When does the CG Personal Fitness Plan need to be completed?

The Coast Guard Personal Fitness Plan should be completed annually. This requirement is in place to ensure that personnel engage in regular assessments of their fitness levels and set goals for improvement. An annual plan allows service members to evaluate their physical fitness and develop a strategy that can adapt to their evolving fitness needs and career requirements over time.

This process is essential for maintaining operational readiness and ensuring that all members are physically fit to meet the demands of their duties. Completing the plan on an annual basis provides sufficient time for evaluation, planning, and implementation of fitness goals, while ensuring that all members are consistently working towards maintaining their health and fitness standards.
