5 THE MEF CONCEPT Soldiers require high levels of strength, power, speed & agility to carry out their mission in today s modern combat environment. Not only has their equipment changed, but also the physiological demands placed on their bodies. To modernize the US Army, we must embrace the concept that a Soldier is a Tactical Athlete. As defined by the foremost subject matter expert in this area, the National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA), the tactical athlete is a Soldier that engages in combat and requires high levels of strength, speed, power, and agility. This Soldier must be both aerobically and anaerobically fit to meet the demands of combat in order to defeat the enemy. Old style PT and many modern variations do not address this demand due to limitations in the time required to achieve a cardiovascular workout. Contained within this presentation are recommendations for establishing a new training protocol that will address the issue of Soldier fitness, both individually and in a group setting.

7 BACKGROUND The Mission Essential Fitness (MEF) program s primary purpose is to develop operational fitness for military personnel. When developing a comprehensive strength and conditioning program, the strength & conditioning specialist must consider the physical demands of operational related activities. There is a purpose to the design and it is not a randomly thrown together workout with no quantifiable measures. Throughout history, warriors and soldiers physically trained by performing various strength and conditioning exercises. Eventually this evolved into athletic events, thus the first athletes were Soldiers. Today our Soldiers have evolved into tactical athletes. When preparing for competition, athletes dedicate many long, hard hours to physical preparation. All successful athletes commit their mind, body, and spirit to the task. This level of commitment includes practicing sport skills, improving strength, conditioning, nutrition, and wellness. Typically, the tactical athlete devotes time to improving operational skill without much focus on improving operational strength, conditioning, and nutrition. The MEF program addresses these needs. By training Soldiers in the same fashion as professional athletes, the MEF program offers the same expertise in developing the tactical athlete for mission related duties.
8 Why is this important?
9 Unacceptable Statistics In an APFT administered on 15 August 2006 the following results were reported: 105 Soldiers Tested 72 Passed 33 Failed This is a 31.4% failure rate. Average age: years old. 13 Female Soldiers and 20 Male Soldiers failed the APFT. These numbers are unacceptable.
10 This is what MEF prepares a Soldier to do SPC Taylor Jordan lifts weights in the rain at Camp Restrepo, Afghanistan
11 Mission Essential Fitness (MEF) Army Force Generation Model (ARFORGEN) To be effective a Functional Fitness Program should include several different elements: Specific to the Mission All training should be mission specific, working to develop and maintain mission specific strength. Integrated It should include a variety of exercises that work on power, strength, speed, and agility. Increases Core Stability Core stability is crucial for any mission. A stable core allows for a more efficient transfer of power from the lower to upper body and an increased ability to maintain correct athletic posture over long periods of time. Progressive Progressive resistance training steadily increases the power/strength demand from workout to workout. While most people are aware of the need for this in relation to traditional power/strength training, it is sometimes overlooked in functional training. For functional training it also means varying speed of movement to make it more mission specific. Periodized For professional soldiers and tactical athletes, functional training needs to fit into their training cycle. In broad terms this means that the program will vary throughout the year to achieve optimal results, peaking for deployment and maintaining their power and strength while in theater. Usually there are four (4), twelve (12) week training cycles per year with one (1) week rest between each cycle.
12 Mission Essential Fitness (MEF) Army Force Generation Model (ARFORGEN) s Functional Training has its origins in rehabilitation, where physical therapists would develop exercises to duplicate what a patient did in their daily lives at work or home in order to return after injury or surgery. Functional training is the utilization of weight bearing activities to target core muscles of the abdomen and lower back to allow the individual to perform daily activities more easily and without injury. Functional Exercises lead to better muscular balance and joint stability, possibly impacting the number of injuries sustained and a Soldier s performance in the demands of combat. Functional exercises use training that emphasizes the body's natural ability to move forward/backward, side-to-side, up/down and rotationally to mimic the movements of that a Soldier is required to make in combat situations. For a tactical Soldier those movements must replicate an unbalanced movement pattern due to a heavy ruck, while maintaining explosive, agile movements required in urban environments.

15 Exercise Selection is the Key
16 Training is Specific Should Soldier training be specific or non specific as in the current, fad, cross training programs? We have had many conversations recently with Soldiers that training should be non specific. By non specific, the idea is that a program is not developed, but rather a random assortment of exercises are performed in a random order. The thought is that Soldiers need to move in many different directions in quick order such as up or down, forward or backward, and side to side. Is this truly non specific? Remember, the #1 rule of training is training must be specific to the task that one is asked to complete or compete in and non specific training would be more applicable to a definition of cross training, however, cross training produces a mediocre performance in specific demands.
17 Training is Specific Given that a Soldier needs to move up or down, forward or backward, and side to side, one specific program that we could apply would be for football players at the high school, college, or pro level. The program for training is very specific involving reps, poundage based on percentages, as well as speed & agility work, coupled with endurance, plyometrics and core training. The difference is that the specific training is measurable and repeatable, whereas the non specific training is not. This is a quote from one of the premier cross trainers, We see the most gains out of those who are traditionally the weakest performers. It takes nothing to produce results from a de conditioned or never conditioned person the true strength coach can produce results in highly trained individuals.
18 MEF Fort Bliss Study The Department of Human Performance conducted a 4 week study comparing Army Standard PT to MEF Training utilizing 24 active duty Soldiers broken into two groups of 12 Soldiers. Both groups went through the same pre and post test and the results are presented on the following slide. The differences are significant and achieved in 12 actual training sessions with no running for the MEF group.

