BOAR³ H²F Forza e condizionamento

The Army's H²F (holistic health and fitness) initiative focuses on improving and maximizing Soldiers' physical, mental, and spiritual health. With minimal direction and maximum dedication, the BOAR³ program was born. One of the first of its kind, the BOAR³ program will lead the nation in developing the framework for National Guard H²F programs to follow. 

Soldiers are highly entrusted to carry out some of the world’s most vigorous missions. As a force, these missions take drastic measures on the mind and body. Our program, BOAR³, constructs the foundation to maximize combat efficiency as tactical athletes. Soldiers’ must not only possess the physical prowess of BALANCE while operating in austere environments, but the skill to balance the mind, body, and soul.

The Citizen Soldier has a complex task of harmonizing a family, a civilian profession, and a military career that creates underlying issues. As these issues arise OPTIMIZATION becomes vital in every aspect of our soldiers’ service to effectively engage the use of their strengths and overcome weakness throughout. Soldiers’ will capitalize on their physical and mental strengths, while also learning effective techniques that enhances organizational readiness by improving their physical and mental shortcomings.

As tactical athletes ATHLETICISM will continuously be a work in progress to ensure their bodies are readily maintained on and off the battlefield. Unfortunately, we can’t always prevent the inevitable. However, it is our duty as an organization to help retain great soldiers by RECONDITIONING and REHABILITATING our state’s greatest assets. Identifying and improving the physical and mental blemishes in our armor are vital components of winning the Nation’s wars.

Inevitably, Soldiers’ selfless service produces wounds. Some wounds can’t be seen but can be detrimental to everyday lifestyles. These wounds can and will overwhelm our greatest warriors without hesitation. RESILIENCE is of the greatest counter measures in our arsenal that is often hard to implement and without proper training, commonly ineffective.

Our BOAR³ program is specifically designed to encompass all aspects of a warrior’s mind and body, ensuring our soldiers are taken care of near or a far.
