Pentagon demands human performance data from services in fitness overhaul
BLUF – The Pentagon has directed the military services to provide data on their human performance programs as part of a yearlong effort to create a unified “Warfighter Performance Optimization” strategy focused on physical, cognitive, mental, and nutritional readiness, with plans for common metrics, wearable technology integration, and a department-wide performance dashboard. For Navy Medicine, the initiative could expand the role of medical personnel in collecting and analyzing readiness data, managing brain health and cognitive performance programs, supporting human performance optimization efforts, and helping shape evidence-based standards for force health and readiness across the Department of Defense.
