Holistic Health and Fitness

FM 7-22 replaced the old physical readiness training manual with the Holistic Health and Fitness system. It covers physical, nutritional, mental, spiritual, and sleep readiness, plus how to build and run a unit physical readiness program. Changes have been issued against it since publication, so download the current file rather than a saved copy.

Holistic Health and Fitness Testing

ATP 7-22.01 carries the administration and evaluation procedures for the Army's fitness tests, including the Army Fitness Test, the Occupational Physical Assessment Test, and the Combat Water Survival Test. The March 2026 edition replaced the October 2020 version. Use it for test administration questions; FM 7-22 remains the training system.

Standards of Medical Fitness

AR 40-501 sets the medical fitness standards for accession, retention, and separation, and it is the basis for physical profiles. Leaders use it to understand what a profile means and what it does not. Medical providers own the determinations; leaders own the accommodation and the training plan.
