

40:57.219 --> 40:59.979
and digest period , re release stress

40:59.989 --> 41:02.211
and you're not at the fight or flight .

41:02.211 --> 41:04.322
And we see that a fire is better with

41:04.322 --> 41:06.100
coherence . So the occupational

41:06.100 --> 41:08.189
therapist did two screens . And then

41:08.199 --> 41:10.199
one of the things I wanted to bring

41:10.199 --> 41:12.310
home is that when we embarked on this

41:12.310 --> 41:14.366
proof of concept , we didn't want to

41:14.366 --> 41:16.643
put anything on this commander's plate .

41:16.643 --> 41:15.820
We wanted to work with it and be

41:15.830 --> 41:17.830
flexible with their , their company

41:17.830 --> 41:20.070
training calendar . So as you can see

41:20.080 --> 41:22.209
with the screen , the first first

41:22.219 --> 41:24.386
screen in July , we had 79 soldiers in

41:24.386 --> 41:26.608
the second screen in August , we had 68

41:26.608 --> 41:28.497
because at those periods of times

41:28.497 --> 41:30.608
during the day , people were just out

41:30.608 --> 41:32.719
on mission . So we wanted to gather a

41:32.719 --> 41:34.441
true understanding of , of not

41:34.441 --> 41:36.497
interrupting that battle rhythm . Um

41:36.497 --> 41:38.497
But over the course of , of July to

41:38.497 --> 41:40.520
August , we see a 22% increase in

41:40.530 --> 41:42.308
coherence . And that's with the

41:42.308 --> 41:44.530
education from the occupational therapy

41:44.530 --> 41:46.752
team on breathing techniques and mental

41:46.752 --> 41:48.863
imagery and reframing mindset , which

41:48.863 --> 41:50.760
is awesome . Next fly , please .

41:52.330 --> 41:53.997
Secondly , they looked at the

41:53.997 --> 41:55.997
generalized anxiety score , the G A

41:55.997 --> 41:58.163
seven and this is a self reported test

41:58.163 --> 42:00.330
focusing on the last two weeks of , of

42:00.330 --> 42:02.552
anxiety and it's grading from a 0 to 21

42:02.552 --> 42:05.949
scale . 0 to 9 being none to mild

42:05.959 --> 42:08.110
anxiety , 10 to 14 being moderate

42:08.120 --> 42:11.919
anxiety , 15 to 21 being severe . So we

42:11.929 --> 42:15.340
see that from a from July to August

42:15.350 --> 42:17.239
that we have some changes in this

42:17.239 --> 42:19.072
formation with anxiety . We have

42:19.072 --> 42:21.128
lowered anxiety , which is a big win

42:21.128 --> 42:21.070
across the board . We have a 4%

42:21.080 --> 42:24.659
decrease from moderate anxiety and a 1%

42:24.669 --> 42:27.030
decrease from severe , right . So we

42:27.040 --> 42:30.250
have more of that formation uh falling

42:30.260 --> 42:32.840
into the none or mild anxiety . And

42:32.850 --> 42:35.449
we're , we're lowering the amounts of ,

42:35.459 --> 42:37.626
of soldiers in that formation who have

42:37.626 --> 42:39.737
moderate or severe anxiety , which is

42:39.737 --> 42:41.737
important to get after next slide ,

42:41.737 --> 42:44.520
please . Lastly , we have sleep . So we

42:44.530 --> 42:46.586
wanna look at sleep a second way and

42:46.979 --> 42:49.689
the occupational therapy team did some

42:49.699 --> 42:51.921
education on best practices and setting

42:51.921 --> 42:54.080
conditions for good sleep . And over

42:54.090 --> 42:56.312
the course of of those two screens from

42:56.312 --> 42:58.534
July to August again , just reiterating

42:58.534 --> 43:00.534
the , the smarter base data that we

43:00.534 --> 43:02.646
have , which was succinct and great ,

43:02.646 --> 43:06.459
which is we have a 19% down from 34% of

43:06.469 --> 43:08.760
that formation reporting 5.5 hours or

43:08.770 --> 43:10.937
less sleep . And we have no percent of

43:10.937 --> 43:13.510
that formation getting under 3.5 hours

43:13.520 --> 43:15.500
of sleep , which is wild . So the

43:15.510 --> 43:17.621
majority of that formation is getting

43:17.621 --> 43:19.677
more than six hours , which again is

43:19.677 --> 43:21.677
increasing morale , it's increasing

43:21.677 --> 43:23.788
decision making and judgment skills ,

43:23.788 --> 43:26.121
all of those good things . So this is a ,

43:26.121 --> 43:28.288
an opportunity for us to , to come out

43:28.288 --> 43:30.343
and come back to the beginning and ,

43:30.343 --> 43:32.566
and close out on , on how we're getting

43:32.566 --> 43:34.677
after H two F in , in the old guard ,

43:34.677 --> 43:36.843
moving the needle . And it wouldn't be

43:36.843 --> 43:38.788
possible without the collaborative

43:38.788 --> 43:40.899
efforts and partners that we've built

43:40.899 --> 43:40.370
relationships with and asked for

43:40.379 --> 43:43.209
support . So ultimately , I hope that

43:43.909 --> 43:46.131
any of you who are non resource can see

43:46.131 --> 43:48.298
that it is possible to move the needle

43:48.298 --> 43:50.409
and get after H two F and improve the

43:50.409 --> 43:52.353
health wellness and performance of

43:52.353 --> 43:54.631
soldiers in your formation . Thank you .

