WEBVTT

00:00.319 --> 00:02.329
Good morning AUSA . We are proud to

00:02.329 --> 00:04.840
welcome General Dave Francis from the

00:04.840 --> 00:06.896
Center for Initial Military Training

00:07.000 --> 00:09.479
and his panel will presenting holistic

00:09.479 --> 00:11.590
health and fitness , optimizing human

00:11.590 --> 00:13.868
performance for the modern battlefield .

00:17.969 --> 00:20.025
Thank you very much . Well , hey , I

00:20.025 --> 00:22.639
know that on , on day 3 of AUSA , uh ,

00:22.729 --> 00:24.785
we have the most resilient fit crowd

00:24.785 --> 00:27.059
right here at the first Warriors corner

00:27.059 --> 00:28.948
of the day . So thank you all for

00:28.948 --> 00:31.489
coming because we are absolutely

00:31.489 --> 00:33.810
excited and driven by the topic we're

00:33.810 --> 00:36.069
gonna talk about today , which is H2F .

00:36.569 --> 00:38.680
We did a CMF panel last year with the

00:38.680 --> 00:41.369
vice and what we want to do today is

00:41.369 --> 00:43.702
give you an update on where we are with ,

00:43.702 --> 00:46.036
with field this incredible program , uh .

00:47.020 --> 00:50.659
H2F is the largest human optimization

00:50.659 --> 00:52.770
performance optimization program ever

00:52.770 --> 00:55.099
fielded . Uh , we will be the largest

00:55.099 --> 00:57.210
employer of strength and conditioning

00:57.210 --> 00:59.432
coaches in the United States of America

00:59.432 --> 01:01.155
here pretty soon , and it's an

01:01.155 --> 01:03.155
investment in our soldiers that the

01:03.155 --> 01:05.210
Army's making every single day , our

01:05.210 --> 01:07.377
most important weapons system . And so

01:07.377 --> 01:09.488
what we'd like to do is is share with

01:09.488 --> 01:11.655
you , uh , where we are in the process

01:11.655 --> 01:13.599
here , uh , because we think it is

01:13.599 --> 01:15.543
significant and it is changing the

01:15.543 --> 01:18.349
culture of our army for the better . So

01:18.349 --> 01:21.110
the bottom line is , uh , we've been

01:21.110 --> 01:23.443
accelerated now about 3 different times .

01:23.510 --> 01:25.732
You know , when , when H2F started , we

01:25.732 --> 01:28.180
were gonna field 111 combat brigades

01:28.510 --> 01:31.110
with human performance teams . And

01:31.110 --> 01:33.166
after we started and got the initial

01:33.166 --> 01:35.440
return on investment . Uh , the Army

01:35.440 --> 01:38.160
leadership decided it was so good that

01:38.160 --> 01:40.160
not only were we gonna do those 111

01:40.160 --> 01:42.327
brigades , but we're going to feel the

01:42.327 --> 01:44.382
entire army to include the guard and

01:44.382 --> 01:47.440
reserve with H2F teams to , to change

01:47.440 --> 01:50.099
the culture of our army . So , uh ,

01:50.120 --> 01:52.120
that , that went from 111 , we'll ,

01:52.160 --> 01:55.099
we'll eventually field the 183 teams .

01:55.319 --> 01:57.263
And at the end , we're at 71 teams

01:57.263 --> 01:59.750
fielded today . And by the end of this

01:59.750 --> 02:01.870
fiscal year , we'll be up to 91 of

02:01.870 --> 02:05.260
those teams and accelerating as we go

02:05.510 --> 02:07.779
to get this capability out to our force

02:07.779 --> 02:11.190
as fast as we possibly can . This year

02:11.399 --> 02:13.566
we'll do , and you're gonna hear about

02:13.566 --> 02:15.677
it today , but we'll do 6 pilots with

02:15.677 --> 02:17.788
the National Guard and Reserve , uh ,

02:17.788 --> 02:19.788
that will , will figure out how the

02:19.788 --> 02:21.677
what the best way to deliver this

02:21.677 --> 02:23.732
capability to our garden reserve who

02:23.732 --> 02:25.955
have dispersed formations over multiple

02:25.955 --> 02:28.288
states so it can't be done the same way ,

02:28.288 --> 02:30.399
but we're gonna figure out how to get

02:30.399 --> 02:32.232
this capability to our guard and

02:32.232 --> 02:34.343
reservists as well . We're also gonna

02:34.343 --> 02:36.759
feel here in the 2nd quarter , uh , the

02:36.759 --> 02:38.720
holistic health and fitness data

02:38.720 --> 02:41.000
management system . And this is gonna

02:41.000 --> 02:43.509
help , uh , this is gonna help us , uh ,

02:43.520 --> 02:45.639
collect the data , uh , that we're

02:45.639 --> 02:47.919
doing every day with our , with our H2F

02:47.919 --> 02:50.197
teams and our leaders out in the field .

02:50.199 --> 02:52.366
Uh , this is , this is , these are the

02:52.366 --> 02:54.477
leaders that help us , uh , train the

02:54.477 --> 02:56.643
trainers . They help train our NCOs on

02:56.643 --> 02:58.960
how to do movements and other things

02:58.960 --> 03:01.127
properly so that they can train , they

03:01.127 --> 03:03.919
can train their soldiers properly . And ,

03:03.990 --> 03:06.268
and we're gonna , we're gonna see that ,

03:06.268 --> 03:08.323
uh , proliferate over the next , you

03:08.323 --> 03:10.268
know , as , as we continue to fill

03:10.268 --> 03:12.212
these teams . Now we've got a good

03:12.212 --> 03:14.323
problem here too as we've accelerated

03:14.323 --> 03:16.157
this , we're running into , uh ,

03:16.157 --> 03:18.268
facilities . So we , we are on a huge

03:18.268 --> 03:20.434
push , uh , to generate facilities for

03:20.434 --> 03:22.657
every one of these H2F teams and that's

03:22.657 --> 03:24.768
gonna be a combination of , of , uh ,

03:24.768 --> 03:26.546
uh , revamping current existing

03:26.546 --> 03:28.712
facilities . Into H2F facilities , new

03:28.712 --> 03:31.255
build of some , and a combination of of

03:31.255 --> 03:33.294
others , but the idea is that we we

03:33.294 --> 03:35.815
have a space contained by brigade and

03:35.815 --> 03:38.895
by team that houses the entire H2F

03:38.895 --> 03:41.062
capability and all that it brings to a

03:41.062 --> 03:44.134
unit to help do all those things . Now

03:44.134 --> 03:46.078
when we started this , we had some

03:46.078 --> 03:48.134
incredible return on investment data

03:48.134 --> 03:50.301
that that caused our senior leaders to

03:50.301 --> 03:52.078
accelerate this program . We're

03:52.078 --> 03:54.023
continuing in in coordination with

03:54.023 --> 03:57.070
Euserium . Uh , that up at Natick to

03:57.070 --> 03:59.292
help us collect data and as we continue

03:59.292 --> 04:01.550
to collect data , we're continuing to

04:01.550 --> 04:04.110
see the effect of these H2F teams out

04:04.110 --> 04:06.443
in our units . For those equipped units ,

04:06.443 --> 04:08.554
we're scoring higher on PT tests . We

04:08.554 --> 04:10.666
have lower musculoskeletal injuries .

04:10.666 --> 04:12.929
We have a , uh . A less amount of time

04:12.929 --> 04:15.151
that soldiers are spending on profile .

04:15.300 --> 04:17.220
All of this designed to enhance

04:17.220 --> 04:19.540
lethality , to enhance the readiness of

04:19.540 --> 04:22.179
our formations out there by investing

04:22.179 --> 04:24.346
in our most important weapons system ,

04:24.346 --> 04:26.700
our soldiers , OK ? So the , the , the

04:26.700 --> 04:29.040
data management system is coming , uh ,

04:29.179 --> 04:31.512
and the facilities are coming and we're ,

04:31.512 --> 04:33.735
we're doing , we're going as rapidly as

04:33.735 --> 04:35.846
we can . And the last thing I'll just

04:35.846 --> 04:37.769
say before I I introduce our H2F

04:37.769 --> 04:39.880
director who will introduce our panel

04:39.970 --> 04:43.290
is that uh we are going fast and in

04:43.290 --> 04:45.630
that process we are we are continually

04:45.630 --> 04:47.741
pulling feedback from the field on on

04:47.741 --> 04:49.963
what we need to adjust , how we need to

04:49.963 --> 04:51.963
make this better and different TTPs

04:51.963 --> 04:54.130
that are being used across the board .

