01:43.033 --> 01:45.089
please welcome Major General Klein .

01:52.629 --> 01:55.730
How do you hear me clear ? Good . I was

01:55.739 --> 01:57.906
afraid you're gonna read the whole bio

01:57.906 --> 01:57.669
there and I was gonna just start

01:57.680 --> 01:59.791
walking up here . So I appreciate you

01:59.791 --> 02:02.089
cutting that off . Um Well , this place

02:02.099 --> 02:04.210
is alive with energy . I've been to a

02:04.210 --> 02:06.190
lot of conferences in my day , but

02:06.199 --> 02:08.199
normally they're not such a buzz of

02:08.199 --> 02:10.366
activity and electricity in the room .

02:10.366 --> 02:12.477
Uh And I guess it's fitting that this

02:12.477 --> 02:14.421
is the H two F symposium and we're

02:14.421 --> 02:16.477
filled with people that are probably

02:16.477 --> 02:18.421
pumped up on caffeine . They had a

02:18.421 --> 02:20.588
great workout this morning . We've got

02:20.588 --> 02:22.699
experts on the spiritual domain , the

02:22.699 --> 02:24.699
mental domain . So I'm excited that

02:24.699 --> 02:26.699
we're here for our , my third , our

02:26.699 --> 02:29.179
fourth annual H two F symposium . And

02:29.190 --> 02:31.412
for those of you that were with us last

02:31.412 --> 02:34.240
year in Fort Eustis , we might , might

02:34.250 --> 02:37.520
have violated a few fire codes . As I

02:37.529 --> 02:39.696
recall , it was standing room only and

02:39.696 --> 02:41.918
everybody was sitting in the aisles all

02:41.918 --> 02:43.918
over the place . And it was at that

02:43.918 --> 02:43.699
moment I said , ok , we got to up our

02:43.710 --> 02:45.543
game . We're gonna , we're gonna

02:45.543 --> 02:47.766
graduate and we're going to move out to

02:47.766 --> 02:49.988
a real convention center . So thanks to

02:49.988 --> 02:49.289
all of you that have traveled in from

02:49.300 --> 02:51.720
far distances to , to be a part of this

02:51.729 --> 02:54.229
uh , next two days , I'm fired up about

02:54.240 --> 02:56.351
it . I want to thank our major of the

02:56.351 --> 02:58.296
army . We got our major , the army

03:19.611 --> 03:21.778
peers of mine commanders and sergeants

03:21.778 --> 03:23.778
majors . Later on . You're going to

03:23.778 --> 03:26.000

03:26.000 --> 03:28.000

03:28.000 --> 03:30.056
kind of share the successes he's had

03:30.056 --> 03:32.111
down there . So thanks to all of you

03:32.111 --> 03:34.278

03:36.389 --> 03:38.556
the convention center here . Thanks to

03:38.556 --> 03:38.539
uh Jason Falconberry , our director

03:38.550 --> 03:40.439
here for H two F for putting this

03:40.439 --> 03:42.550
together . I mean , we basically have

03:42.550 --> 03:42.529
two squads . That's what we have within

03:42.539 --> 03:44.706
the H two F directorate and this is no

03:44.706 --> 03:46.872
small feat . So thanks to you and your

03:46.872 --> 03:46.869
team for putting this together .

03:51.660 --> 03:53.979
So we've got about 1000 registered uh

03:53.990 --> 03:56.101
attendees . I know there's still some

03:56.101 --> 03:58.268
that are probably in the back that are

03:58.268 --> 03:57.830
going through the long lines back there .

