Who is responsible for ensuring the safety of participants during physical training sessions?

The Force Fitness Instructor is primarily responsible for ensuring the safety of participants during physical training sessions. This role involves not only providing instruction and guidance on exercises but also assessing the physical capabilities and limitations of all participants. The instructor must implement safety protocols, identify potential hazards, and modify exercises as necessary to prevent injuries.

By maintaining a safe training environment, the Force Fitness Instructor can foster a culture of safety and wellness among participants. This includes ensuring that proper techniques are taught and monitored, providing appropriate warm-up and cool-down routines, and being aware of any medical conditions that might affect training.

While other roles such as the Platoon Commander and the Physical Training Leader may contribute to the overall training environment and organization, the detailed oversight and direct engagement with safety protocols primarily fall under the purview of the Force Fitness Instructor. The Unit Sergeant Major, while a leader within the chain of command, focuses more on broader unit management and does not engage with training on a day-to-day basis.
