On this episode we're sitting down with three leaders from the Arctic Wolves: 1st Brigade, 11th Airborne Division. They have allowed units across their brigade to conduct "offset PT" which - importantly - is not just "reverse cycle PT" but rather a flexible approach to when physical training is conducted. Their initial pilot showed huge improvements not just in fitness, but across sleep, nutrition, and even social connections.
COL Christopher Brawley, the Brigade Commander, had already implemented this model successfully at 1st Ranger Battalion, so he knew the potential it presented to building trust and organizational performance.
CSM Jeremiah Waggoner, a multiple time Best Ranger competitor, was focused on the physical fitness expectations for the formation, as well as keeping NCOs in charge of leading training of all types.
Dr. Ellie Van Luit, the brigade's H2F Program Director, saw H2F's role as enabling and supporting this effort, but she emphasized that it was a brigade initiative, not an H2F initiative.
