Completed and on-going work is reviewed only from an overall standpoint in terms of feasibility, compatibility with other work, or effectiveness in meeting requirements of expected results.
  1. GUIDELINES
Guidelines consist of basic DoD, DON, CNIC, and local policies, procedures and regulations; however, the size and diversity of the program, and the presence of unusual factors, create gaps in the applicability of these guidelines. The incumbent has considerable authority for using judgment in interpreting and adapting guidelines and the supervisor's instructions to the requirements of specific fitness activities. When necessary, the incumbent creates and recommends additions or amendments to guidelines as the result of evaluation of program results and the determination of specific needs for local command, as well as for installation wide fitness programs.

The participant population is within the small/medium, large category and the presence of one or more commands, general official and high ranking government officials further complicates the program.
  1. SCOPE AND EFFECT
This program has a direct impact on military retention, readiness, health, and welfare. The diversity, volume and variety of activities exceed a conventional basic program. On a daily basis, the work involves the

application of set standards to overall program planning and to the needs of specific fitness projects; evaluating program effectiveness against established criteria and participant interests and needs; and analyzing and finding solutions to program problems and questions. The work effects command and departmental activities and operations.
  1. PERSONAL CONTACTS
