Air Force Fitness Culture
The Air Force significantly overhauled the Air Force Fitness program in 2003 and released a new fitness AFI in January 2004. Since that time, Air Force leadership has reevaluated this program several times, resulting in multiple program updates. Overall, subjective and objective data reflect an improved fitness commitment across the Air Force. Unfortunately, after 61 operational months, it appears that the program remains short of accomplishing its primary goal of motivating all members to participate in a year-round physical conditioning program that emphasizes total fitness, to include proper aerobic conditioning, strength/flexibility training, and healthy eating. This PSP will evaluate the evolution of Air Force fitness and some options for reaching full program effectiveness.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Does the Intramural Sports Program at the United States Air Force Academy Build Character?
The use of sports to develop young men and women both physically and mentally has been a tradition in the United States for over one hundred years. It is seen as an excellent tool for developing self-confidence, building social skills, and developing character in its participants.1 But to a large extent, verifying these expectations, specifically the assumption that sports build character has been overlooked. If asked, a majority of people would most likely say that it is a fact-"sports build character."2 But is participation in sports really an effective mechanism for character development? Lately many researchers, to include Jennifer Beller, Sharon Stoll, Patricia Giebink, and Thomas McKenzie among others, have conducted a number of studies to determine if participation in sports, and specifically team sports, actually does develop character-and they see it differently.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Physical Fitness in the United States Air Force
The USAF implemented significant changes to its physical fitness program in 2004 upon the direction from General Jumper, AF Chief of Staff. Gen Jumper wanted to improve the program to be more compatible with the demands of being an expeditionary force. He made it clear that in addition to improving overall fitness levels, he wanted to change the AF's culture to include fitness as a way of life and make fitness part of every Airman's job requirement. This research project set out to explore whether or not the AF has reached its goals with the new fitness program and if not, make recommendations to improve. Information for this project came from many sources: personal interviews, informal polls, articles in numerous periodicals, unpublished papers and briefings used to obtain program approval, regulations from military branches and memorandums from Gen Jumper. Research showed that fitness levels improved from 2004 to 2005 and many units have made fitness part of their culture. But senior leadership will have to decide if the AF has done enough or if we need to continue to emphasize fitness activities. It appears that the AF's senior leadership is satisfied with the current condition of the fitness program.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Hand to Hand Combatives in the US Army
The Modern Army Combatives Program was adopted by the U.S. Army in 2000. The program is the culmination of a directive by the Commander of 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment in 1995 to improve the Army's older and unused combatives program. Modern Army Combatives is a ground based fighting system that teaches soldiers to close the gap between him or herself, gain dominance and finishes the fight. The program's roots are in Brazilian Jujitsu, but is this the right program for the average soldier on today's battlefield? The attempt to answer this question was conducted by first analyzing the Army's program, then examining the Marine Corps, the Air Forces, the Russian military, the Israeli military, and the Korean military programs. Each forces program was then compared to Modern Army Combatives. In order to support the thesis of this paper, surveys and interviews from various organizations within the Army were conducted and in-depth interviews with martial arts experts from outside the military were used to provide a greater depth to the research. The current program has set the stage very well for the Army's hand-to-hand training, but through the half a dozen changes recommend in the thesis it can only get better.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Physical Training Programs in Light Infantry Units
This thesis studies whether light infantry physical training (PT) programs include the combat focus necessary to prepare soldiers for the rigors of combat. United States Army physical training doctrine stresses the development of PT programs that enhance military skills essential to effective combat and duty performance. Programs must integrate the interactive components of strength, mobility, and endurance. Unit mission essential task lists (METLs) provide a finite number of wartime tasks. Examination of light infantry METLs, plus identification of supporting platoon and individual tasks, revealed the physically demanding tasks an infantryman performs on the battlefield. These were then analyzed to determine the demand required regarding the physical readiness components. Surveys determined the frequency and types of tasks executed during unit physical training PT. Those tasks executed most routinely in units were analyzed to determine their physical readiness component demands. This facilitated comparison between light infantry combat tasks and tasks present in unit PT programs. Results indicate that although strength and endurance are integral parts of light infantry PT programs, mobility is almost nonexistent. This critical component is the functional application of strength and endurance. Its omission from unit programs is a glaring weakness in preparing soldiers for the fluid and complex combat environment.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Physical Fitness and the 75th Ranger Regiment
This study attempts to determine how much each of the components of fitness; aerobic endurance, anaerobic and muscular endurance, strength, speed, coordination and flexibility are involved in the physically demanding tasks that a Ranger will most likely perform in combat. The extent to which each of the components of physical fitness are involved overall in the Ranger mission should be reflected in the type of physical training that the 75th Ranger Regiment conducts. The U. S. Army and its physical training manual, FM 21-20 and the 75th Ranger Regiment stress that the purpose of physical training is to help prepare soldiers for the rigor of combat. To ensure that this intent is met leaders must first understand the extent to which each of the components of physical fitness are involved in the mission before they can design a physical training program that helps meet the demands of combat. The results of this study indicate though the 75th Ranger Regiment maintains a high standard of physical fitness the physical training program, with its heavy emphasis on aerobic endurance, does not reflect the strength, flexibility, coordination and speed demands of combat.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