03:57.839 --> 04:00.300
We've got 55 vendors . I encourage all

04:00.309 --> 04:02.531
of you . We've built it in the schedule

04:02.531 --> 04:04.587
to go see the floor and see all of ,

04:04.587 --> 04:06.809
all of our , our industry partners that

04:06.809 --> 04:08.865
are here . Um We've got many brigade

04:08.865 --> 04:10.920
and battalion command teams here . I

04:10.920 --> 04:13.031
think we've got 12 countries that are

04:13.031 --> 04:15.198
represented here . Nine universities ,

04:15.198 --> 04:17.365
all services , all compos . I think we

04:17.365 --> 04:19.531
even have . Well , I know we got Coast

04:19.531 --> 04:19.429
Guard . I think we have the Space Force

04:19.440 --> 04:21.607
in here as well . So , thanks , thanks

04:21.607 --> 04:23.551
for joining us . All right , super

04:23.551 --> 04:25.773
agenda for the next couple of days . Uh

04:25.773 --> 04:27.884
And for the first time , we are going

04:27.884 --> 04:29.829
to recognize the , the top H two F

04:29.829 --> 04:33.790
programs um across the five domains

04:33.799 --> 04:36.021
coming from the operational force . And

04:36.021 --> 04:38.243
that's , that's a big , so our major of

04:38.243 --> 04:40.466
the army is gonna help award the uh the

04:40.466 --> 04:39.880
trophies over here . So we're gonna ,

04:39.929 --> 04:42.040
we're gonna have the best of the best

04:42.040 --> 04:44.207
of the best . I always think about men

04:44.207 --> 04:47.019
in black uh as we recognize our , our

04:47.059 --> 04:49.059
best in each one of the domains and

04:49.059 --> 04:51.779
then just like we did last year , uh

04:51.790 --> 04:54.309
You all be the first to see the latest

04:54.320 --> 04:56.431
return on investment or data that was

04:56.431 --> 04:58.487
compiled by Dr Andrew Thompson who's

04:58.487 --> 05:00.487
sitting up here in the front . Um I

05:00.487 --> 05:02.598
know that we had an embargoed article

05:02.598 --> 05:04.542
with the Army Times . I think it's

05:04.542 --> 05:06.764
supposed to go out sometime today if it

05:06.764 --> 05:06.459
isn't already , but you're going to see

05:06.470 --> 05:09.149
a much finer granularity . Um And then

05:09.160 --> 05:11.271
I'll share that with the vice and you

05:11.271 --> 05:13.382
saw a major of the army and a surgeon

05:13.382 --> 05:15.549
general as well . So we want that to ,

05:15.549 --> 05:15.459
to kind of get out there , I would

05:15.470 --> 05:17.359
encourage you , although you have

05:17.359 --> 05:19.470
silenced your cell phones . Um Please

05:19.470 --> 05:21.526
feel free to take pictures of any of

05:21.526 --> 05:23.192
the slides , take pictures of

05:23.192 --> 05:25.359
yourselves , take pictures out there ,

05:25.359 --> 05:25.010
take pictures out there , post the

05:25.019 --> 05:27.339
stuff all over the place and continue

05:27.350 --> 05:30.489
to promote this awesome initiative . Ok .

