What is the primary responsibility of a Command Fitness Leader (CFL)?

The primary responsibility of a Command Fitness Leader (CFL) is to oversee and manage the command fitness program. This role is critical in ensuring that the command's physical fitness standards are met and maintained, which includes implementing fitness education and training initiatives, providing guidance on fitness-related issues, and fostering a culture of fitness within the command.

In this capacity, the CFL develops and administers fitness assessments, manages fitness training programs, and serves as a resource for personnel looking to improve their physical readiness. This level of oversight ensures that all personnel have access to necessary resources and support to meet their fitness goals and adhere to the Navy's fitness standards.

While managing fitness challenges and competitions is a component of promoting physical fitness, it falls under the broader umbrella of overall program management. Conducting medical evaluations of personnel pertains more to medical officers or personnel specialists rather than the CFL's focus on fitness program management. Creating individual fitness plans for all personnel is a supportive activity that may be facilitated by the CFL, but it is not the primary responsibility; the CFL’s main focus is on managing the overall fitness program of the command.
