FM 7-22 is the Army's Physical Readiness Training book but understand that this FM does not limit the unit's of doing other exercises. But it should be utilized because it incorporates movements geared towards tactical movements and outlines progressional principles which can be very instrumental when enhancing physical readiness.
PRT comes in different forms - deadlifts, long/short distance runs, KB training, weightlifting, powerlifting, stretching and mobility work.

Before we get stronger or faster - movement pattern needs to be analyzed and weak areas need to be addressed and worked on.
FM 7-22 is a guideline NOT a regulation. It outlines what we need to focus on depending on our mission. Precision, progression and integration is a THING! Not just an Army thing but principles that program design follows for tactical athletes. You don't have to do every single exercise nor do you have to only do these exercises in FM 7-22 but you SHOULD understand that these movements and exercises are put together because it is in line with how a tactical athlete moves.

    Historically and habitually the RC forces require significant post-mob training to be ready prior to execute global requirements. On average, National Guard BCTs spend about 100 days at the post-mobilization site, leaving less than optimal BOG time. Regardless of how or when readiness is generated, the readiness requirements are the same; it is a matter of shifting the allocated resources from one side of the training spectrum to the other, mathematically speaking, to generate more readiness during pre-mobilization. However, both training spectrums are governed by different funding sources, codes, and statutory laws, making it difficult to re-allocate…

    Speed and agility are often used on the touch field, and a lack of these qualities will result in less ground cover during game play, and an inability to excel. Agility, “the ability to change position of the body quickly and precisely and still remain balance”, and speed, or anaerobic endurance, “the ability to put body parts into motion quickly and sustain high intensity efforts”, are closely related. Without speed, one cannot be agile. Therefore it was chosen to group these two skills and train them…

    This is a rebuttal to the nonrec I received last Tuesday. The nonrec states that I do not meet my OIC's physical fitness standards in order to be promoted. It does not exactly state it, but I know that he is referring to my 2nd class PFT. His "standard" for promotion as stated by the corporals a couple weeks ago while passing word was that anyone that does not have a 1st class PFT or fails the rifle range will not be looked at for promotion. Although, this standard is now easily achievable for me, it was not the standard for recommendation when I ran my PFT back in April.…
