Army Medicine Campaign Plan

​

In support of the Army Medicine Campaign Plan , Physical Performance Service Line (PPSL) and Army Public Health Center (APHC) Injury Prevention have joined efforts to optimize readiness by linking military injury and physical performance research to policy, public health, public affairs, and health communications communities in order to bring injury prevention and physical performance science to those in the field.
