    Holistic Health and Fitness, or H2F, was published at the beginning of October into Army Field Manual 7-22, which covers the force’s doctrine on physical readiness training, said Maj. Gen. Lonnie G. Hibbard, commander of the U.S. Army Center for Initial Military Training.

    • You are a service member with a “training” requirement (military training, National Training Center or Joint Readiness Training Center).
    •  You are a service member scheduled for “official TDY travel overseas.”
    •  You are a service member/military family who will PCS overseas.
    If you are in the above categories, you can book a COVID-19 test through the Keller Army Community Hospital Appointment Center at 845-938-7992 or 800-552-2907, from 7 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Read More