05:30.739 --> 05:32.739
So what I'd like to do briefly is I

05:32.739 --> 05:34.961
just want to kind of walk you through a

05:34.961 --> 05:37.183
quick recap of what we've done the last

05:37.183 --> 05:39.350
year , kind of catch everybody up . Um

05:39.350 --> 05:39.339
I'll give you a quick glimpse into the

05:39.350 --> 05:41.709
future and then I'm gonna introduce our

05:41.720 --> 05:44.570
keynote speaker . So it's clearly been

05:44.579 --> 05:46.523
exciting to watch this . It's been

05:46.523 --> 05:48.412
about 2.5 years that I've been in

05:48.412 --> 05:50.357
command . Um I was actually at the

05:50.357 --> 05:52.540
meeting when um they made the proposal

05:52.920 --> 05:55.429
uh for H two F in 2000 . It was up in

05:55.440 --> 05:57.273
the trade headquarters , General

05:57.273 --> 05:59.273
mcconville is the chief and you may

05:59.273 --> 06:01.273
have heard this before , but he was

06:01.273 --> 06:01.239
looking to see how he could fund it all

06:01.250 --> 06:03.399
in one year honestly . Um But there

06:03.410 --> 06:05.466
were gonna be challenges with hiring

06:05.466 --> 06:07.521
like every strength and conditioning

06:07.521 --> 06:06.750
coach and athletic trainer in the

06:06.760 --> 06:09.369
entire army in one day . And so we

06:09.380 --> 06:11.436
decided we needed to spread that out

06:11.436 --> 06:13.547
over time . And , but that just tells

06:13.547 --> 06:15.769
you the excitement that our army senior

06:15.769 --> 06:17.880
leaders had then , and that continues

06:17.880 --> 06:19.936
if not even more . So today with our

06:19.936 --> 06:22.158
senior leaders , um we started fielding

06:22.158 --> 06:24.269
the teams in 21 . We fielded 28 teams

06:24.269 --> 06:26.491
that first year and then by design , we

06:26.491 --> 06:28.713
were going to take a knee in fy 22 just

06:28.713 --> 06:30.936
to see how it's all working out . COVID

06:30.936 --> 06:33.540
helped us with taking a knee and uh we

06:33.549 --> 06:35.660
were pretty excited about it and then

06:35.660 --> 06:37.771
23 we resumed fielding the teams . We

06:37.771 --> 06:39.882
did 10 more and 23 and we're doing 10

06:39.882 --> 06:42.160
more this year . So by the end of this ,

06:42.160 --> 06:44.130
fy , we're going to have 50 of the

06:44.140 --> 06:46.829
eventual 100 and 11 teams fielded for

06:46.839 --> 06:49.230
the active component . I've been asked

06:49.239 --> 06:51.239
by senior leaders to take a look at

06:51.320 --> 06:53.542
what it would cost and how we might get

06:53.542 --> 06:55.542
after expanding that . So I'm doing

06:55.542 --> 06:57.653
that and I'll just leave it at that .

06:57.653 --> 06:59.876
And then a little bit later on , you're

06:59.876 --> 06:59.529
gonna hear from Major General Bob

06:59.540 --> 07:01.651
Harder and commands our major range .

07:01.651 --> 07:03.651
We're gonna talk a little bit about

07:03.651 --> 07:05.873
compo two , compo three and a couple of

07:05.873 --> 07:07.984
the pilots that they're running right

07:07.984 --> 07:10.207
now to finally now expand this into the

07:10.207 --> 07:10.059
reserve component . So you , I think

07:10.070 --> 07:12.181
they've got five pilots each that are

07:12.181 --> 07:14.348
getting fielded out there . As you can

07:14.348 --> 07:13.890
imagine , it's a little bit unique for

07:13.899 --> 07:16.010
the 54 states and territories and how

07:16.010 --> 07:18.121
you might approach that problem set .

07:18.121 --> 07:20.343
But they're working on that and I think

07:20.343 --> 07:20.170
they've secured funding that will start

07:20.179 --> 07:23.239
in fy 26 . In case you're not tracking ,

07:23.250 --> 07:25.309
we have revamped , renamed the old

07:25.320 --> 07:27.320
United States Army Physical Fitness

07:27.320 --> 07:29.542
School . It's now the H two F Academy ,

07:29.542 --> 07:31.598
uh with all the appropriate branding

07:31.598 --> 07:33.709
and everything else . Uh , and we are

07:33.709 --> 07:35.931
producing and have been producing for a

07:35.931 --> 07:35.230
little while now , the H two F

07:35.239 --> 07:37.183
integrator , the artist , formerly

07:37.183 --> 07:39.295
known as the master fitness trainer ,

07:39.295 --> 07:41.572
but it's a much more robust individual .

07:41.572 --> 07:43.795
I would highly encourage you to send as

07:43.795 --> 07:45.850
many soldiers as you want , get them

07:45.850 --> 07:48.183
into Atar S and get them into the queue .

07:48.183 --> 07:50.350
And then we are also still working and

07:50.350 --> 07:52.572
getting closer on the H two F advisor .

07:52.572 --> 07:54.683
This is the 8 to 12 week curriculum .

