Family members play a significant role in a Soldier's life by supporting their resilience and well-being. That is why they now have the opportunity to participate in the Comprehensive Soldier Fitness program by taking the Global Assessment Tool and self-development modules.
CSF is a holistic fitness program for Soldiers, Family Members and Army Civilians that is designed to enhance performance and build resilience. Participation in the CSF program begins with the Global Assessment Tool, an online, confidential survey that measures a person's level of strength in four dimensions: social, spiritual, emotional and family.
The GAT is available to Family Members now by visiting Comprehensive Soldier Fitness Web site at http://www.army.mil/csf/. Once the GAT is complete, Family Members will be able to immediately access the tools and training designed to enhance their resilience.
The Army worked in conjunction with national experts along with military psychologists to establish the program and develop self-directed training designed for Family Members.
Soldiers received initial access to the GAT and the online self-development training modules in October 2009.
