💪 H2F stands for Holistic Health and Fitness, and it's the Army's system for reimagining how Soldiers approach their health, readiness, and performance.

Here's a breakdown:

📍 The Core Idea
H2F is changing the Army's culture of health and fitness to help meet the demands of modern combat. It empowers and equips Soldiers to take charge of their health, fitness, and well-being, optimizing individual performance while preventing injury or disease.

📍 The Model
Modeled after Special Forces and professional and collegiate athletics, H2F moves away from a one-size-fits-all approach and acknowledges that every Soldier is unique and different units have different missions.

📍 The Five Domains
H2F takes a holistic approach by addressing five readiness domains: physical, mental, nutrition, sleep, and spiritual. The program is built on the understanding that each domain impacts the others, so Soldiers need education and resources to maximize performance on and off the battlefield.

➡️ Follow along with Sgt. 1st Class Abel Aungst as he explores what H2F looks like for him, as an athlete and Army Reserve Soldier.

Congratulations to Maj. Hedrick Cintron, our USARC H2F System Manager, and Maj. Aaron Dunn (USARC G-33 section) for their first-place gold medal finishes at the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation Atlanta Fall International Open.

“The physical domain in H2F is simple: find something, anything, that is physical, you enjoy doing, and has some sort of community (spiritual domain). Something you aren't doing alone,” Cintron explains. “That shared suffering, learning, and growing — very similar to basic training and deployments, that is where lifelong friendships are made."

“We all leave our titles at the door, and that builds a unique community that extends well beyond the gym," says Cintron. "Having another active competitor right here at headquarters keeps us both accountable. We analyze each other's matches and push the pace. It's good to have that brotherhood right down the hall."
Join us in recognizing their hard work and success.