04:54.130 --> 04:56.352
We did not want to get too prescriptive

04:56.352 --> 04:58.297
with this program . Uh , but allow

04:58.297 --> 05:00.630
commanders to , based on the , you know ,

05:00.630 --> 05:02.630
the , the deployment cycle of their

05:02.630 --> 05:04.630
unit , determine how best to employ

05:04.630 --> 05:06.741
this capability and it's resulting in

05:06.741 --> 05:08.908
incredible , uh , results for our army

05:08.908 --> 05:11.130
and , uh , we're gonna continue to feel

05:11.130 --> 05:13.297
this as fast as we possibly can . Uh ,

05:13.297 --> 05:15.352
across the army to include the guard

05:15.352 --> 05:17.463
and reserve and , and study how to do

05:17.463 --> 05:19.686
that and we'll continue to collect data

05:19.686 --> 05:21.408
on how this is actually , uh ,

05:21.408 --> 05:23.463
increasing the readiness of our army

05:23.463 --> 05:25.630
and how it's , it's enhancing uh every

05:25.630 --> 05:27.852
one of our soldiers from the individual

05:27.852 --> 05:30.019
level all the way up to the collective

05:30.019 --> 05:32.019
level . So with that I'm gonna turn

05:32.019 --> 05:34.297
this over to , uh , Colonel Jay Morgan ,

05:34.297 --> 05:36.352
who is our H2F director to introduce

05:36.352 --> 05:38.519
our panel , and we look forward to all

05:38.519 --> 05:38.119
of your questions today . Thank you

05:38.119 --> 05:41.880
very much . Hey , thank you ,

05:42.010 --> 05:43.899
thank you , sir , and , uh , good

05:43.899 --> 05:46.121
morning to everybody . I , I think what

05:46.121 --> 05:48.399
what General Francis laid out there is ,

05:48.399 --> 05:50.177
is very clear . This is an Army

05:50.177 --> 05:52.288
priority and the army is making great

05:52.288 --> 05:54.454
investments in it because we're seeing

05:54.454 --> 05:56.621
incredible return on investment in the

05:56.621 --> 05:58.288
physicality and the , and the

05:58.288 --> 06:00.510
performance of our soldiers . Now , now

06:00.510 --> 06:02.510
these are not just , uh . H2F level

06:02.510 --> 06:04.732
talking points . Uh , we recently did a

06:04.732 --> 06:06.677
survey with our fielded , uh , H2F

06:06.677 --> 06:08.566
teams , the battalion and brigade

06:08.566 --> 06:12.190
command teams . 86% reported direct

06:12.190 --> 06:14.134
mission relevance from their human

06:14.134 --> 06:16.246
performance team , their H2F system ,

06:16.246 --> 06:18.301
to their mission . And an additional

06:18.301 --> 06:21.010
87% reported that they're seeing

06:21.010 --> 06:23.260
improvements , holistic improvements

06:23.260 --> 06:25.371
across the fitness and performance of

06:25.371 --> 06:27.593
their soldiers . Those , that's , those

06:27.593 --> 06:29.816
are great numbers , but that's , that's

06:29.816 --> 06:29.700
not 100% , and that's , that's our goal .

06:30.059 --> 06:32.281
Um , so what we're gonna have our , our

06:32.281 --> 06:34.448
great panel up here talk across.LPF is

06:34.448 --> 06:36.281
how we're working to improve our

06:36.281 --> 06:38.059
systems across the H2F system ,

06:38.109 --> 06:40.390
equipment , facilities , and subject

06:40.390 --> 06:42.557
matter expertise so we can continue to

06:42.557 --> 06:44.630
move that needle faster and , and

06:44.630 --> 06:47.230
expanding it greater across our total

06:47.230 --> 06:49.397
army . So these are all , uh , members

06:49.397 --> 06:51.397
from , from the H2F team within the

06:51.397 --> 06:53.286
center of military , uh , initial

06:53.286 --> 06:55.452
military training . Uh , we'll go from

06:55.452 --> 06:57.341
left to left to right . We've got

06:57.341 --> 06:59.452
Lieutenant Colonel John Lesher . He's

06:59.452 --> 06:59.429
gonna talk , uh , some of the

06:59.429 --> 07:01.707
acceleration initiatives we have going .

07:01.709 --> 07:04.309
Ser First Class Rice will talk to our

07:04.309 --> 07:06.476
National Guard and reserve pilots that

07:06.476 --> 07:08.529
were fielding here in 26 . So Major

07:08.529 --> 07:10.696
Richards is gonna talk our PME and our

07:10.696 --> 07:12.418
schooling , um , and how we're

07:12.418 --> 07:14.418
integrated H2F is integrated across

07:14.418 --> 07:16.609
schools and across our PMA system .

07:17.109 --> 07:19.165
Chaplain Matt McCraney will talk our

07:19.165 --> 07:21.053
spiritual fitness and some of the

07:21.053 --> 07:23.165
initiatives , uh , that we have going

07:23.165 --> 07:22.890
in that , that lane . And then

07:22.890 --> 07:24.834
Lieutenant Colonel Chance Smith is

07:24.834 --> 07:27.049
going to talk the H2F , uh , H2F data

07:27.049 --> 07:28.993
management system , the Lieutenant

07:28.993 --> 07:31.160
General Francis , uh , mentioned . Now

07:31.160 --> 07:33.327
I know our time is short , so I will ,

07:33.327 --> 07:35.382
I will let them go , but if we don't

07:35.382 --> 07:35.010
have , if we don't scratch the itch

07:35.010 --> 07:37.177
today and if we can't get to the level

07:37.177 --> 07:39.288
of detail you want , I invite you all

07:39.288 --> 07:41.232
to the H2F symposium . It's in the

07:41.232 --> 07:43.454
bottom left corner of the screen . It's

07:43.454 --> 07:45.589
13 to 14 May in Hampton Roads , uh ,

07:45.790 --> 07:48.012
websites down there , please register .

07:48.012 --> 07:50.179
I think it's gonna be an awesome venue

07:50.179 --> 07:52.179
to get together H2F practitioners ,

07:52.179 --> 07:54.346
command teams , industries so we can ,

07:54.346 --> 07:54.109
we can have even more in depth

07:54.109 --> 07:56.331
conversations . So , uh , we'll let the

07:56.331 --> 07:58.553
panel go and then we'll , we'll open it

07:58.553 --> 07:58.440
up to questions from the field , but

07:58.440 --> 08:00.662
look forward to taking your questions ,

08:00.662 --> 08:02.440
John . Good morning everybody .

08:02.440 --> 08:04.679
Lieutenant Colonel John Lescher . So in

08:04.679 --> 08:06.512
addition to what General Francis

08:06.512 --> 08:08.235
already talked about as far as

08:08.235 --> 08:10.401
acceleration . Um , we're also looking

08:10.401 --> 08:12.512
at expanding and so those initial 111

08:12.512 --> 08:14.623
brigades were originally scheduled to

08:14.623 --> 08:17.170
be done by FY 30 , will be done by FY27

08:17.170 --> 08:19.170
now and once we finish that , the

08:19.170 --> 08:20.890
expansion is gonna include an

08:20.890 --> 08:23.001
additional 18 human performance teams

08:23.001 --> 08:25.057
for brigade size elements and then a

08:25.057 --> 08:27.168
new concept which is our area support

08:27.168 --> 08:29.279
teams because we understand there's a

08:29.279 --> 08:31.279
lot of smaller units out there that

08:31.279 --> 08:33.501
they just don't fit the brigade model .

08:33.501 --> 08:33.289
They're not that size and so what the

08:33.289 --> 08:35.345
army's come up with is this solution

08:35.345 --> 08:37.233
where we can group enough of them

08:37.233 --> 08:39.400
together on an installation . And give

08:39.400 --> 08:39.169
them their own human performance team

08:39.169 --> 08:41.113
that will service that entire area

08:41.113 --> 08:43.336
support concept and so there's gonna be

08:43.336 --> 08:45.447
59 of those being rolled out starting

08:45.447 --> 08:47.613
in FY 27 and finishing up , you know ,

08:47.613 --> 08:49.558
in 2 years . So that's a very fast

08:49.558 --> 08:51.725
movement that we're working on there .

