How often should unit leaders conduct physical readiness assessments as per TC 7-22.7?

Unit leaders should conduct physical readiness assessments regularly, ideally every six months, according to TC 7-22.7. This frequency ensures that leaders can effectively monitor and evaluate the physical fitness levels of their soldiers over time. By conducting assessments biannually, unit leaders can identify trends, address any issues early, and implement appropriate training interventions to enhance overall unit readiness.

Additionally, this timing allows for adequate preparation and adjustment in soldiers’ training programs and maintains a consistent routine that fosters accountability. Regular assessments also help in detecting any physical readiness deficiencies, allowing soldiers to set and achieve fitness goals within a structured timeline that reflects both individual and collective unit readiness.
