After COVID-19 delay, Marine Corps adds more athletic trainers, force fitness instructors February 26 Marines participate in Force Fitness Instructor Course culminating event at The Basic School, Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia., February 12, 2018. (Staff Sgt. Melissa Marnell/Marine Corps) As the Marine Corps pushes its physical standards to focus beyond the physical fitness test , key positions such as athletic trainers and force fitness instructors are both the overseers and ambassadors for a new, total-package approach. While some units have access to an athletic trainer and fitness instructor, the Corps is not yet at full capacity. In 2020 COVID-19 events curtailed some of the work by a year or more to reach the full operational capability, but that has been reset and the Marines expect to have a full contingent of both positions by mid-2023.

Spiritual fitness relates to an individual’s ability to develop core beliefs, principles and values to guide them throughout their lives.
If ever a New Year’s Day brought a need for the reset button, it was January 1, 2021. Last year was wrought with a fatal and global pandemic, financial chaos, political bedlam, and wide social upheaval.
Maintaining physical, mental, and spiritual health over the past year has been just as much of a challenge for our Service members as it has for the population as a whole, according to numerous experts.
So, it makes sense that from a military standpoint, the concept of Total Force Fitness (TFF) has been in need of a re-introduction as we sail into February, with the promises of new COVID-19 vaccines and the peril of new strains of the virus. The TFF concept reconsiders what it means to be healthy beyond the typical focus on physical fitness and nutrition. It looks at the “whole self” and the aspects of overall health key to performance and battle-readiness.
