What does Remedial Physical Conditioning aim to achieve?

Remedial Physical Conditioning is designed specifically to assist service members who are not meeting established physical standards. Its primary goal is to identify deficiencies and provide targeted training to help these individuals improve their physical capabilities. This approach ensures that all service members can achieve the required fitness levels necessary for their duties, ultimately enhancing overall readiness and effectiveness. The focus is on addressing specific areas where a service member may struggle, enabling them to reach the standards expected within military service.

In contrast, maintaining physical fitness relates more to ongoing training for those who already meet standards, while promoting recreational activities and encouraging competitive sports are not the main focuses of remedial programs. These do not directly address the needs of individuals requiring assistance to meet their fitness requirements.
