在国防部内部设立新的作战人员优化局后，五角大楼宣布将组建一个联邦咨询委员会，就影响部队表现和健康的问题提供建议。
After creating a new directorate on warfighter optimization within the Department of Defense, the Pentagon announced it will form a federal advisory committee to weigh in on issues affecting troop performance and health.
根据周二发布的一份联邦公告，这项耗资140万美元的委员会将“专门关注人类表现”，就提升机能、对抗军事服役带来的身体、心理和情感负担（统称为“操作员综合征”），以及预防身体损伤和作战压力提供指导和见解。
According to a Federal notice Tuesday, the $1.4 million committee will focus “exclusively on human performance,” providing guidance and insight on improving function, combating the physical, mental and emotional tolls of military service known collectively as “operator syndrome,” and preventing physical injuries and operational stress.
公告称：“该委员会将作为一种高影响力、低成本的机制，为[国防部]争取在战士健康与表现交汇点上全国最杰出领导者的专业知识。”
“The Council will serve as a high-impact, low-cost mechanism for the [DoD] to secure the expertise of the nation’s foremost leaders at the nexus of warrior health and performance,” the announcement stated.
五角大楼今年早些时候在人事与备役副部长安东尼·塔塔的办公室内设立了作战人员表现优化处。该处旨在监督和协调各军种为提高部队战备状态和表现所做的努力。
The Pentagon established a Warfighter Performance Optimization division earlier this year within Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Anthony Tata’s office. It is intended to oversee and coordinate the individual services’ efforts to improve troops’ readiness and performance.
5月，国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯指示塔塔汇报各军种现有的优化举措，以制定一项全部门范围的表现优化计划。
In May, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directed Tata to report on existing optimization initiatives across the services to create a department-wide performance optimization plan.
赫格塞斯表示，他希望加快部署能够提升表现的技术——如可穿戴设备和其他分析工具——并专注于提升“认知表现作为战备的关键”。赫格塞斯写道：“通过建立在全方位部队体能(TFF)原则之上并对其进行现代化改造，WPO将提供一种统一的作战方法，以加速整个部队的战备、优势和巅峰表现。我们将把作战人员视为一种战备能力，要求其接受与我们要求保持战斗力的每一项资产相同的严格评估、维护和优化。”
Hegseth said he wanted to accelerate fielding technologies that will improve performance — such as wearable devices and other analytics tools — and focus on elevating “cognitive performance as a key to readiness.”“By building on and modernizing the principles of Total Force Fitness (TFF), WPO will deliver a unified operational approach to accelerate readiness, dominance, and peak performance across the Force. We will treat the Warfighter as a readiness capability, held to the same disciplined evaluation, maintenance, and optimization we demand of every asset that preserves combat power,” Hegseth wrote.
各军种在过去几年里都制定了各自的健康、体能和人员绩效方案。陆军于2020年推出了“整体健康与体能”计划，旨在改善部队健康状况，并减少因慢性疾病而被视为不可部署的士兵人数。
The services have created their own approaches to health, fitness and human performance within the last several years. Army introduced its Holistic Health and Fitness initiative in 2020 to improve the health of the force and reduce the number of soldiers considered non-deployable because of chronic medical conditions.
海军于2月在圣地亚哥启动了“人员绩效优化”试点项目，提供营养、睡眠、伤病预防和压力管理方面的培训与教育。
The Navy introduced its Human Performance Optimization program as a pilot in San Diego in February, providing training and education on nutrition, sleep, injury prevention and stress management.
海军陆战队自2023年起实施全面体能战略，将健康、体能、心理健康和数据相结合，以改善队员健康状况；空军则正在亚利桑那州戴维斯-蒙森空军基地建设一座新的人员绩效优化设施，旨在为空军特种作战飞行员提供支持。
The Marine Corps has had a total fitness strategy since 2023 that combines wellness, fitness, mental health and data to improve the health of members, while the Air Force is building a new human performance optimization facility at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona, which is designed to support Air Force Special Warfare airmen.
新顾问委员会将由最多20名成员组成，他们在一系列科学和医学领域拥有专业知识，包括泌尿学、内分泌学、营养学、神经学、战斗压力、骨科、预防医学、可穿戴技术，或精神、精神病学或心理学健康、睡眠医学和人因工程。
The new advisory committee will have up to 20 members with expertise in an array of scientific and medical fields, including urology, endocrinology, nutrition, neurology, combat stress, orthopedics, preventive medicine, wearable technology or spiritual, psychiatric or psychological health, sleep medicine and human factors engineering.
与所有联邦顾问委员会一样，志愿者不领取报酬，仅在开展委员会相关业务时获得差旅费和日津贴报销。
As with all federal advisory committees, volunteers are unpaid and only receive travel pay and per diem reimbursement when conducting council-related business.
公告将该委员会描述为“一个极具成本效益的资源”。公告称，新成立的小组将提供信息，帮助各军种打造“在身体和心理上都做好准备、具备取得决定性胜利所必需的战士精神，能够成功实施大规模、高强度、对等对手战斗行动的致命、随时可战的战士”。
The announcement described the council as “an exceptionally cost-effective resource.”The newly formed group, the announcement stated, will provide information that helps the services create “lethal, operationally ready warriors prepared physically, psychologically, for successful large-scale, high kinetic, combat operations against peer adversaries who are imbued with the essential Warrior Ethos to win decisively,” the announcement stated.
赫格塞思去年上任后不久，便解除了约40个国防部咨询委员会的成员职务，并启动审查，以判定这些委员会是否支持他提出的在美军中“重振战士精神”的目标。
Shortly after Hegseth took office last year, he dismissed the members of roughly 40 Defense Department advisory boards and launched reviews to determine whether they supported his goal to “revive the warrior ethos” in the U.S. armed forces.
被终止的委员会中包括国防部女性军人咨询委员会和国防部性不当行为预防咨询委员会。
The Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services and the Defense Advisory Committee for the Prevention of Sexual Misconduct were among those terminated.
赫格塞思宣誓就职以来还新设了多个咨询委员会，最近一个是9月11日宣布的国土防御委员会，他计划亲自担任主席。该委员会将就军方对国土安全任务的支持提供指导。
Hegseth has also created several new advisory boards since being sworn in, most recently, the Homeland Defense Board, announced Sept. 11, which he plans to chair. The board will provide guidance on military support for homeland security missions.