07:54.683 --> 07:54.500
That's much more comprehensive that

07:54.510 --> 07:57.260
makes a soldier a little more um

07:57.269 --> 07:59.325
conversant in all five domains . And

07:59.325 --> 08:01.547
this way , you also have a soldier that

08:01.547 --> 08:03.658
can deploy with you and then help you

08:03.658 --> 08:05.602
no matter where you go . So that's

08:05.602 --> 08:05.410
great work that's being done . And if

08:05.420 --> 08:07.531
you haven't met Colonel Ken Dwyer , I

08:07.531 --> 08:09.587
think here he is . Ok . I got bright

08:09.587 --> 08:11.587
lights on . But Ken Dwyer , a great

08:11.587 --> 08:11.369
teammate , he leads the leader training

08:11.380 --> 08:13.547
brigade and he works side by side with

08:13.547 --> 08:15.713
our H two F director at all down there

08:15.713 --> 08:17.936
at Fort Jackson , there's General Kelly

08:17.936 --> 08:20.047
uh to make that a reality but uh just

08:20.047 --> 08:22.269
super work being done by that team down

08:22.269 --> 08:25.399
there . Um We now have day two of the

08:25.410 --> 08:28.339
army preman course . That's a big deal ,

08:28.920 --> 08:30.940
um an entire day . And so that's

08:30.950 --> 08:33.219
another uh statement by our senior

08:33.229 --> 08:35.285
leaders on how important this is . I

08:35.285 --> 08:37.340
will share with you in a former life

08:37.340 --> 08:39.507
when I was the exo to the army G three

08:39.507 --> 08:41.562
and two and three star generals were

08:41.562 --> 08:43.729
coming in and saying , hey , I want to

08:43.729 --> 08:45.729
get one hour at the preman course ,

08:45.729 --> 08:47.729
just one hour . And at the time the

08:47.729 --> 08:49.896
gatekeeper was uh general Joe Anderson

08:49.896 --> 08:52.007
who I love dearly . And uh you had to

08:52.007 --> 08:54.007
be very convincing to get something

08:54.007 --> 08:56.118
past General Anderson if it was going

08:56.118 --> 08:58.285
to come to PC C at the time . Really ,

08:58.285 --> 09:00.507
it was General Millie's program . So um

09:00.507 --> 09:02.729
it was , it was a hard sell . We got an

09:02.729 --> 09:04.840
entire day now . So this is , this is

09:04.840 --> 09:06.562
big because we are able to now

09:06.562 --> 09:06.489
influence every future battalion and

09:06.500 --> 09:09.260
brigade command team and we kicked off

09:09.270 --> 09:12.979
the first full H two F day . Last week ,

09:12.989 --> 09:15.156
Surgeon General was with me , chief of

09:15.156 --> 09:17.322
chaplains , with , with , with me . Um

09:17.322 --> 09:19.656
started at eight o'clock in the morning ,

09:19.656 --> 09:21.767
individuals all come in . This is 377

09:21.767 --> 09:21.390
of them by the way . And we'll do this

09:21.400 --> 09:23.511
seven times a year and they showed up

09:23.511 --> 09:25.567
in their PTS and they get , they get

09:25.567 --> 09:27.567
the deep dive in all five domains .

09:27.567 --> 09:29.678
They do a self assessment on all five

09:29.678 --> 09:31.956
domains . Um It's really , really good ,

09:31.956 --> 09:31.080
you're going to hear more about that ,

09:31.090 --> 09:33.820
I think later on . Um But I'm glad to

09:33.830 --> 09:35.997
say that we are influencing the future

09:35.997 --> 09:38.052
leaders . And as for the rest of the

09:38.052 --> 09:40.108
army's education on H two F over the

09:40.108 --> 09:42.163
last year , we've made just a ton of

09:42.163 --> 09:44.330
progress as it relates to all forms of

09:44.330 --> 09:46.441
PM E . You're going to see that later

09:46.441 --> 09:46.130
on in a chart that comes up on where

09:46.140 --> 09:48.196
we've , where we've gone with that .

09:48.196 --> 09:50.418
We've pretty much doubled down over the

09:50.418 --> 09:52.473
last year and we are , I think we're

09:52.473 --> 09:54.696
planning on wrapping that up about next

09:54.696 --> 09:53.830
year . So we should have , we should

09:53.840 --> 09:55.951
have it all done for PM E . So that's

09:55.951 --> 09:58.440
good . That's all ncoas , that's all ,

09:59.090 --> 10:01.739
that's everything . So to include ASAP ,

10:01.750 --> 10:03.750
we'll get it in there eventually as

10:03.750 --> 10:07.169
well . Um H two F is now the proponent

10:07.179 --> 10:09.109
for P three T for pregnancy and

10:09.119 --> 10:11.799
postpartum . And uh I would encourage

10:11.809 --> 10:14.039
you to visit Lieutenant Colonel Najera

10:14.159 --> 10:16.326
and Captain Mayo that are out there on

10:16.326 --> 10:18.548
the booth . Uh They'll be talking about

10:18.548 --> 10:20.659
what we're doing in that space . This

10:20.659 --> 10:20.090
was something frankly that was

10:20.099 --> 10:22.377
neglected for the last couple of years .