08:51.725 --> 08:54.058
In addition to the expansion , you know ,

08:54.058 --> 08:56.225
we have to have the doctrine that goes

08:56.225 --> 08:55.890
with it . So I'm sure many people are

08:55.890 --> 08:58.739
familiar with FM7-22 that's currently

08:58.739 --> 09:00.961
in its revision process . It's been out

09:00.961 --> 09:03.128
for a couple of years and then we also

09:03.128 --> 09:05.183
have the initial ATPs , uh , 1 and 2

09:05.183 --> 09:07.017
that are out that are also going

09:07.017 --> 09:08.961
undergoing revisions . And then in

09:08.961 --> 09:11.072
addition to that we have two new ATPs

09:11.072 --> 09:13.183
that were in uh the formation process

09:13.183 --> 09:15.239
right now writing . The first one is

09:15.239 --> 09:17.461
ATP 3 , which will be the owner's guide

09:17.461 --> 09:19.739
if you will for human performance team ,

09:19.739 --> 09:21.795
uh , targeting the program directors

09:21.795 --> 09:23.961
and the brigade commanders on how best

09:23.961 --> 09:26.072
to utilize those teams using a lot of

09:26.072 --> 09:28.183
our lessons learned over the last 2-3

09:28.183 --> 09:30.295
years that we've collected . And then

09:30.295 --> 09:32.517
the last one that we're building is for

09:32.517 --> 09:34.683
P3T , same sort of thing , kind of the

09:34.683 --> 09:34.669
owner's manual for P3T , how to build

09:34.669 --> 09:36.780
that team , how to run that program ,

09:37.030 --> 09:39.252
uh , for the soldiers that that require

09:39.252 --> 09:41.474
that program to exist . And so a lot of

09:41.474 --> 09:43.752
stuff going out as far as publications ,

09:43.752 --> 09:45.586
uh , it's not a timely process .

09:45.586 --> 09:47.919
There's a lot of stuff involved in that ,

09:47.919 --> 09:50.141
but , uh , keep your eyes open over the

09:50.141 --> 09:49.750
next 2-3 years we're gonna have a lot

09:49.750 --> 09:51.250
more doctrine coming out .

09:55.080 --> 09:57.080
Alright , good morning , everyone .

09:57.080 --> 09:59.191
Serving First Class Rice . So I'm the

09:59.191 --> 10:01.358
Army Reserve HUF system developer . My

10:01.358 --> 10:03.580
role is to look at the Army , or excuse

10:03.580 --> 10:05.747
me , look at the HUF system and figure

10:05.747 --> 10:07.913
out how that works for COMPO 3 , and I

10:07.913 --> 10:10.024
work closely with my active component

10:10.024 --> 10:09.919
and National Guard counterparts to

10:09.919 --> 10:11.863
ensure that we can meet the unique

10:11.863 --> 10:13.919
needs of the reserve component . The

10:13.919 --> 10:15.975
reserve component , as was mentioned

10:15.975 --> 10:18.141
earlier , is launching a very specific

10:18.141 --> 10:19.975
pilots starting this fiscal year

10:19.975 --> 10:22.141
starting this month , and the National

10:22.141 --> 10:24.252
Guard , they are going to be starting

10:24.252 --> 10:26.197
with a tiered model , uh , small ,

10:26.197 --> 10:25.869
medium , and large teams for human

10:25.869 --> 10:27.869
performance teams or HO performance

10:27.869 --> 10:29.980
teams in 4 states that being Alaska ,

10:29.980 --> 10:32.770
Indiana , Wyoming , and Kentucky . Uh ,

10:32.849 --> 10:34.960
and the reserve component is going to

10:34.960 --> 10:37.127
be using a readiness division model in

10:37.127 --> 10:39.182
the 808 readiness division and in AR

10:39.182 --> 10:41.238
Medcom . Now what these 6 pilots are

10:41.238 --> 10:43.293
going to do is gonna allow us to see

10:43.293 --> 10:45.349
how HUF can work for a geo dispersed

10:45.349 --> 10:47.349
force that can only train 39 days a

10:47.349 --> 10:49.349
year and where we have a latency of

10:49.349 --> 10:51.516
about 28 days in between most commands

10:51.516 --> 10:53.738
being able to see their soldiers . It's

10:53.738 --> 10:55.682
going to look different from the .

10:55.682 --> 10:55.473
Active component we recognize that and

10:55.473 --> 10:57.084
that's what these pilots are

10:57.084 --> 10:58.973
specifically designed to do is to

10:58.973 --> 11:01.195
assess how that looks , how we can have

11:01.195 --> 11:03.195
an expert developed in a leader led

11:03.195 --> 11:05.417
model so that commanders can understand

11:05.417 --> 11:07.473
how to operationalize the system and

11:07.473 --> 11:09.584
then to use their organic assets such

11:09.584 --> 11:11.806
as HUF integrator and other portions of

11:11.806 --> 11:11.523
training that Sergeant Major Riches is

11:11.523 --> 11:13.690
going to cover in order to ensure that

11:13.690 --> 11:16.015
we can prepare our war fighters . With

11:16.015 --> 11:18.071
the reserve component , our model is

11:18.071 --> 11:20.565
when you go , we go . There is no gap

11:20.565 --> 11:22.676
between when an active component goes

11:22.676 --> 11:24.454
overseas and then we have to go

11:24.454 --> 11:26.176
overseas . The majority of our

11:26.176 --> 11:27.843
capabilities for the army for

11:27.843 --> 11:30.176
sustainment lie within the Army reserve ,

11:30.176 --> 11:32.287
so we need our soldiers to be able to

11:32.287 --> 11:34.509
be ready in the moment , and H2F is the

11:34.509 --> 11:36.621
way to get them ready in the moment .

11:36.621 --> 11:38.509
So this pilot is going to help us

11:38.509 --> 11:40.398
answer that question . Hey , good

11:40.398 --> 11:42.509
morning , Sir Major Richards . So I'm

11:42.509 --> 11:42.390
gonna talk to you about training and

11:42.390 --> 11:44.390
education and what we're doing . So

11:44.390 --> 11:46.668
we're doing a lot of great things , uh ,

11:46.668 --> 11:48.834
across training and education to match

11:48.834 --> 11:48.229
the needs and requirements and the

11:48.229 --> 11:50.396
timeline that the acceleration and the

11:50.396 --> 11:52.750
expansion , uh , demands . And so first

11:52.750 --> 11:54.861
I'm gonna talk about PMEs . So when a

11:54.861 --> 11:56.972
soldier first comes into the army all

11:56.972 --> 11:58.806
the way through our basic combat

11:58.806 --> 12:00.528
training , uh , AIT first unit

12:00.528 --> 12:02.528
assignment to include the requisite

12:02.528 --> 12:02.349
PMEs on the enlisted and officer side .

12:02.650 --> 12:04.817
They're getting educated and saturated

12:04.817 --> 12:07.039
with knowledge of the H2F system , uh ,

12:07.039 --> 12:09.317
how to recognize it , how to employ it ,

12:09.317 --> 12:08.599
how to leverage it for themselves and

12:08.599 --> 12:10.766
for their , uh , their , their units ,

12:10.766 --> 12:12.988
um , and so we are at , uh , you know ,

12:12.988 --> 12:15.266
BLC , uh , Officer basic leader course ,

12:15.266 --> 12:17.099
the rap career course we're in a

12:17.099 --> 12:19.377
company commander first on course , uh ,

12:19.377 --> 12:21.266
and the school command prep which

12:21.266 --> 12:23.266
focuses on , uh , battalion brigade

12:23.266 --> 12:25.321
level , uh , commanders and sergeant

12:25.321 --> 12:24.799
majors , and so we're hitting from the

12:24.799 --> 12:27.070
bottom all the way to the top of of

12:27.080 --> 12:29.460
soldier experience and leadership . Uh ,

12:29.549 --> 12:31.327
at every echelon , so then they

12:31.327 --> 12:33.605
proliferate back out to the force , uh ,

12:33.605 --> 12:35.771
and then they , they can imbue the HUF

12:35.771 --> 12:37.882
system , uh , within their units . So

12:37.882 --> 12:39.993
looking at what we're doing inside of

12:39.993 --> 12:42.160
training , uh , at the unit level , so

12:42.160 --> 12:44.105
we have the H2F integrator . We're

12:44.105 --> 12:46.105
constantly taking feedback from the

12:46.105 --> 12:48.160
force and these HUF teams , um , and

12:48.160 --> 12:50.049
what commanders need for this H2F

12:50.049 --> 12:52.216
integrator and we're , we're revamping

12:52.216 --> 12:54.382
and refining the , uh , the , the H2FI

12:54.382 --> 12:56.605
curriculum continually just so that way

12:56.605 --> 12:56.469
it , it matches what the , the

12:56.469 --> 12:58.580
commander needs to employ them . Um ,

12:58.580 --> 13:00.525
additionally , to meet some of the

13:00.525 --> 13:02.580
expansion and acceleration timelines

13:02.580 --> 13:04.747
and , um , uh , challenges that COMPA2

13:04.747 --> 13:06.691
and COMPO 3 will have , um , we're

13:06.691 --> 13:08.913
looking at where we are piloting , um .

