Director's Letter
Dear Service Members, Partners, Collaborators, Stakeholders, and Friends:
Welcome to the website for Consortium for Health and Military Performance (CHAMP). CHAMP is dedicated to the health and performance of Service Members, their families, retirees, and all DoD personnel. We focus on holistic approaches to optimize Warfighter mission and family readiness through leadership, community engagement, education, and translation of human performance research. Our goals are to optimize the performance of individual Service Members and their units, and promote Total Force Fitness (TFF) as the overarching framework.
