Health, Well-being, and Readiness Across the Services: A Review of the Current Literature , December 10 , 2025
From the report: “Given the complexity of Service member and military community readiness, health, and well-being, achieving holistic health and well-being requires that leaders, health promotion and integrated primary prevention advocates, and policymakers develop strategies to address modifiable fitness, health, and well-being behaviors, practices, and beliefs that have been demonstrated to support Force protection. There is a need for a multifaceted and holistic approach to military readiness that addresses physical, environmental, financial, medical and dental, nutritional, psychological, social, and spiritual health needs of both the Force at large as well as individual Service members and the communities that support them. This literature review was developed through the lens of health and fitness as an eight-domain framework, as described in the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction (CJCSI) 3405.01, Chairman’s Total Force Fitness Framework, and highlights the interrelatedness of these eight domains, wherein health, fitness, and well-being specific to an individual domain can impact these attributes within the other domains. Moreover, while military branches may differ in culture as well as occupational demands and risks, most of the factors aligned with with these domains are universal, with evidence to support their vital nature in both military and civilian populations. ”
