Design, implement, and teach a cohesive, comprehensive strength and conditioning program for TACP personnel across a wide range of ability levels.

Provide an initial performance evaluation within one week of a member's request; complete a needs analysis identifying deficits, goals, and risk factors; and build a tailored program spanning rehabilitation, performance training, strength and conditioning, and rehabilitation.

Deliver individualized training programs no later than 14 calendar days after evaluation, created alongside the Physical Therapist where applicable, with a focus on long-term, holistic health — including nutrition and recovery (rest, sleep, and mobilization).

Screen for factors affecting performance and readiness — flexibility and mobility, muscular strength and endurance, cardiovascular fitness, and body composition — to inform programming.

Implement neck and spine strengthening protocols designed to enhance physical capacity and durability for TACP operators.

Meet individually with each operator at least semiannually to assess fitness and review goals; document outcomes and report trends to unit leadership.

Build rapport, motivate operators, and deliver briefings, educational sessions, and seminars on health, fitness, and physical performance.

Employ modern, evidence-based best practices and validated functional assessments, including approved third-party fitness and nutrition technologies.

Advise unit commanders on strength and conditioning matters; develop SOPs and identify program improvements. Assist with conditioning-equipment inventory and supply recommendations.
