U.S. Military's POTFF Program Aims to Extend Service Life of Personnel
The U.S. military is focusing on extending the service life of its personnel through the Preservation of the Force and Family (POTFF) program. This initiative, led by John Doolittle, a retired U.S. Navy SEAL, aims to optimize human performance across physical, psychological, cognitive, social, and spiritual domains. The program embeds care professionals directly into operational units to provide proactive support, reducing stigma and increasing access to care. This approach is designed to prevent issues before they arise, similar to how the military maintains its equipment. The program has shown improvements in resilience and operational longevity, with some operators continuing active missions into their late 40s and 50s.
