The Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) Program is the multi-disciplinary integration of five domains of readiness - physical, nutritional, mental, spiritual, and sleep - specifically designed to improve operational performance, ensure Soldier deployability and well-being, and build resilience of our Force so that we can deploy anywhere in the world to shape,deter, fight, and win.

Our H2F staff culture encompasses a positive atmosphere in implementation of H2F's mission, a strong background in human performance, teamwork, trust, communication, andcontinual development of personnel to learn and evolve with the mission

MISSION

Your mission is our mission. To achieve your mission objectives, Soldier readiness stands at the heart of every operation. With your help, we will be able to make the Army Soldiers more ready than ever for obstacles you may encounter. We ask for your help communicating, encouraging, and being the utmost example of Solider Readiness. As a command team, your Soldiers will look to you to be prepared for the fight. When you see a gap in readiness or need for H2F services, reach out to the appropriate SME for consultation and activities. Without you utilizing the services and impressing upon your subordinates the urgency of Soldier readiness, our missision and subsequently your mission, will fall through the cracks.