22 The MEF formula is based on: MEF Method to the Madness Upper body exercise Lower body exercise Ab or core exercise Olympic movements count for both upper and lower body exercise All exercises and proper form are demonstrated before the circuit begins. Rotation 1: 1 minute per exercise with 30* seconds rest between stations Rotation 2: 1 minute per exercise with 20* seconds rest between stations Rotation 3: 1 minute per exercise with 10* seconds rest between stations *rest periods may vary depending on the skill level of the participants and degree of difficulty desired. Large circuits will not complete more than one rotation due to the number of stations and will be 30 seconds rest between each station. Total circuit time from start to finish: 52 minutes.
23 Example Circuit
24 MEF Facilities at Fort Bliss Fort Bliss has a one of a kind program in the US Army that is housed at Ironworks Gym East and West. These strength & conditioning centers mirrors what would be found at an NCAA Division I university. The program that it houses (MEF) started in July 2008 at Stout PFC and moved to these custom designed locations in October MEF originally started training Soldiers from the 4/1 AD before their deployment to Iraq and continues to train Soldiers from the 1 st Armored Division, 11 th ADA, and other services as needed. The MEF program employs certified professional strength & conditioning coaches who design strength & conditioning programs based on a Soldier s need. Not only do these professionals design the programs, but they lead the Soldiers in PT with groups as large as 300. The purpose in the program is to not only train the Soldiers in proper form and appropriate physical fitness, but to train them to train other Soldiers in the field as well. We see 1600 Soldiers on a daily basis engaging in this training in preparation for deployment.

28 Deployed Support While deployed, Soldiers can visit the following website to get new circuits to use for training: This website provides useful information about training and offers 52 weeks of circuits that can be adapted to whatever equipment is available wherever the Soldier is.
29 MEF Certification In teaching the Soldiers how to train each other in proper form and technique, we certify the Soldiers in Tactical Strength & Conditioning from the NSCA. Not only does this ensure that everyone is utilizing the same, proven methods, but it allows the Soldiers to build on their knowledge base and take this information to theater with them. The Soldiers are trained using TRX straps, conventional weight lifting apparatus, dumbbells, kettlebells, hoops, tires, bands, sledge hammers, agility ladders, hurdles, and so forth. The training utilizes items that can be found anywhere and does not require large expenditures of money to purchase pieces of equipment with a large foot print. By doing the training in house, using US ARMY personnel, we ensure that what is being taught is correct, current, and repeatable. In essence, we are the quality control that may not be found with external organizations.

31 Feedback Dr. Briggs The MEF training or functional training as it was called before we deployed was fantastic. At first glimpse, it would seem easy until one tries it. It can be a humbling experience at times. As a 1SG, I would have regular circuit sessions for my company. At first, Soldiers hated it, but eventually learned to respect it. During our last deployment to Iraq, my BDE had an AAB mission, but only after 2 months of full spectrum OPS. The usual gamut of expected injuries was minute or non existent. My 224 Soldier Company did not have any NBI's due to carrying heavy loads, dismounting/mounting vehicles, or even running PT on 1" gravel. I can't speak for the rest of the BN, but my medics running the aid station for the BN had a lot of free time to train and focus on trauma. They were not inundated by preventable injuries or overuse problems. The only difference in our physical training for this past deployment was the MEF. Kudos to you and your trainers. Also, the TRX system is fantastic to sustain a good level of fitness. N. Shaw MSG, USA Operations SGT 4 6 IN "Regulars!"
32 Feedback I had the opportunity of working out with 100 or so Soldiers for an hour today at the Ironworks Gym at Fort Bliss. It was by far the best workout for the Soldiers I have seen done in the US Army. They used 26 stations with 5 soldiers per station in a non stop rotation of 1 minute per station for 3 rotations. From tire flipping, sledge hammering, heavy ropes, sleds, weights, jumping, plyometrics, dumbbells, and TRX, to footwork drills, they hit it all. It was all about change of direction for different muscle groups, endurance, toughness and being a part of a team. Very well done. The gym set up looks like a NCAA Division 1 football program. The pace, the motivation, the training was a testament to not only get the Soldiers in better shape but brought them together to compete and fight to become better than they are. From 20 years in the game, I would highly recommend this program to your FOBs and bases here in the US. It s making the Soldiers Army Strong to compete against the world and win. Riki Ellison, Military Lobbyist, former NCAA and Super Bowl Champion
33 Feedback I have been doing the MEF two times a week for six months and have to say it is an experience. Day one I hated it why because it hurt and wore me out, six months later it still the same but I know it has helped me increase my APFT score by 26 points. You only get out of it what you put into it, there are no shortcuts and no pacing yourself it is all out. One of the great aspects of the MEF is that even those on profile can do it, the instructors will coach and modify it to the particular profile.