10:22.500 --> 10:25.020
Um And so we , we , with an H two F ,

10:25.030 --> 10:27.363
it made sense to come to us . And so we ,

10:27.363 --> 10:29.474
we scooped it up , we put it into our

10:29.474 --> 10:31.474
doctrine . We hired uh professional

10:31.474 --> 10:33.641
trainers , we've signed up to train 15

10:33.641 --> 10:35.641
installations across the globe this

10:35.641 --> 10:37.863
year and we have thus far trained seven

10:37.863 --> 10:39.697
installations on their program ,

10:39.697 --> 10:41.863
certifying their leaders to , to teach

10:41.863 --> 10:44.030
P three t so kudos to the team and the

10:44.030 --> 10:46.086
great work that they've done there .

10:46.086 --> 10:48.308
And along with that , we are also doing

10:48.308 --> 10:48.099
tactical mobility and recovery

10:48.109 --> 10:50.729
mindfulness . Some might recognize that

10:50.739 --> 10:52.739
as yoga , yoga and mindfulness , we

10:52.739 --> 10:54.739
just gave it a little more tactical

10:54.739 --> 10:57.072
flair because sometimes yoga , you know ,

10:57.072 --> 10:59.183
for drill sergeants that are a little

10:59.183 --> 11:01.239
bit older , they say really . But if

11:01.239 --> 11:02.961
you're older , like some of us

11:02.961 --> 11:05.183
flexibility is a good thing . Uh And so

11:05.183 --> 11:07.350
we have put that into our doctrine and

11:07.350 --> 11:09.350
now we push that as well . Um Great

11:09.350 --> 11:12.520
initiative and our H two F website ,

11:12.679 --> 11:14.679
it's cack enabled now , but we have

11:14.679 --> 11:16.679
finally released it . So Lieutenant

11:16.679 --> 11:18.901
Colonel Randy ready wherever you at and

11:18.901 --> 11:21.012
his team just fantastic work over the

11:21.012 --> 11:23.123
last six months to a year getting our

11:23.123 --> 11:25.235
website put together . That's an army

11:25.235 --> 11:27.179
sponsored website . So this is not

11:27.179 --> 11:29.179
something I'm baking in my basement

11:29.179 --> 11:30.846
here at CIMT . Um It's a very

11:30.846 --> 11:33.012
professional uh website and it has all

11:33.012 --> 11:35.235
the resources that are available to you

11:35.235 --> 11:34.840
and it'll just continue to expand . So

11:34.849 --> 11:36.905
you can click on any domain and deep

11:36.905 --> 11:39.016
dive and go into videos and all kinds

11:39.016 --> 11:41.182
of stuff . So , in fact , our major of

11:41.182 --> 11:41.049
the army just was kind enough to do a

11:41.059 --> 11:43.115
video just prior to coming in here .

11:43.115 --> 11:45.226
And so here very soon you'll see your

11:45.226 --> 11:47.281
video probably on that website and ,

11:47.281 --> 11:49.615
and pushing the message that you shared .

11:49.615 --> 11:51.837
The last thing I want to share in terms

11:51.837 --> 11:51.030
of kind of what we're doing now and

11:51.039 --> 11:53.150
what we've done over the last year is

11:53.150 --> 11:55.150
that we are now partnered with Pe O

11:55.150 --> 11:58.169
soldier who so we have a PE O as well .

11:58.599 --> 12:00.543
A good friend of mine , Lieutenant

12:00.543 --> 12:02.599
General Rob Collins , former college

12:02.599 --> 12:04.655
roommate of mine for four years , uh

12:04.655 --> 12:06.877
ensured that we were going to get the ,

12:06.877 --> 12:08.932
the best pe O for this business . We

12:08.932 --> 12:11.043
are in the people business for sure .

