What is one goal of the ABCP?

One of the primary goals of the Army Body Composition Program (ABCP) is to enable Soldiers to meet body fat standards. This program is designed to ensure that all Soldiers maintain a healthy body composition that aligns with military standards. Maintaining proper body fat levels is crucial not only for individual health but also for unit readiness and overall effectiveness within the Army. By focusing on achieving and sustaining body fat standards, the ABCP supports the overall mission and performance of Soldiers, fostering a culture of fitness and discipline.

The program includes guidance and resources aimed at helping Soldiers achieve these standards through education, physical training, and healthy lifestyle choices. Encouraging Soldiers to reach and maintain appropriate body fat levels helps improve their physical fitness, enhances their ability to perform military duties, and ultimately contributes to the Army’s operational readiness.