13:08.913 --> 13:10.969
And Schofield Barracks and user that

13:10.969 --> 13:12.802
H2FI expansion , so it gives the

13:12.802 --> 13:14.969
ability and capability to home station

13:14.969 --> 13:17.136
units and commanders and units there ,

13:17.136 --> 13:19.109
uh , to create , uh , the H2FI

13:19.109 --> 13:21.260
integrator . Uh , they can still send

13:21.260 --> 13:23.419
their soldiers to the HUF academies ,

13:23.630 --> 13:25.630
uh , to receive the ASI , but we're

13:25.630 --> 13:27.519
also allowing , um , pushing that

13:27.519 --> 13:29.741
capability down to the unit level to to

13:29.741 --> 13:31.963
increase capacity . for uh that organic

13:31.963 --> 13:34.074
asset , uh , something else that's in

13:34.074 --> 13:36.130
uh a new initiative we're in a pilot

13:36.130 --> 13:38.241
right now for what's known as the HUF

13:38.241 --> 13:40.463
advisor . This is the H2F system senior

13:40.463 --> 13:42.686
NCO , uh , that's gonna couple together

13:42.686 --> 13:44.852
with the existing HUF performance team

13:44.852 --> 13:46.963
as well as , uh , augment support the

13:46.963 --> 13:46.200
area support teams is gonna be coming

13:46.200 --> 13:48.700
online and assist with the formation ,

13:48.710 --> 13:51.080
uh , across COMPO 2 and COMPO 3 . Um ,

13:51.119 --> 13:53.230
and as well as for the units that are

13:53.230 --> 13:55.341
yet to receive , uh , HUF performance

13:55.341 --> 13:57.563
teams in , in the future years . And so

13:57.563 --> 13:59.786
what the senior NCO for the performance

13:59.786 --> 13:59.039
team is gonna do is gonna fill a lot of

13:59.039 --> 14:01.095
critical gaps . One , it , it allows

14:01.095 --> 14:03.261
for a deployable , uh , NCO capability

14:03.261 --> 14:05.539
for the NCO or for the HUF system . Uh ,

14:05.539 --> 14:07.761
to , it allows for , uh , uh , a narrow

14:07.761 --> 14:09.539
focus of someone looking at the

14:09.539 --> 14:11.761
professional development , uh , for the

14:11.761 --> 14:13.983
H2F integrators within the H2F system ,

14:13.983 --> 14:15.817
uh , and they are the lead staff

14:15.817 --> 14:18.039
integration , uh , planner to make sure

14:18.039 --> 14:20.150
to , to assist , uh , the H2F team in

14:20.150 --> 14:21.817
aligning with the commander's

14:21.817 --> 14:23.872
priorities so that way everything is

14:23.872 --> 14:26.150
looked through the lens of of H2F , um ,

14:26.150 --> 14:27.872
in , in unit operations . Uh ,

14:27.872 --> 14:29.928
switching over to more training , we

14:29.928 --> 14:31.928
have , uh , CIMT is a proponent for

14:31.928 --> 14:33.983
pregnancy and postpartum performance

14:33.983 --> 14:36.206
training . Uh , to date , we've trained

14:36.206 --> 14:38.372
957 through the , this FY , uh , we're

14:38.372 --> 14:40.539
continually training , uh , the . With

14:40.539 --> 14:42.539
P3T as mentioned , we have doctrine

14:42.539 --> 14:44.706
associated with that that's gonna help

14:44.706 --> 14:46.872
units implement and maintain their P3T

14:46.872 --> 14:48.928
program at the unit level , uh , and

14:48.928 --> 14:48.780
then the last initiative that we're

14:48.780 --> 14:50.909
working , uh , we're developing a

14:50.909 --> 14:53.131
tactical mobility , active recovery and

14:53.131 --> 14:55.059
mindfulness facilitator course so

14:55.059 --> 14:58.369
that's a 5 day , uh , course that it

14:58.619 --> 15:00.619
fills the gap and aligns the at the

15:00.619 --> 15:02.563
intersection between a spiritual ,

15:02.563 --> 15:05.059
mental and physi um uh spiritual mental .

15:06.090 --> 15:08.380
And physical domains , uh , within HUF

15:08.380 --> 15:10.380
system , uh , and they , they learn

15:10.380 --> 15:12.436
breathing techniques , uh , physical

15:12.436 --> 15:14.769
sequences , as well as mindfulness , um ,

15:14.769 --> 15:17.219
to down regulate from a , um , a stress

15:17.479 --> 15:19.890
uh response to get more into a , uh , a

15:19.890 --> 15:22.112
parasympathetic state . We've had great

15:22.112 --> 15:24.279
success . The demand signals high , so

15:24.279 --> 15:26.001
we just wrapped up our program

15:26.001 --> 15:28.057
evaluation . We conducted 3 of these

15:28.057 --> 15:30.223
facilitated courses , uh , to where we

15:30.223 --> 15:30.030
trained 50 facilitators across all

15:30.030 --> 15:32.308
three composts , and they're going out ,

15:32.308 --> 15:34.530
um , and they're , they're implementing

15:34.530 --> 15:36.641
this course , and we're getting great

15:36.641 --> 15:38.919
feedback from that . Uh , we have , uh ,

15:38.919 --> 15:41.086
2 more courses lined up for , for this

15:41.086 --> 15:43.252
year going down to Fort Benning , uh ,

15:43.252 --> 15:45.419
early spring and then JBLM , uh , next

15:45.419 --> 15:48.320
summer . Uh , chaplain Matt McCraney ,

15:48.359 --> 15:50.750
I'm the spiritual domain lead for H2F .

15:51.090 --> 15:53.119
Um , the spiritual domain is one of

15:53.119 --> 15:54.786
those domains that is kind of

15:54.786 --> 15:56.730
misunderstood . Uh , so if you can

15:56.730 --> 15:58.786
imagine a soldier that is struggling

15:58.786 --> 16:01.219
with their height weight . Um , you can

16:01.219 --> 16:03.386
give them the best wearables . You can

16:03.386 --> 16:05.108
give them all of the nutrition

16:05.108 --> 16:07.386
information you can give them the best ,

16:07.386 --> 16:09.330
uh , facilities to work out and to

16:09.330 --> 16:11.275
train , but if you don't make that

16:11.275 --> 16:13.441
connection between , uh , who they are

16:13.441 --> 16:15.330
as a soldier , if they don't find

16:15.330 --> 16:17.441
purpose and meaning in what they do .

16:17.669 --> 16:20.900
Not gonna make the changes necessary to

16:20.900 --> 16:23.299
improve their situation and so what

16:23.299 --> 16:25.410
we're doing with the spiritual domain

16:25.410 --> 16:27.719
is we're helping soldiers to see

16:27.719 --> 16:29.941
themselves no matter their background ,

16:30.020 --> 16:31.798
no matter their beliefs , their

16:31.798 --> 16:34.179
religion to see themselves in this

16:34.179 --> 16:36.739
domain and to connect with who they are

16:36.739 --> 16:39.539
as soldiers as individuals so we've

16:39.539 --> 16:41.650
worked very closely with the chief of

16:41.650 --> 16:43.872
chaplain's office , uh , a lot of input

16:43.872 --> 16:45.940
from them to focus on identity ,

16:46.099 --> 16:49.000
purpose and meaning . Uh , as the core

16:49.000 --> 16:51.599
to spirituality , uh , and helping

16:51.599 --> 16:53.377
soldiers to find that source of

16:53.377 --> 16:55.377
strength that pushes them on to the

16:55.377 --> 16:57.432
objective so that they can thrive in

16:57.432 --> 16:59.359
life and in war , uh , we've also

16:59.359 --> 17:01.526
worked very closely with Three Corps .

