It's often unauthorized.  What pros and cons do you see about this policy?  Do you believe this can help Soldiers with fitness or morale?

The Army did a survey years ago concerning injuries from doing warm up and cool down exercises before and after PT and not doing them.  In the end there was not significant evidence to show that not doing warm up exercises caused more injuries than doing warm up exercises.  Leave it to the command team but they need to monitor it closely and keep records of all injuries to create a history that can be studied.

That reminds me of all the times I've heard someone say they feel their performance during runs is better after static stretching compared to dynamic stretching, but science says the opposite is true.