43:57.050 --> 44:00.020
Thanks are posy . So hopefully those

44:00.030 --> 44:02.252
two presentations kind of give you guys

44:02.252 --> 44:04.363
examples of , you know , what can you

44:04.363 --> 44:06.419
do with your limited resources , but

44:06.419 --> 44:08.586
also if you have no resources at all .

44:08.586 --> 44:10.752
And I think uh that one example sir is

44:10.752 --> 44:10.540
really good . Uh you know , getting up

44:10.550 --> 44:12.550
to the sleep domain by tweaking the

44:12.550 --> 44:14.717
physical domain a little bit helps you

44:14.717 --> 44:16.883
have kind of access to kind of uh just

44:16.883 --> 44:18.828
a better idea of how we can impact

44:18.828 --> 44:20.883
across the board as we're , as we're

44:20.883 --> 44:23.050
moving forward with H two F . Um Let's

44:23.050 --> 44:25.161
go ahead and open up the chat for any

44:25.161 --> 44:27.328
questions that we might have . There .

44:27.328 --> 44:29.494
There was a question for Jared and the

44:29.494 --> 44:31.830
audience um is how utilizing the H two

44:31.840 --> 44:34.330
F integrators or the extenders , the ,

44:34.340 --> 44:36.750
the training of the NC OS and utilizing

44:36.760 --> 44:39.639
them how they use those at Riley .

44:41.830 --> 44:44.899
Right . So , um , we didn't have a lot

44:44.909 --> 44:47.242
of them in our footprint or still don't .

44:47.242 --> 44:50.100
So for those of when we do have those

44:50.110 --> 44:52.600
back when it was mftsmfts that we did

44:52.610 --> 44:54.443
have in the footprint , we would

44:54.443 --> 44:56.221
encourage them to come into our

44:56.221 --> 44:58.189
extender courses , build on that

44:58.199 --> 45:00.143
knowledge that the schoolhouse had

45:00.143 --> 45:02.199
already given them kind of refine it

45:02.199 --> 45:04.199
towards what those specific coaches

45:04.199 --> 45:06.366
were leaning into because all of our ,

45:06.366 --> 45:06.330
all coaches have their own little

45:06.340 --> 45:08.396
preference on how they like to , how

45:08.396 --> 45:10.451
they like to program and things like

45:10.451 --> 45:12.729
that . So kind of for lack of a better ,

45:12.729 --> 45:14.896
better term , reeducate them to how we

45:14.896 --> 45:16.729
want to do it that way . They're

45:16.729 --> 45:18.784
comfortable in reading our program ,

45:18.784 --> 45:20.673
reading our , our layout and then

45:20.673 --> 45:22.784
moving forward with that . So we , we

45:22.784 --> 45:24.951
would rely on them very heavily , um ,

45:24.951 --> 45:26.784
if they're present in the unit .

45:29.439 --> 45:31.661
Thanks J I believe we have one question

45:31.661 --> 45:34.520
in regards to funding . Yes , there was

45:34.530 --> 45:36.586
a , yeah , there was a funding about

45:36.586 --> 45:39.139
the , um , how H two F is funded ? Um ,

45:39.870 --> 45:43.040
pull it up . Yes , that's ok . I , I

45:43.050 --> 45:45.620
can , hey , this is , uh , uh , Colonel

45:45.629 --> 45:47.639
Falconberry . Uh , I guess I , I do

45:47.649 --> 45:49.538
want to start off by echoing what

45:49.538 --> 45:53.209
General Klein said , uh , you know ,

45:53.239 --> 45:55.429
the , the teammates on the net ,

45:55.439 --> 45:57.969
everyone speaking , uh , everyone in H

45:57.979 --> 46:00.257
two F has done such an exceptional job .

46:00.257 --> 46:02.257
So because of that uh we are seeing

46:02.257 --> 46:05.120
some phenomenal support from our army ,

46:05.129 --> 46:07.729
senior leaders . So H two F since its

46:07.739 --> 46:09.628
inception has been a very dynamic

46:09.628 --> 46:12.689
program uh dynamic in a way of how it's

46:12.699 --> 46:15.245
gonna have been rolled out , how uh how

46:15.254 --> 46:17.476
much funding we're gonna get , how many

46:17.476 --> 46:19.587
units we're gonna field uh per year .

