https://freedomfitnessamerica.org/ started by Chris Reardon is a nonprofit dedicated to changing how the military develops all aspects of the warfighter. In an effort to engender preventative measures, unit fitness is combined with small group discussion of real world issues that help prepare the service member for difficulties they will face in life and during deployment.

Much of what the government does is reactionary (understatement). Freedom Fitness America (FFA) is proactive. Even in the early testing of this program they saw drastic reductions in suicidal ideation and sexual assault across the command. We need to see that people care. When we develop leaders instead of managers, troop welfare is a byproduct.

Troop welfare doesn’t mean giving them what they want. It’s about giving them what they NEED to be prepared, as Chris would say, “for the fight and life.” Check out the interview below!
