Fund Human Performance Program (HPP) capacity and capability commensurate with its Active Component counterparts. This program is designed to optimize and sustain performance, readiness, and longevity for special operations mission requirements by improving all 5 human performance domains (physical, cognitive, psychological, social and spiritual).

Background. ANG Guardian Angel (GA) and Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) units require rehabilitation and recovery equipment to support emerging human performance optimization (HPO) programs and associated trainers. Special Warfare Airmen have long lacked progressive methods of fitness, rest, and rehabilitation of injuries and combat fatigue sustained while executing or training for missions consistent with other special operations forces. Injuries and combat fatigue negatively impact the health and readiness of our Battlefield Airmen and result in excessive and unnecessary lost workdays impacting mission-ready status. The current medical system does not provide a detailed initial medical screening for special operators, nor does it address past injuries and structural concerns. Each of the three GA squadrons require two sensory deprivation pods, three cranial electrotherapy devices, one infrared recovery unit, one anti-gravity cardio rehabilitation unit, one athlete data management software system, and one low-impact cardio unit. Each of the 16 TACP squadrons require 60 tailored Human Performance Programs, 60 vital sign monitoring systems, 60 vital fluid monitoring systems, and 60 full body performance kits.