17:01.526 --> 17:03.470
They've produced a great spiritual

17:03.470 --> 17:05.692
fitness guide , uh , and we're taking a

17:05.692 --> 17:07.803
lot of input from the field , uh , to

17:07.803 --> 17:10.026
hopefully revamp this . We'll see a lot

17:10.026 --> 17:12.137
of changes that are coming out in the

17:12.137 --> 17:14.303
FM when that publishes , uh , later on

17:14.303 --> 17:15.303
next year , um .

17:18.109 --> 17:20.729
Good morning everyone . Imagine if

17:20.729 --> 17:22.889
every soldier was treated as a high

17:22.889 --> 17:25.650
performance athlete . Provided

17:25.650 --> 17:29.369
optimized skills and tools to help them

17:29.369 --> 17:31.147
understand how to improve their

17:31.147 --> 17:33.313
readiness and performance . That's the

17:33.313 --> 17:35.425
vision behind the holistic health and

17:35.425 --> 17:38.040
fitness Management System or H2FMS . It

17:38.040 --> 17:41.000
is the army's data driven effort to

17:41.000 --> 17:43.167
ensure that everything that we provide

17:43.167 --> 17:46.319
to a soldier is provided expertly and

17:46.319 --> 17:48.719
enhances our lethality . I'm Lieutenant

17:48.719 --> 17:50.441
Colonel Smith and I'm proud to

17:50.441 --> 17:52.719
introduce the H2 FMS , which is more

17:52.719 --> 17:54.939
than just a software application . It

17:54.939 --> 17:57.500
is a data driven environment where

17:57.500 --> 18:00.339
we're enabling multiple systems to work

18:00.339 --> 18:02.561
together to enhance the soldier . We're

18:02.561 --> 18:04.939
integrating all the H2F domains

18:04.939 --> 18:07.150
physical , mental , nutritional ,

18:07.420 --> 18:10.859
spiritual , all designed to help us

18:10.859 --> 18:13.939
understand and inform leaders and H2F

18:13.939 --> 18:17.449
practitioners . We are working with

18:17.449 --> 18:19.505
multiple organizations to understand

18:19.505 --> 18:21.393
how do we integrate this into our

18:21.393 --> 18:23.719
formations we're leveraging existing

18:23.969 --> 18:26.800
and ongoing and previous efforts , uh ,

18:26.810 --> 18:29.439
in pilots across the command and across

18:29.439 --> 18:31.606
the years that we've been working with

18:31.606 --> 18:33.717
this requirement to understand how it

18:33.717 --> 18:35.939
integrates in basic training and , um ,

18:35.939 --> 18:37.495
different combat settings .

18:37.589 --> 18:40.140
Understanding how to integrate uh this

18:40.140 --> 18:43.459
tool into uh the National Guard into

18:43.459 --> 18:45.900
the active army and the reserves we're

18:45.900 --> 18:48.300
also learning how to develop the right

18:48.300 --> 18:50.022
requirements for Army approved

18:50.022 --> 18:52.078
biometric devices . All these things

18:52.078 --> 18:54.022
help us understand how do we input

18:54.022 --> 18:56.300
input this application not just to the

18:56.300 --> 18:58.522
leaders to the practitioners , but into

18:58.522 --> 19:01.189
the hands of the soldier . We are , uh ,

19:01.199 --> 19:03.366
aggressively accelerating as mentioned

19:03.366 --> 19:05.532
earlier we're really interested in how

19:05.532 --> 19:07.839
we , uh , integrate this effectively

19:07.839 --> 19:10.479
the first time so we're executing and

19:10.479 --> 19:12.423
figuring out a requirement for the

19:12.423 --> 19:14.535
pilot program to get this on ground .

19:14.599 --> 19:17.069
Uh , we are fully funded through FY 31 ,

19:17.239 --> 19:19.295
so the lessons that we learned today

19:19.295 --> 19:20.961
and we're continuing to learn

19:20.961 --> 19:22.906
throughout all our efforts that we

19:22.906 --> 19:25.072
mentioned today will make an impactful

19:25.072 --> 19:27.017
lasting impression in a in an army

19:27.017 --> 19:29.183
system arrest record that will last uh

19:29.183 --> 19:32.010
the test of time . You do ? Hey , thank

19:32.010 --> 19:34.177
you very much , gentlemen . And , uh ,

19:34.177 --> 19:35.954
we also have a great , uh , H2F

19:35.954 --> 19:38.177
engineer , uh , who could make the trip

19:38.177 --> 19:40.343
up with us , but she wanted me to kind

19:40.343 --> 19:39.760
of share some notes on the facilities

19:39.760 --> 19:41.871
front . Uh , specifically the soldier

19:41.871 --> 19:44.204
Performance Training Center , the SPARC ,

19:44.204 --> 19:46.427
which is that hub for both physical and

19:46.427 --> 19:48.760
and non-physical domain domain training .

19:48.760 --> 19:50.927
So we're , we are completely partnered

19:50.927 --> 19:52.982
and we're , we're we're moving ahead

19:52.982 --> 19:52.410
with , uh , the US Army Corps of

19:52.410 --> 19:55.880
Engineers , INE and , uh , and AMC , uh ,

19:55.930 --> 19:58.041
looking at innovation and cost , uh ,

19:58.041 --> 20:00.097
reduction measures to , to get these

20:00.097 --> 20:02.263
new designs built across . But what we

20:02.263 --> 20:04.530
do have in moving out . FY 26 is is

20:04.530 --> 20:06.969
approval for 67 designs for some

20:06.969 --> 20:08.858
repurposing and and rehab of some

20:08.858 --> 20:10.913
existing facilities across to really

20:10.913 --> 20:13.025
enhance them for , for , uh , for our

20:13.025 --> 20:14.969
soldiers so that that H2F system ,

20:14.969 --> 20:17.136
those that equipment , uh , facilities

20:17.136 --> 20:19.358
and such matter expertise has a , has a

20:19.358 --> 20:21.469
one home within the brigade footprint

20:21.469 --> 20:23.802
where we can execute across all domains .

20:23.802 --> 20:25.913
So I think , uh , with that , uh , we

20:25.913 --> 20:28.136
will go ahead and , uh , open it up for

20:28.136 --> 20:30.191
for some questions . If you have any

20:30.191 --> 20:30.109
questions from the audience .

20:36.300 --> 20:38.467
Uh , thank you . That was great , uh ,

20:38.467 --> 20:40.800
Steve Lewis . So the question I have is ,

20:40.800 --> 20:43.022
uh , you know , you got the H2F domains

20:43.022 --> 20:45.133
and then work in the H2F , but , um ,

20:45.133 --> 20:47.244
you also have the resilience training

20:47.244 --> 20:46.859
centers . How are you integrating with

20:46.859 --> 20:47.930
those as well ?

20:50.550 --> 20:53.550
This so that that also falls under the

20:53.550 --> 20:55.589
under the CINT umbrella and I think

20:55.589 --> 20:57.867
we're we're we're very closely knitted .

20:57.867 --> 20:59.922
I think where we have the because to

20:59.922 --> 21:02.256
certainly mental mental uh readiness is ,

21:02.256 --> 21:04.260
is a part of , of the H2F umbrella

21:04.469 --> 21:06.136
where we have commonality and

21:06.136 --> 21:07.969
capabilities is in our cognitive

21:07.969 --> 21:10.080
performance specialist which is is an

21:10.080 --> 21:12.191
embedded capability . um , so , so we

21:12.191 --> 21:14.191
see those as another , another tool

21:14.191 --> 21:16.302
that can think can complement the H2F

21:16.302 --> 21:18.413
system . Um , and we , and , and it's

21:18.413 --> 21:17.880
also just within the commander's

21:17.880 --> 21:20.160
wheelhouse to pull that in kind of as

21:20.160 --> 21:22.382
necessary , but embedded within the H2F

21:22.382 --> 21:24.599
human performance team is a cognitive

21:24.599 --> 21:26.655
specialist so that that could be the

21:26.655 --> 21:28.377
direct , direct , uh , support

21:28.377 --> 21:30.599
relationship and then the R2 offers the

21:30.599 --> 21:32.821
commander some additional complementary

21:32.821 --> 21:35.155
reach back capability . Thank you , sir .

21:35.155 --> 21:37.369
The Good good morning .

21:40.030 --> 21:42.141
I'm sorry , sir . Sir , thank you for

21:42.141 --> 21:44.252
the great brief this morning . Um , I

21:44.252 --> 21:46.197
wanna ask you a question about the

21:46.197 --> 21:48.308
nutritional domain . I noticed that ,

21:48.308 --> 21:48.099
uh , you know , we've had a , a great

21:48.099 --> 21:50.210
lay down of all of this up here , but

21:50.210 --> 21:52.488
nutrition has only been mentioned once .

