proposed thesis statement: The consensus of what type of equipment requires the new ACFT design to provide structure will be the transition to what funding’s will need to logistically equip units and figure the procedures for availability to remote locations.
Subtopic 1- Process of ACFT equipment requirements
Supporting idea 1: What methodology did Army use to meet the physical fitness test standard
Supporting idea 2: What equipment’s does ACFT require to meet the Army standard
Supporting idea 3: The Army’s procedure for alternate event equipment’s to meet standards
Subtopic 2 – The methodology of logistics when implementing ACFT to units
Supporting idea 1: Army’s process for choosing venders for equipment
Supporting idea 2: Cost of equipment and shipment
Supporting idea 3: The mode of delivery (Rail, Sea, Rolling Stock)
Subtopic 3 – Equipment availability to remote locations
Supporting idea 1: Installation Property Book Office (IPBO) plan of access to dissemination to Direct Reporting Units (DRU)
Supporting idea 2: Facility requirement for equipment storage
Supporting idea 3: What alternates is there for remote locations
proposed conclusion: The Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) has been the Army’s test for record since 1980. As the Army chose Atlantic Diving Supply Inc. and Sorinex as vendors for projection of cost saving in the long term, due to current startup cost that are clear and tangible today. The development of ACFT expeditionary variant for Soldiers lacking access to include those who are assign in remote locations as substitutions that stress the same energy systems as the original ACFT. As the Army transition to the ACFT, it will not be easy but it is a process that will build Soldiers to become more combat efficient.
