What is the primary objective of PRT?

The primary objective of Army Physical Readiness Training (PRT) is to prepare Soldiers for combat readiness. This encompasses developing the physical fitness required to ensure Soldiers can perform their duties effectively in a combat environment. PRT emphasizes a holistic approach that includes strength, endurance, flexibility, and coordination, all of which contribute to a Soldier's overall readiness for the physical demands of their role.

While improving flexibility, enhancing recreational fitness, and focusing on endurance are components of a comprehensive fitness program, they do not encapsulate the main goal of PRT. The emphasis on combat readiness ensures that Soldiers are not only fit for routine activities but also prepared for the unpredictable and physically demanding tasks they may face in the field. The PRT program is structured to build the resilience and physical capabilities necessary for mission success, making combat readiness the cornerstone of its objective.