21:52.488 --> 21:54.599
Uh , where does that , uh , follow an

21:54.599 --> 21:56.821
H2F and can you tell me , uh , you know

21:56.821 --> 21:58.877
how that's going to develop ? Yeah ,

21:58.877 --> 22:00.989
absolutely , uh , and , um , we , we

22:00.989 --> 22:03.156
have some , some incredible registered

22:03.156 --> 22:05.267
dieticians on the team , and each one

22:05.267 --> 22:07.378
of these human performance teams that

22:07.378 --> 22:09.545
that we talked about in accelerating ,

22:09.545 --> 22:09.390
that registered dietitian is , is a

22:09.390 --> 22:11.557
critical part about it because we know

22:11.557 --> 22:13.723
it's not just about great PT we need ,

22:13.723 --> 22:15.723
it's , it's your pre-fueling , it's

22:15.723 --> 22:17.890
your post-fueling . So that's one . So

22:17.890 --> 22:19.834
that , that's part of that subject

22:19.834 --> 22:19.550
matter expertise is having that

22:19.550 --> 22:21.949
embedded . Uh , registered dietician is

22:21.949 --> 22:24.005
part of that , that performance team

22:24.005 --> 22:26.116
available to the commander . Uh , the

22:26.116 --> 22:28.510
second part is within the H2FMS system

22:28.510 --> 22:30.454
that , uh , that , that Lieutenant

22:30.454 --> 22:32.177
Colonel Smith talked about the

22:32.177 --> 22:34.232
nutritional domain capability , um ,

22:34.232 --> 22:36.343
whether it be meal planning , whether

22:36.343 --> 22:38.232
it be . Education , whether it be

22:38.650 --> 22:40.817
access to that registered dietician is

22:40.817 --> 22:42.983
a , is a critical capability that will

22:42.983 --> 22:44.983
be part of that that system when it

22:44.983 --> 22:47.094
rolls out here , uh , in , in 26 . So

22:47.094 --> 22:49.261
it's , you know , uh , shame on us for

22:49.261 --> 22:48.920
not hitting it during the brief , but

22:48.920 --> 22:51.031
it's , it's 1/5 of the pillar , sir ,

22:51.031 --> 22:53.253
and it's a critical one . I'll I'll add

22:53.253 --> 22:55.309
on to that too , sir . So what we're

22:55.309 --> 22:57.476
seeing uh our dieticians do across the

22:57.476 --> 22:59.087
forest are are they're great

22:59.087 --> 23:00.753
initiatives , um , so they're

23:00.753 --> 23:02.753
partnering with existing insulation

23:02.753 --> 23:04.809
resources , um , and then , um . One

23:04.809 --> 23:07.270
for helping like hey . They're taking

23:07.270 --> 23:09.492
them to the commissaries for an example

23:09.492 --> 23:11.437
and then teaching them how to shop

23:11.437 --> 23:13.437
wisely , um , and then they're also

23:13.437 --> 23:15.659
coordinating with the dining facilities

23:15.659 --> 23:15.630
and then asking them the dining

23:15.630 --> 23:17.741
facilities to , to kind of change and

23:17.741 --> 23:19.908
to make a more encouraging , uh , food

23:19.908 --> 23:21.908
environment for the soldiers . Uh ,

23:21.908 --> 23:24.130
they're also looking at what's existing

23:24.130 --> 23:26.297
in the barracks , um , for these quick

23:26.297 --> 23:28.574
quick bite snack vending machines , um ,

23:28.574 --> 23:30.408
and in contacting the vendors to

23:30.408 --> 23:32.297
replace those vending , uh , menu

23:32.297 --> 23:34.241
selecting selection items with the

23:34.241 --> 23:37.930
healthier options . Yes , sir . Uh , I

23:37.930 --> 23:39.849
wanted to ask about uh behavioral

23:39.849 --> 23:41.930
health risk . Where does that fit in

23:41.930 --> 23:44.152
things like suicide prevention , sexual

23:44.152 --> 23:45.874
assault , and then also on the

23:45.874 --> 23:47.930
nutrition side , where does drinking

23:47.930 --> 23:49.097
and smoking fit in ?

23:52.869 --> 23:55.109
Yeah , so , so some of the , um , you

23:55.109 --> 23:57.331
know , obviously as we discussed mental

23:57.331 --> 23:59.498
readiness is , is , is 15th , um , and

23:59.498 --> 24:01.553
we see it as , as a coequal co-equal

24:01.553 --> 24:03.220
branch . Some of that is , is

24:03.220 --> 24:05.331
absolutely it's clinical and that's ,

24:05.331 --> 24:07.553
that's kind of not what our , our , our

24:07.553 --> 24:09.609
HTF system is , is gonna get after .

24:09.609 --> 24:09.339
But , but we think when you have this

24:09.339 --> 24:11.395
overall and we're still gonna have a

24:11.395 --> 24:13.617
need for for some of that that clinical

24:13.617 --> 24:15.617
behavioral health support , um , so

24:15.617 --> 24:17.895
this does not replace that but this is .

