BREAKING DOCTRINE: Updated Soldier & Family Fitness Reg

New today on the Army Publishing Directorate website, a new AR 350-53 (Comprehensive Sodlier & Family Fitness) is out. This is a revision, not a new publication.

Also, according to a TRADOC Twitter account, a new FM 3-60 (Targeting) should be out today, but it has not hit the web site.

• Discusses the new Human Resources Command policy for awarding eight promotion points to E–5 Master Resilience Trainer graduates (para 4–3).

• Mandates the appointment on additional duty orders of one Army school graduated Master Resilience Trainer for every company-designated organization and one Master Resilience Trainer for every 250 Army civilian employees in predominately civilian staffed Army organizations (paras 1–5c(1) through 1–5c(2)).

• Requires the annual completion of the Global Assessment Tool for Soldiers (paras 1–5c(4) and 3–1c).
