SUPPORTING STATEMENT - PART A
(ArmyFit –0702-XXXX)
Need for the Information Collection
This collection supports the mission of the Army Resiliency Directorate (ARD), HQDA G-1, to improve the readiness of the force and quality of life for the soldiers. ARD owns the Army Fitness Platform (ArmyFit). ArmyFit hosts the Global Assessment Tool (GAT), which is an assessment promoting self-development through its user feedback and enables the creation of a customized ArmyFit profile that directs individuals to tailored self-development and training resources for soldiers, their families, and Army civilians.
The Family GAT is a self-appraisal survey for assessing an individual’s fitness in dimensions of strength: physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and family. It is a tool for building resilience. The survey is taken by all Soldiers and offered to family members, Department of the Army (DA) Civilians, and contractors.
The prescribing authorities for this collection are 10 United States Code (U.S.C.) 3013, Secretary of the Army; Department of Defense (DoD) Directive 6490.02E, Comprehensive Health Surveillance; DoD Instruction 6490.03, Deployment Health; Army Regulation (AR) 350-53, Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness; AR 600-63, Army Health Promotion; and Executive Order (E.O.) 9397 (Social Security Number [SSN]), as amended; Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Health Affairs Memo, Alteration of Soldier Fitness Tracker (SFT)