24:17.895 --> 24:20.006
is across all domains um we're giving

24:20.006 --> 24:21.895
the commander access to more data

24:21.895 --> 24:24.061
points about their soldier so they can

24:24.061 --> 24:26.117
make kind of more informed decisions

24:26.117 --> 24:28.339
and look for for some of those those uh

24:28.339 --> 24:30.228
those red line behaviors prior to

24:30.228 --> 24:32.283
incident and maybe get ahead of them

24:32.283 --> 24:31.895
because if it's just hey we need to

24:32.104 --> 24:34.160
relook at your why through spiritual

24:34.160 --> 24:36.215
fitness or we need to relook at your

24:36.215 --> 24:38.382
your your diet or your performance out

24:38.382 --> 24:40.326
of PT we'll have those data points

24:40.326 --> 24:42.437
earlier . The data will be better and

24:42.437 --> 24:44.437
we'll have uh some expertise . So I

24:44.437 --> 24:46.771
think it , it complements it's and it's ,

24:46.771 --> 24:48.993
it's left of , of incident , sir , um ,

24:48.993 --> 24:51.215
and , and we'll we'll still partner but

24:51.215 --> 24:51.079
really the commander is gonna be the

24:51.079 --> 24:53.301
central person in that in that triangle

24:53.301 --> 24:55.280
of whether this is we can , we can

24:55.280 --> 24:57.336
address this through kind of some of

24:57.336 --> 24:59.336
the H2F embedded capabilities or it

24:59.336 --> 24:59.290
needs to move to a higher level ,

24:59.520 --> 25:01.576
higher level care so it's absolutely

25:01.576 --> 25:03.742
complimentary John yeah just to tag on

25:03.742 --> 25:05.964
that , you know . Even though we're not

25:05.964 --> 25:07.829
clinical in the in the shape of

25:07.829 --> 25:09.989
behavior health , we have BHO , the

25:09.989 --> 25:12.156
behavioral health officers embedded in

25:12.156 --> 25:14.267
those brigades as well . So often HOF

25:14.267 --> 25:16.433
acts as a sensor and the collaboration

25:16.433 --> 25:18.670
between our team and the BHO really

25:18.670 --> 25:20.837
kind of gets after taking care of that

25:20.837 --> 25:23.059
soldier holistically trying to identify

25:23.059 --> 25:25.281
problems that maybe aren't clinical and

25:25.281 --> 25:27.170
and up to the relevance of a of a

25:27.170 --> 25:29.392
clinical threshold , but all that stuff

25:29.392 --> 25:29.069
builds up and gets that soldier there

25:29.069 --> 25:31.236
eventually and so by being left a bang

25:31.236 --> 25:33.347
and be able to kind of . Some of that

25:33.347 --> 25:35.513
stuff and be able to take some of that

25:35.513 --> 25:37.625
stress off that soldier's life . What

25:37.625 --> 25:39.736
we're seeing is the BHOs now are able

25:39.736 --> 25:41.625
to more consistently take care of

25:41.625 --> 25:43.736
soldiers at their level because we're

25:43.736 --> 25:45.958
taking off of some of those uh adulting

25:45.958 --> 25:45.525
problems that some of our soldiers have

25:45.775 --> 25:47.886
that , uh , a lot of our BHO's like ,

25:47.886 --> 25:49.997
hey , a lot of what I'm seeing is I'm

25:49.997 --> 25:52.053
teaching these kids how to adult and

25:52.053 --> 25:54.108
it's not if we get to them before it

25:54.108 --> 25:56.331
becomes a clinical problem we get there

25:56.331 --> 25:56.094
sooner and so it's a lot of

25:56.094 --> 25:58.205
collaboration between the BH officers

25:58.205 --> 26:02.079
and the HOF team that's out there . And

26:02.079 --> 26:04.135
I think to your point on the , the ,

26:04.135 --> 26:05.801
the smoking and , and alcohol

26:05.801 --> 26:07.690
consumption , I mean that . It it

26:07.690 --> 26:09.912
doesn't take H2F to , to , to , to , to

26:09.912 --> 26:12.135
identify that , but that those are kind

26:12.135 --> 26:13.523
of unhealthy or could be

26:13.523 --> 26:15.746
counterproductive behaviors . But if we

26:15.746 --> 26:17.968
can inform soldiers and maybe sometimes

26:17.968 --> 26:19.912
too , uh , you know , kind of data

26:19.912 --> 26:21.801
driven information if you're , if

26:21.801 --> 26:21.689
you're using the H2FMS system and

26:21.689 --> 26:23.911
you're seeing the effects of alcohol on

26:23.911 --> 26:26.078
your sleep . Um , and you , you know ,

26:26.078 --> 26:28.189
it's , it's , and it's affecting your

26:28.189 --> 26:27.859
performance . It's certainly another

26:27.859 --> 26:30.349
data point in , in the education field

26:30.349 --> 26:32.293
of , of kind of showing a , um , a

26:32.293 --> 26:34.460
soldier , uh , those impacts on them .

26:34.460 --> 26:36.238
I , I think it'd be very , very

26:36.238 --> 26:40.180
impactful . I think we have one more

26:40.180 --> 26:41.180
question .

26:44.800 --> 26:45.800
But

26:48.880 --> 26:51.047
All right , thank you , thank you very

26:51.047 --> 26:53.213
much . Excellent panel . Uh , Sam from

26:53.213 --> 26:55.324
the Aurora Group , and I'm curious as

26:55.324 --> 26:57.047
the HQF program matures and is

26:57.047 --> 26:59.269
competing with talent , particularly in

26:59.269 --> 27:01.380
the human performance domain with the

27:01.380 --> 27:03.602
SOCOMOTI with the optimizing the weapon

27:03.602 --> 27:05.824
systems , uh , uh , programs , uh , how

27:05.824 --> 27:07.824
does the army . Plan to compete for

27:07.824 --> 27:07.400
those talent given that the

27:07.400 --> 27:09.560
qualifications for particular human

27:09.560 --> 27:11.616
performance optimization individuals

27:11.616 --> 27:15.000
with D1 or Olympic or similar uh soft

27:15.000 --> 27:16.944
requirements is , is a constrained

27:16.944 --> 27:19.167
labor pool . How does the army continue

27:19.167 --> 27:21.111
to mature this program and succeed

27:21.111 --> 27:23.167
given that labor reality ? Yeah , it

27:23.167 --> 27:25.500
looks like yeah . So we've been in

27:25.500 --> 27:27.722
contact over the last couple of years ,

27:27.722 --> 27:29.889
uh , and a lot of it has been academia

27:29.889 --> 27:32.111
and institutions reaching out to us and

27:32.111 --> 27:34.222
say , hey , how do I , how do I do if

27:34.222 --> 27:36.556
my ROTC program this H2F like thing and ,

27:36.556 --> 27:38.611
and then so we we're seeing a lot of

27:38.611 --> 27:40.611
grassroots initiatives across cadet

27:40.611 --> 27:42.722
command to where the programs are are

27:42.722 --> 27:44.944
developing that , uh , and additionally

27:44.944 --> 27:47.056
they're when we come and we help , um

27:47.056 --> 27:49.056
help them develop that that program

27:49.056 --> 27:50.944
what it should look like for them

27:50.944 --> 27:52.611
they're building partnerships

27:52.611 --> 27:52.550
internally within their uh .

27:53.010 --> 27:55.810
Institutions , um , and then we're also

27:55.810 --> 27:57.810
providing a brief and saying hey if

27:57.810 --> 27:59.699
you're interested in the Army H2F

27:59.699 --> 28:01.866
here's an opportunity for employment ,

28:01.866 --> 28:04.050
uh , and so by one , the ROTC programs

28:04.050 --> 28:06.161
just looking after their , uh , cadet

28:06.161 --> 28:08.890
corps , um , to do H2F systems and

28:08.890 --> 28:11.112
organically they're also building those

28:11.112 --> 28:13.223
internal partnerships , um , and so ,

28:13.223 --> 28:15.168
but you're absolutely right to the

28:15.168 --> 28:17.279
question and so with the acceleration

28:17.279 --> 28:17.050
everything , uh , we're , we're aware

28:17.050 --> 28:19.880
that there's gonna be some , um , um ,

28:20.209 --> 28:24.010
competing . Uh , resourcing out there ,

28:24.300 --> 28:27.719
um , and so we're . With Georgia

28:27.719 --> 28:29.959
Southern , uh , North Georgia , just to

28:29.959 --> 28:32.280
name a couple few of recently that

28:32.280 --> 28:35.000
we're in continual , uh , contact with

28:35.000 --> 28:37.167
helping them develop their programs so

28:37.167 --> 28:39.167
he's saying , hey , can you produce

28:39.167 --> 28:41.000
more of these or , or not really

28:41.000 --> 28:42.944
produce more of those , but , um ,

28:42.944 --> 28:42.680
we're just helping spread the

28:42.680 --> 28:44.791
information , say , hey , the army is

28:44.791 --> 28:46.847
an opportunity and an option for you

28:46.847 --> 28:49.180
post your college career consider us so .

28:49.180 --> 28:51.347
I'm just gonna jump in here real quick

28:51.347 --> 28:53.569
on that question because it's we're not

28:53.569 --> 28:55.569
in competition with SOF or or other

28:55.569 --> 28:55.420
folks there , right ? uh everything

28:55.420 --> 28:57.364
that SOF has done over the last 30

28:57.364 --> 28:59.420
years is informing what you see here

28:59.420 --> 29:01.476
with H2F . It's not in competition .

29:01.476 --> 29:03.790
OHWS informing the data management

29:03.790 --> 29:05.869
system . This is all being brought

29:05.869 --> 29:09.060
together under the H2F roof and , uh ,

29:09.069 --> 29:11.236
so we don't see competition . That you

29:11.236 --> 29:13.458
know , like I said , we're gonna be the

29:13.458 --> 29:15.291
largest employer of strength and

29:15.291 --> 29:17.402
conditioning coaches in the US , uh ,

29:17.402 --> 29:17.339
and we're reaching out to other

29:17.339 --> 29:19.450
universities to generate more . North

29:19.450 --> 29:21.672
Georgia College just offered that up to

29:21.672 --> 29:23.783
us yesterday , so , so we know , uh ,

29:23.783 --> 29:26.006
that they're we're , we're gonna have a

29:26.006 --> 29:28.228
high demand on those , on those folks ,

29:28.228 --> 29:29.950
uh , but we're also working on

29:29.950 --> 29:32.117
producing more , uh , and working with

29:32.117 --> 29:34.339
other , uh , agencies out there . Yes ,

29:34.339 --> 29:36.672
and the last thing I'd add to that , um ,

29:36.672 --> 29:38.895
is the , the H2FI , the advisor and the

29:38.895 --> 29:40.895
integrator course . It's , I mean ,

29:40.895 --> 29:42.783
homegrown capability , green suit

29:42.783 --> 29:45.117
capabilities is another way , uh , that ,

29:45.117 --> 29:47.172
but yeah , I mean , absolutely . Yes

29:47.172 --> 29:49.228
ma'am . Good morning . Does H2F have

29:49.228 --> 29:53.060
current or planned capability for uh AI

29:53.060 --> 29:56.689
enabled analytics for , uh ,

29:56.699 --> 29:59.800
informing real-time optimization .

