The Air Force has been constantly evolving. With the many changes and the Expeditionary Air Force structure put in place, it is more important now than ever that the Air Force has a physical fitness program to keep its members healthy and productive. By doing this, it can ensure that the efforts put forth in completing the Air Force mission are successful while keeping the organization at the highest level of readiness possible. This thesis looks at what the Air Force values in having a fitness program. These values are taken from documentation that is the backbone of the Air Force mission. Using these values, fitness programs can be evaluated to determine what kind of program would be best for the Air Force by including as many of the valued characteristics as possible. The results of this study show that programs similar to the Army's fitness program would be best and include most of the desired characteristics. This should be an important consideration when determining what type of fitness program the Air Force needs.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
