The PSP team is there to guide, motivate, prepare and train CAF members

The Personnel Support Programs (PSP) team, a division of Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services (CFMWS), strives to have the fittest fitness professionals in the industry and they have proven it again this year during the Fitness for Operational Requirements of CAF Employment (FORCE) Evaluation.

Every year, CFMWS fitness and reconditioning employees are required to complete the FORCE Evaluation, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) physical employment standard related to common defence and security duties. The FORCE Evaluation provides a combined level of operational and health related fitness, based on age and sex. Those who score above average on their fitness profile can get special recognition through the Incentive Program. The program has four tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.

The PSP team is there to guide, motivate, prepare and train CAF members to be ready to handle the demands, both physical and mental, of their military jobs. They are often onboard ships, out in the field and working closely with military members to make sure they are ready to accomplish every task, exercise and mission. In that respect, PSP personnel has to maintain an exemplary physical fitness standard, fixed at a minimum of Bronze at the FORCE Evaluation.

Achieving Platinum is an honour reserved for the top 0.1% of the CAF. Leading by example is important in the eyes of CAF members and the PSP team makes every effort to not disappoint. This year, 54 members of the team achieved Platinum.

Bravo Zulu to PSP staff members and keep up the good work!
