How often should Soldiers evaluate their physical readiness?

Soldiers should evaluate their physical readiness regularly throughout their training program to ensure they are meeting the required physical standards and adapting their training as necessary. This continuous assessment allows Soldiers to track their progress, identify areas that require improvement, and adjust their training plan to accommodate any changes in physical condition or training goals. Regular evaluations help prevent injuries and promote overall physical fitness by ensuring that training remains effective and appropriate for individual needs.

Evaluating physical readiness on a less frequent basis, such as monthly, weekly, or quarterly, may not provide the timely feedback needed to optimize performance and maintain readiness. Regular assessments support ongoing development and help in maintaining a higher level of physical preparedness, which is critical in both training and combat situations.
