An Army report released Dec. 10 said that soldiers are struggling with adequate sleep and healthy eating.
The report, which covered injuries, behavioral health, chronic disease, obesity, tobacco use, sleep disorders, hospital admissions, and other health measures, found that nearly 10% of the total force was suffering from health complications in 2014. Between active, National Guard, and Army Reserves, roughly 102,500 soldiers cannot currently deploy based on their health, according to Military Times.
One in 20 soldiers was prescribed a sleep aid, and the same ratio failed fitness tests last year. Additionally, the causes of injuries among soldiers typically included overexertion and falls.

Does this Army Health Report surprise you?

The overall state of health in the Army as outlined by this report is pretty poor. Lack of sleep, poor nutrition, tobacco use, non-deployables, clinically obese, injuries, etc, etc.
Is this evidence that the Triad of Performance is or isn't working? How many of you even are aware of the Triad of Performance?
