Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness Directive
The Ready and Resilient Campaign is a far reaching and comprehensive
campaign to enhance individual and collective resilience in order to improve readiness
across the force. This campaign is integrating and synchronizing Army initiatives aimed
at improving physical, psychological and emotional health. The Comprehensive Soldier
and Family Fitness (CSF2) Program is a key component of the Army's Ready and
Resilient Campaign and is committed to developing an Army culture of total fitness and
increased psychological health.
This CSF2 Secretary of the Army Directive re-baselines the program and
supersedes all previous CSF2 Execution Orders, Fragmentary Orders and All Army
Activities. Your feedback as we develop the subsequent CSF2 Army Regulation
350-XX is welcomed. Army Regulation 350-XX will highlight upcoming improvements to
the program that will take it to the next level, to include an improved Global Assessment
Tool linked to a social media enabled interactive environment for self-development and
improvement.
As many of you already know, resilience training provides the skills which will
enable our Soldiers, Families and Department of the Army Civilians to make better life
decisions. Our aim is to prevent negative behaviors and provide better structure and
rigor in the application of the CSF2 Program.
We truly believe this program can assist you in improving and maintaining a Ready
and Resilient Soldier, Family and Unit. We trust our leaders to understand they must
lead from the front to create cohesive and resilient units and organizations. Army
Strong!

MEMORANDUM FOR SEE DISTRIBUTION
SUBJECT: Army Directive 2013-07 (Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness
Program)
1. By this directive, I formally establish the Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness
(CSF2) program as a key component of the Army's Ready and Resilient Campaign.
The CSF2 program will play a crucial role in developing a Total Army team of physically
healthy and psychologically strong Soldiers, their Families and Department of the Army
Civilians whose resilience and total fitness enable them to meet the Army's mission.
This directive and the accompanying enclosures provide the governing policy and
procedures for the CSF2 program.
2. The CSF2 program's mission is to improve the physical and psychological health
and resilience of Soldiers, their Families and Department of the Army Civilians, and to
enhance their performance by providing self-assessment and training capabilities
al.igned to five key functional areas-known as the "Five Dimensions of Strength."
These "Five Dimensions of Strength" are:
a. Physical. Performing and excelling in physical activities that require aerobic
fitness, endurance, strength, healthy body composition and flexibility derived through
exercise, nutrition and training.
b. Emotional. Approaching life's challenges in a positive, optimistic way by
demonstrating self-control, stamina and good character with one's choices and actions.
c. Social. Developing and maintaining trusted, valued relationships and friendships
that are personally fulfilling and foster good communication, including the ability to
comfortably exchange ideas, views and experiences.
d. Spiritual. Understanding one's purpose, core values, beliefs, identity and life
vision. These elements enable a person to build inner strength, make meaning of
experiences, behave ethically, persevere through challenges and be resilient when
faced with adversity. Participation in the spiritual dimension of the CSF2 program is
strictly voluntary.
e. Family. Being part of a family unit that is safe, supportive and loving, and that
provides the resources needed for all members to live in a healthy and secure
environment.
SUBJECT: Army Directive 2013-07 (Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness
Program)
3. The Army must embrace the concept of building and sustaining resilience as a
fundamental part of our profession and as a key component of readiness. The personal
engagement of all Army leaders, particularly senior Army leaders, is vital to achieving
this needed culture change. I am therefore assigning specific roles and responsibilities
to senior Army leaders for fielding, synchronizing and executing the CSF2 program as a
key component in driving this culture change. These roles and responsibilities are
defined in enclosure 1. Enclosures 2 through 7 address the Five Pillars of the CSF2
program, CSF2 training centers, training requirements, organizational requirements,
master resilience trainers, and reporting, respectively.
4. The Deputy Chief of Staff, G-3/5/7 is the proponent for this policy. The point of
contact for this directive is the Director, CSF2 Program, (703) 545-433.2.
5. This directive is effective immediately and supersedes ALARACTs 213/2009,
293/2009, 097/2010, 192/2010, 045/2011 and 086/2011. The Office of the Deputy
Chief of Staff, G-3/5/7 will incorporate its provisions into Army Regulation 350-XX
(Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness), which will be published within 1 year.
6. This directive is rescinded upon publication of Army Regulation 350-XX.