30:00.380 --> 30:02.547
Of some of the training , specifically

30:02.547 --> 30:04.491
the physical training . Chance you

30:04.491 --> 30:06.491
wanna take that one . Thank you for

30:06.491 --> 30:08.158
your question . Uh , so it is

30:08.158 --> 30:10.269
definitely a part of our requirements

30:10.269 --> 30:13.420
for H2FMS , uh , the ability to

30:13.420 --> 30:15.587
understand and leverage existing large

30:15.587 --> 30:17.630
language models to help us , uh ,

30:18.140 --> 30:20.270
improve the interface with the , uh ,

30:20.280 --> 30:22.224
the soldiers , the leaders and the

30:22.224 --> 30:24.169
practitioners , but also how do we

30:24.169 --> 30:26.391
leverage advanced analytics . Different

30:26.391 --> 30:28.613
modeling to help us get more left of uh

30:28.613 --> 30:31.939
reactive type of uh reaction or

30:31.939 --> 30:34.260
decisions but more preemptive and more

30:34.260 --> 30:36.149
uh prescriptive to help us change

30:36.149 --> 30:38.093
outcomes based on the data that we

30:38.093 --> 30:39.760
receive in the system so it's

30:39.760 --> 30:41.982
definitely a part of the uh development

30:41.982 --> 30:44.204
process and the requirements that we've

30:44.204 --> 30:46.371
set out uh for H2FMS and I'll tell you

30:46.371 --> 30:48.538
we just , we just met with the vice uh

30:48.538 --> 30:50.619
yesterday on this exact issue . Uh ,

30:50.750 --> 30:53.140
he's given us Task Force 201 to help us

30:53.140 --> 30:56.310
overlay AI analytics as we , as , as we ,

30:56.390 --> 30:58.949
uh , feel this , this , uh , H2F data

30:58.949 --> 31:01.116
management system , uh , for the exact

31:01.116 --> 31:02.838
reasons that you just stated .

31:06.969 --> 31:09.080
Uh , one question over there , mate .

31:11.729 --> 31:13.785
Good morning . I'm Master Serge Bron

31:13.785 --> 31:16.007
next with T2com . My question is , OK ,

31:16.007 --> 31:18.229
we have these programs , but how do you

31:18.229 --> 31:20.118
ensure that it's available to the

31:20.118 --> 31:22.229
soldiers at the lowest level ? How do

31:22.229 --> 31:24.229
you determine at what level are you

31:24.229 --> 31:26.340
gonna have these teams , say you have

31:26.340 --> 31:28.285
them at a brigade level , will the

31:28.285 --> 31:30.507
companies , the soldiers at the company

31:30.507 --> 31:32.618
levels be able to access these , uh ,

31:32.618 --> 31:35.010
this program without having to go

31:35.010 --> 31:38.280
through multiple . Layers to do it ,

31:38.390 --> 31:40.446
you know , because sometimes we have

31:40.446 --> 31:42.334
these great programs but then the

31:42.334 --> 31:44.390
soldiers , they have difficulty even

31:44.390 --> 31:46.557
getting to use these programs . And we

31:46.557 --> 31:50.209
take that ? Yeah , thank you , so great

31:50.209 --> 31:53.489
question . Um , so part about what sets

31:53.489 --> 31:55.378
H2F apart is the fact that we are

31:55.378 --> 31:57.600
embedded down into the soldiers' unit .

31:57.760 --> 32:00.709
And so we're down into that AO um and

32:00.709 --> 32:03.069
so with the advent of the H2FIs those

32:03.069 --> 32:05.469
are company level so those are kind of

32:05.469 --> 32:07.691
our sensors out in that company platoon

32:07.691 --> 32:09.913
formation that can help us reach out to

32:09.913 --> 32:12.025
the soldier . um , the other thing we

32:12.025 --> 32:14.247
have is the H2F team is direct access ,

32:14.247 --> 32:16.469
so it's not like you have to go to your

32:16.469 --> 32:18.525
primary care , uh , manager to get a

32:18.525 --> 32:20.636
consult . We do direct access you can

32:20.636 --> 32:20.430
walk into the SPARC or the interim

32:20.430 --> 32:22.486
Spark wherever the people are set up

32:22.550 --> 32:24.606
and see it same day . I think that's

32:24.606 --> 32:26.828
one thing that sets us apart from other

32:26.828 --> 32:28.883
um . Projects that have been done in

32:28.883 --> 32:30.660
the in the military where the

32:30.660 --> 32:32.890
accessibility is built into the system

32:33.099 --> 32:35.266
and so if you need to see the physical

32:35.266 --> 32:37.321
therapist or the athletic trainer or

32:37.321 --> 32:39.543
the dietitian , it's either same day or

32:39.543 --> 32:41.377
next day and every one of our uh

32:41.377 --> 32:43.210
installations , every one of our

32:43.210 --> 32:45.099
brigades , you're getting 24 hour

32:45.099 --> 32:45.060
access pretty much right then and there .

32:45.819 --> 32:47.930
So it's , it's baked into how we work

32:47.930 --> 32:49.986
things . Yeah , and that's why we're

32:49.986 --> 32:52.152
not doing this . This is all being run

32:52.152 --> 32:54.375
by brigade commanders , right ? This is

32:54.375 --> 32:56.319
a brigade commander's program . He

32:56.319 --> 32:58.486
designs that as he sees fit , uh , and

32:58.486 --> 33:00.708
the idea is to get as many touch points

33:00.708 --> 33:00.449
with as many soldiers down to the very

33:00.449 --> 33:02.560
lowest level as possible . That's why

33:02.560 --> 33:04.671
we designed it to work at the brigade

33:04.671 --> 33:06.671
level and why you're not seen to be

33:06.671 --> 33:08.727
managed at the army level or the OSD

33:08.727 --> 33:10.782
level where we've got the leadership

33:10.782 --> 33:10.530
where it gets that access to those

33:10.530 --> 33:13.199
soldiers . Yeah , absolutely , sir .

33:13.250 --> 33:15.472
And then I would also add that the data

33:15.472 --> 33:17.639
management system is gonna be critical

33:17.639 --> 33:19.472
because it's not just a , uh , a

33:19.472 --> 33:21.583
landing page for the commander to get

33:21.583 --> 33:23.694
on to see his formation or his or her

33:23.694 --> 33:25.917
formation , but it's also access at the

33:25.917 --> 33:28.250
soldier level and , and , uh , you know ,

33:28.250 --> 33:30.250
with an app on kind of think app on

33:30.250 --> 33:29.680
your , on your phone type thing . so

33:29.680 --> 33:33.050
they have access 24/7 weekends , um ,

33:33.119 --> 33:35.670
you know , to , to the to die dietary

33:35.670 --> 33:37.726
education information , physical pro

33:37.726 --> 33:39.948
training program and things like that .

33:39.948 --> 33:41.948
So , so , so absolutely . And , and

33:41.948 --> 33:44.114
then just foot stomp on the H2FA and ,

33:44.114 --> 33:46.059
and the advisor , whereas we can't

33:46.059 --> 33:48.114
field these teams down every , every

33:48.114 --> 33:50.281
company , we can put a green suit or a

33:50.281 --> 33:49.974
sergeant , or sergeant first class

33:49.974 --> 33:52.030
who's kind of trusted agents already

33:52.030 --> 33:54.030
within formations who lead and take

33:54.030 --> 33:56.196
care of our soldiers . We get them the

33:56.196 --> 33:58.363
right education that that tool extends

33:58.363 --> 34:00.696
to the very lowest , the newest private ,

34:00.696 --> 34:02.474
uh , in every formation . Great

34:02.474 --> 34:04.696
question . Thank you . I'll , I'll just

34:04.696 --> 34:06.918
add more on to the HOF advisor too , so

34:06.918 --> 34:06.410
that's , that's one of the main roles

34:06.410 --> 34:08.466
that the HO advisor is gonna fill as

34:08.466 --> 34:10.077
well . They're the ones that

34:10.077 --> 34:12.132
specifically narrowly focused on the

34:12.132 --> 34:14.299
HUF system looking at the soldiers and

34:14.299 --> 34:16.354
the gaps in between and then pushing

34:16.354 --> 34:18.466
resources and uh HUF assets , uh , to

34:18.466 --> 34:20.243
the point of need there for the

34:20.243 --> 34:24.059
soldiers , um . OK .

34:24.339 --> 34:26.339
I think , I think we're getting the

34:26.339 --> 34:28.395
hooked . Thank you all very much for

34:28.395 --> 34:27.739
your time . Again , I'll , I'll do a

34:27.739 --> 34:30.458
plug for the H2F symposium in May in ,

34:30.499 --> 34:32.443
uh , in Hampton Roads or Hampton ,

34:32.539 --> 34:34.761
Virginia . Uh , thank you very much for

34:34.761 --> 34:35.408
