From the foreword: ""The Drillmaster of Valley Forge"-Baron Von
Steuben-correctly noted in his "Blue Book" how physical
conditioning and health (which he found woefully missing when he
joined Washington's camp) would always be directly linked to
individual and unit discipline, courage in the fight, and victory
on the battlefield. That remains true today. Even an amateur
historian, choosing any study on the performance of units in
combat, quickly discovers how the levels of conditioning and
physical performance of Soldiers is directly proportional to
success or failure in the field. In this monograph, Dr. Whitfield
"Chip" East provides a pragmatic history of physical readiness
training in our Army. He tells us we initially mirrored the
professional Armies of Europe as they prepared their forces for war
on the continent. Then he introduces us to some master trainers,
and shows us how they initiated an American brand of physical
conditioning when our forces were found lacking in the early wars
of the last century. Finally, he shows us how we have and must
incorporate science (even when there exists considerable debate )
to contribute to what we do-and how we do it-in shaping today's
Army. Dr. East provides the history, the analysis, and the
pragmatism, and all of it is geared to understanding how our Army
has and must train Soldiers for the physical demands of combat."
