Whom must you coordinate with to develop the structure of the FIP?

The appropriate choice for coordinating the development of the Fitness Improvement Program (FIP) structure is the installation commander. The installation commander is responsible for overseeing all operational activities on the installation, including fitness and recreation programs. This role includes ensuring that fitness initiatives align with the overall mission and goals of the installation. Coordinating with the installation commander ensures that any fitness programs are adequately resourced and supported at the leadership level, which is crucial for their success and sustainability.

While the fitness program manager, head of recreational activities, and base safety officer may have valuable insights and roles within their specific areas, it is the installation commander who has the authority and comprehensive perspective necessary to drive such program initiatives across all aspects of the base operations. The collaboration with the installation commander helps in aligning fitness strategies with broader health and wellness goals for personnel.