12:11.043 --> 12:10.739
So pe O soldiers providing our earth

12:10.750 --> 12:12.917
site and where that's really important

12:12.917 --> 12:14.694
is as we look toward continuous

12:14.694 --> 12:16.750
transformation uh within H two F and

12:16.750 --> 12:18.909
the material solutions and as we look

12:18.919 --> 12:20.975
to the future . So one of the larger

12:20.975 --> 12:23.197
initiatives that we're still working is

12:23.197 --> 12:25.419
the H two F data management system . So

12:25.419 --> 12:27.419
again , Doctor Andrew Thompson here

12:27.419 --> 12:26.619
taking the lead from within the

12:26.630 --> 12:28.852
proponent , we're still the proponent .

12:28.852 --> 12:31.130
We just have a pe O to help , you know ,

12:31.130 --> 12:31.090
work through the wickets of the

12:31.099 --> 12:33.989
acquisition process . And so , um we're

12:34.000 --> 12:36.056
working that I think it's absolutely

12:36.056 --> 12:38.111
critical . I've shared that I have a

12:38.111 --> 12:40.333
monthly touch point now with the vice .

12:40.333 --> 12:42.389
Um So if , if we want to expand this

12:42.389 --> 12:44.444
system , we've got to have a , if we

12:44.444 --> 12:46.611
want to expand H two F , this is a key

12:46.611 --> 12:48.611
component and this is also where we

12:48.611 --> 12:50.889
need help from industry . Um Right now ,

12:50.889 --> 12:53.111
we are working a pilot that is going to

12:53.111 --> 12:56.669
inform uh where we go with a data

12:56.679 --> 12:58.901
management system and what I'm speaking

12:58.901 --> 13:00.679
to is an application and a data

13:00.679 --> 13:02.901
management system . Um , it was an ND A

13:02.901 --> 13:05.123
directed pilot . We're going to do that

13:05.123 --> 13:07.235
starting down at Fort Mo Georgia this

13:07.235 --> 13:09.401
fall . Um , in this case , we actually

13:09.401 --> 13:11.401
did purchase a variety of wearables

13:11.401 --> 13:13.346
that we are going to put on OS A T

13:13.346 --> 13:15.512
soldiers and we're going to track them

13:15.512 --> 13:15.359
as they go through their 20 week , 22

13:15.369 --> 13:17.536
weeks of O SI T . And then we're going

13:17.536 --> 13:19.702
to compare it against the , you know ,

13:19.702 --> 13:19.280
units that aren't equipped with that .

13:19.679 --> 13:21.880
Um We have a , we finally have an

13:21.890 --> 13:24.112
interim authority to operate , which is

13:24.112 --> 13:26.223
very exciting . Um And we're going to

13:26.223 --> 13:28.690
do that with Coach B Plus and so that

13:28.700 --> 13:30.811
will inform a lot when we come out of

13:30.811 --> 13:33.929
that pilot . We're going to follow it

13:33.940 --> 13:36.162
up at , at Fort Jackson and we're going

13:36.162 --> 13:38.384
to do another one with basic training .

13:38.384 --> 13:40.607
But then it's at that point , we've got

13:40.607 --> 13:40.570
to really nail down the requirement so

13:40.580 --> 13:42.802
we can have our teammates up there . Pe

13:42.802 --> 13:44.413
O soldiers start to work the

13:44.413 --> 13:46.636
acquisition process for what will be an

13:46.636 --> 13:49.799
army solution for a app and a data

13:49.809 --> 13:52.260
management system . Um We are a company

13:52.270 --> 13:54.437
agnostic , but we know what it is that

13:54.437 --> 13:57.020
we need and we want something that is

13:57.030 --> 14:00.119
going to be able to um allow a soldier

14:00.130 --> 14:03.210
to see themselves a unit commander to

14:03.219 --> 14:05.386
see the unit at the aggregated level .

