ATP 7-22.02, Holistic Health and Fitness Drills and Exercises

Table of Contents show

ATP 7-22.02, Holistic Health and Fitness Drills and Exercises includes drills and exercises for individual and organizational physical training programs.

It is a companion to the physical readiness domain described in FM 7-22, Holistic Health and Fitness.

The purpose of this publication is to provide exercise standards for Soldiers and leaders who need them in order to develop physical training programs.

In situations where holistic health and fitness (H2F) resources are not available, Soldiers and units can use this content to standardize training.

The drills and exercises in this publication are designed to support building physical readiness and meet physical fitness standards.

Testing standards are described in ATP 7-22.01 Holistic Health and Fitness Testing which describes the administration and evaluation procedures for the Occupational Physical Assessment Test (OPAT), Army Fitness Test (AFT), and Combat Water Survival Test (CWST).

The principal audience for doctrine is leaders at all organizational levels.

Leaders include officers, warrant officers, noncommissioned officers, and those Army civilians in leadership positions.

Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this publication.

Commanders, staffs, and subordinates at all levels ensure that H2F training programs are properly resourced and administered in accordance with requirements outlined in this ATP.

Commanders, staffs, and subordinates ensure that their decisions and actions comply with applicable United States, international, and in some cases host-nation laws and regulations.

Commanders at all levels ensure that their Soldiers operate in accordance with the law of war and the rules of engagement.
