for the physical demands of war, were sent to battle. The

early days of the Korean war were nothing short of

disastrous, as U.S. soldiers were routed by a poorly

equipped, but well-trained, North Korean People’s Army.

As American soldiers withdrew, they left behind

wounded comrades and valuable equipment their

training had not adequately prepared them to carry

heavy loads.

The costly lessons learned by Task Force Smith in

Korea are as important today as ever. If we fail to

prepare our soldiers for their physically demanding

wartime tasks, we are guilty of paying lip service to the

principle of “Train as you fight.” Our physical training

programs must do more for our soldiers than just get

them ready for the semiannual Army Physical Fitness

Test (APFT’).

FM 21 -20 is directed at leaders who plan and

conduct physical fitness training. It provides guidelines

for developing programs which will improve and maintain physical fitness levels for all Army personnel.

These programs will help leaders prepare their soldiers to meet the physical demands of war. This manual can

also be used as a source book by all soldiers. FM 21-20 was written to conform to the principles outlined in

FM 25-100, Training the Force.

The benefits to be derived from a good physical fitness program are many. It can reduce the number of

soldiers on profile and sick call, invigorate training, and enhance productivity and mental alertness. A good

physical fitness program also promotes team cohesion and combat survivability. It will improve soldiers’

combat readiness.
