The US Army has awarded Serco a significant contract to enhance troop readiness and performance through its Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) System. This program focuses on improving the physical, mental, nutritional, sleep, and spiritual wellbeing of soldiers to help them perform better in combat, reduce injuries, and speed up recovery after injuries.
As part of the deal, Serco will deploy over 350 Strength and Conditioning Coaches and Cognitive Performance Specialists across 45 Army brigades at 15 sites in the continental US. These services will be complemented by strategies and solutions provided by several nonprofit organizations and tech companies, including The Geneva Foundation, Resolution Think, HigherEchelon, and Hyperion Biotechnology.
The contract includes an eight-month base period with four additional years if extended. The total cost of the initiative could reach $247 million if all options are exercised.
Tom Watson, CEO of Serco North America, expressed pride in supporting the Army’s mission to improve soldier health and performance. “This is a tremendous growth opportunity for us, drawing on our extensive experience in human capital, training, and cognitive support for military personnel,” Watson said.
Serco has a history of collaborating with the US Armed Forces on various projects. Its previous work includes global logistics, military-to-civilian career transition programs, and mental health initiatives. The company has also been involved in combat-related projects such as anti-terrorism technology, network infrastructure, and unmanned surface vessel construction.