46:19.587 --> 46:21.421
And as you know , uh just like a

46:21.421 --> 46:23.643
division one , we've had that accordion

46:23.643 --> 46:25.643
effect where uh it's go fast , slow

46:25.643 --> 46:27.754
down , go fast , slow down . So I , I

46:27.754 --> 46:29.754
can't disclose too much information

46:29.754 --> 46:32.754
right now , but uh the CG General Klein

46:32.764 --> 46:35.965
kind of hinted that uh we're , we're

46:35.975 --> 46:38.909
looking really good and um and uh we

46:38.919 --> 46:41.590
are , uh uh we got some good news that

46:41.600 --> 46:44.090
we're trying to digest to see uh what

46:44.100 --> 46:46.719
the future of H two F looks like uh on

46:46.729 --> 46:49.439
the funding site . Uh I will tell you

46:49.449 --> 46:51.590
that uh as I , as I discussed kind of

46:51.600 --> 46:53.822
the dynamic and that accordion effect ,

46:53.822 --> 46:56.179
we did see some of that happening . And

46:56.189 --> 46:58.889
in fact , initially , we were uh we

46:58.899 --> 47:01.010
were under this uh an end depth . The

47:01.010 --> 47:03.232
end depth is basically think of it as a

47:03.232 --> 47:05.399
bank account . We were in this massive

47:05.399 --> 47:07.621
end depth . So we're in this massive uh

47:07.621 --> 47:09.510
bank account that nobody could uh

47:09.510 --> 47:11.621
delineate what is H two F and what is

47:11.621 --> 47:14.510
utilized for H two F which is uh bad .

47:14.520 --> 47:17.360
Uh Now , thankfully in Fy 25 we're

47:17.370 --> 47:19.770
gonna be taken over our own M DE ,

47:19.790 --> 47:21.901
we're gonna be in our own end depth .

47:21.901 --> 47:23.901
Which what what that means is we'll

47:23.901 --> 47:25.901
have a lot more kind of command and

47:25.901 --> 47:28.123
control and visibility of where , where

47:28.123 --> 47:30.234
and how these funds get utilized . Uh

47:30.234 --> 47:32.234
And these funds are not uh that's a

47:32.234 --> 47:34.346
like a legal term , meaning that they

47:34.346 --> 47:37.080
can only be used for a specific entity

47:37.090 --> 47:39.201
alone , but they are earmarked . That

47:39.201 --> 47:41.423
means that somebody does have to answer

47:41.423 --> 47:43.534
if they're utilized in one way or the

47:43.534 --> 47:45.701
other , the majority of it . So we are

47:45.701 --> 47:47.868
definitely in the planning programming

47:47.868 --> 47:50.034
and budgeting and execution cycle . We

47:50.034 --> 47:52.146
always palm for this and the majority

47:52.146 --> 47:54.201
of our money uh goes to , to pay our

47:54.201 --> 47:57.989
fantastic uh civilians . Uh And that

47:58.000 --> 48:00.111
we don't see that that's army sending

48:00.111 --> 48:02.250
it out . Uh What we do see that what

48:02.260 --> 48:04.204
comes to trade off is paying these

48:04.204 --> 48:06.204
contracts . And then we also have a

48:06.204 --> 48:08.204
tremendous amount of budget that we

48:08.204 --> 48:10.149
have allocated for sustainment and

48:10.149 --> 48:12.316
equipment and then any other uh future

48:12.316 --> 48:14.570
initiatives . So the bluff is , yes ,

48:14.580 --> 48:17.830
we are definitely in the PB and C and

48:17.840 --> 48:21.350
bomb cycle . Uh Yes , we have

48:21.360 --> 48:23.360
tremendous support from army senior

48:23.360 --> 48:25.780
leaders and uh and , and things are

48:25.790 --> 48:28.159
looking good for us . But uh hopefully ,

48:28.169 --> 48:30.336
I know that was a verbose , but I just

48:30.336 --> 48:32.391
wanted to come over the top with and

48:32.391 --> 48:35.870
emphasize what the CG said and we got a

48:35.879 --> 48:38.046
hot mic , we got hot mic somewhere out

48:38.046 --> 48:40.157
there and we've got , we got one more

48:40.157 --> 48:42.323
que a clarifying question for Sergeant

48:42.323 --> 48:44.546
Posey that uh that you could repeat the

48:44.546 --> 48:46.768
uh timeline and what units received all

48:46.768 --> 48:48.546
the training , the size of your

48:48.546 --> 48:51.189
population . Yes . So the population of

48:51.199 --> 48:53.360
our , of our pilot program is one

48:53.370 --> 48:55.148
company . It's about 100 and 10

48:55.148 --> 48:57.370
personnel and the timeline of the proof

48:57.370 --> 48:59.426
of concept is 90 days and we're just

48:59.426 --> 49:01.592
over that 60 day mark . So our 90 days

49:01.592 --> 49:04.090
portion will be finished 21st October .
