The Problem

658,000+ days are lost every year

due to rising obesity among active-duty military personnel, costing the Department of Defense (DoD) $103 million per year.29

Lost duty days continue to rise exponentially due to various underlying health conditions that have gone unidentified and unmeasured30. Owed to a lack of adequate physical activity, these cases are often expressed through such afflictions as obesity, musculoskeletal injuries (MSKIs), and diabetes.*

If we don’t work to build a healthy foundation for today’s young people, both the military and our nation will pay the price tomorrow. — Richard R. Jeffries, Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy (Retired) and former Medical Officer of the U.S. Marine Corps36
