  • Implement performance optimization strategies aligned with the five H2F readiness domains: physical, mental, nutritional, sleep, and spiritual.
  • Advise unit leadership using evidence-based approaches to reduce injuries, enhance recovery, and improve overall unit performance.
  • Utilize CIMT-developed tools and data systems to track, analyze, and improve soldier performance outcomes.
  • Support improvements in ACFT performance, resilience, and holistic readiness across the force.

  • Additional Requirements:
    • U.S. Citizenship.
    • Ability to pass a background check and drug screening.
