Abstract
ABSTRACTFitness and health care have traditionally had a major focus in the military and will continue to be an important focus for the medical community throughout the 21st century. The challenges of meeting comprehensive mental and physical care for service members are many, especially in this era of persistent conflict. We must clearly define what those fitness components will be, how they will be assessed as an individual measure, as well as how it will be applied to the community at large. How will it be “trained” and who determines and what is the “end state” are only some of the tasks ahead. The Department of Defense (DoD) will be an active participant in these discussions as we forge ahead. Effective, well-informed guidance from our senior leaders is paramount to the success of this initiative and ensures that it becomes integrated into the entire life cycle of our service members.