14:05.386 --> 14:07.552
And we want the army to be able to use

14:07.552 --> 14:09.719
the data to inform larger decisions at

14:09.719 --> 14:11.775
the army level . Um It needs to be ,

14:11.775 --> 14:13.941
you know , real time data . What we're

14:13.941 --> 14:15.719
having to do right now is quite

14:15.719 --> 14:17.719
laborious in terms of compiling our

14:17.719 --> 14:20.299
return on investment . Um And so it's ,

14:20.309 --> 14:22.365
this is really , really critical . I

14:22.365 --> 14:24.476
would also offer that in order for us

14:24.476 --> 14:26.698
to expand and accelerate H two F . It's

14:26.698 --> 14:28.809
one thing for us to field these teams

14:28.809 --> 14:28.359
that are only going to take care of a

14:28.369 --> 14:30.425
portion of the active component when

14:30.425 --> 14:32.591
it's all said and done as it currently

14:32.591 --> 14:34.702
sits , that only takes care of 47% of

14:34.702 --> 14:34.419
the active duty after we field 100 and

14:34.429 --> 14:36.429
11 teams . But we got to get to the

14:36.429 --> 14:38.540
rest of the army , hence the interest

14:38.540 --> 14:40.596
by the senior leaders to see what it

14:40.596 --> 14:42.707
would take to expand it . But then we

14:42.707 --> 14:44.762
want to expand it in compo two compo

14:44.762 --> 14:44.469
three . Despite the pilots that they're

14:44.479 --> 14:46.423
doing and funding that they've got

14:46.423 --> 14:48.646
coming and consider the potential . All

14:48.646 --> 14:50.757
right , just consider the potential .

14:50.757 --> 14:52.923
If , depending on the business model ,

14:52.923 --> 14:55.146
depending on the security requirement ,

14:55.146 --> 14:57.312
we could expand this to our families ,

14:57.312 --> 14:59.640
our civilian teammates and our soldiers

14:59.650 --> 15:02.890
for life that would drive down medical

15:02.900 --> 15:05.530
costs , va costs . The return on

15:05.539 --> 15:08.280
investment potential is gigantic . And

15:08.289 --> 15:10.345
that's what we want for our soldiers

15:10.409 --> 15:12.576
and that's what we want for all of our

15:12.576 --> 15:14.687
teammates . So that's the potential .

15:14.900 --> 15:17.122
It's all precision , but that's I think

15:17.122 --> 15:19.178
that's the vision that we should all

15:19.178 --> 15:21.344
strive towards as we look at a app and

15:21.344 --> 15:23.456
a data management system . Imagine if

15:23.456 --> 15:25.567
you're a recruiter , you are in cadet

15:25.567 --> 15:27.900
command , you're an LNO in some country ,

15:27.900 --> 15:27.489
you should be able to pull up on your

15:27.500 --> 15:29.722
phone and see what you want to do for a

15:29.722 --> 15:31.889
workout video . Examples of it . Track

15:31.889 --> 15:34.000
your progress , the whole enchilada .

15:34.000 --> 15:36.222
All right . So that's , that's where we

15:36.222 --> 15:35.869
want to go and we want to be able to

15:36.159 --> 15:38.609
move on that as quickly as we can . I

15:38.619 --> 15:40.500
will plug Burger General Chris

15:40.510 --> 15:43.140
Schneider , who is the pe O uh a PE O

15:43.150 --> 15:45.770
soldier and uh Mr Tony Lynn , who is

15:45.780 --> 15:47.891
our program manager . If I don't know

15:47.891 --> 15:50.002
what representation we have from pe O

15:50.002 --> 15:52.224
here , but I mentioned their names . So

15:52.224 --> 15:52.059
you don't call my phone , you call

15:52.070 --> 15:54.292
their phone because they will also have

15:54.292 --> 15:56.292
oversight of all of our contracts .

15:56.469 --> 16:00.210
There's a hand right there . Ok .

16:00.219 --> 16:02.309
Yes . Um They have oversight of our

16:02.320 --> 16:05.739
contracting when H two F started , it

16:05.750 --> 16:07.639
was an occupational therapist , a

16:07.639 --> 16:09.639
physical therapist and a registered

16:09.639 --> 16:11.583
dietitian that drafted the largest

16:11.583 --> 16:13.639
personnel contract in the history of

16:13.639 --> 16:16.309
trade and they did great work . But my

16:16.320 --> 16:19.229
God , we need pe O soldier . All right .

16:19.469 --> 16:21.469
Um Just one piece on doctrine . Um

16:21.479 --> 16:23.701
We're , we , we , we got the capability

16:23.701 --> 16:25.812
to do the rapid revisions . Now on FM

16:25.812 --> 16:27.923
7-22 and here soon we're going to put

16:27.923 --> 16:31.010
out a TP 7-22 0.03 . So you already got

16:31.020 --> 16:32.964
the , the 01 , the 02 , that's all

16:32.964 --> 16:35.187
things related . AC FT and everything .
