Why
is physical
activity important to you?
Military leaders have always recognized that the
effectiveness of Soldiers depends largely on
their physical condition. Full spectrum
operations place a premium on the Soldier's
strength, stamina, agility, resiliency, and
coordination. Victory—and even the Soldier's
life—so often depend upon these factors. To
march long distances in fighting load through
rugged country and to fight effectively upon
arriving at the area of combat; to drive
fast-moving tanks and motor vehicles over rough
terrain; to assault; to run and crawl for long
distances; to jump in and out of craters and
trenches; and to jump over obstacles; to lift
and carry heavy objects; to keep going for many
hours without sleep or rest—all these activities
of warfare and many others require superb
physical conditioning.
Being "combat-ready"
·
These activities are no
longer limited to combat arms Soldiers. From the
outset of Operation Iraqi Freedom and the
assault on the 507th Maintenance
Company (and the abduction of PFC Jessica Lynch)
the need for every Soldier to be “Combat Ready”
has never been more apparent.
·
Soldiers need to prepare
for combat the way athletes train for
competition
·
Every Soldier is required
to move into and out of cover and concealment,
crouch, run, move around, over, and under
obstacles, sprint, jump, demonstrate explosive
power and landing.
