The Holistic Health and Fitness Management System (H2FMS): a modernised software capability for optimising soldier readiness and performance.

The Holistic Health and Fitness Management System (H2FMS) is a secure, cloud-based platform designed to assess, understand and improve soldier health, fitness and performance across five readiness domains: physical, mental, spiritual, nutritional and sleep. By leveraging automated support actions, domain-specific tools, role-based dashboards and integrated analytics, H2FMS empowers the interdisciplinary Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) Performance Teams (HPTs) to effectively develop, employ and retain talented soldiers within the US Army.H2FMS unifies data from advanced biometric technologies, performance assessments, self-reported psychometrics and existing systems, ensuring every soldier has on-demand access to HPT support through guided education, interactive coaching, expert-informed training and personalised biofeedback. The platform enhances awareness for individual soldiers, HPT staff and cadre/command teams, driving optimal resource allocation and enabling data-informed interventions that boost performance, reduce injuries, expedite rehabilitation and significantly enhance quality of life and service. H2FMS represents a cost-efficient strategy for scaling HPT access across the Total Army, providing an equitable framework that maximises individual and organisational return on investment.Critically, H2FMS aligns with the Army's modernisation and national defence objectives by supporting multidomain overmatch through superior human performance management. It advances the long-term goal of generating and maintaining a lethal, adaptable and enduring force. This review details the requirements for H2FMS capabilities and illustrates how it can guide optimisation strategies while creating institutional efficiencies essential for modern force management. Ultimately, H2FMS marks a strategic milestone investment in modernising the foundation of the Army's 'human advantage,' ensuring sustained effectiveness and resilience in current and future conflicts.
