FORT HOOD – The Army strives for physical fitness in its soldiers, and has begun to focus on mental and spiritual fitness, too.
Fort Hood is taking a step toward building the latter with the creation of the Spiritual Fitness Center.
“An Army at war needs warriors who are experienced in wrestling with the difficult questions of pain and suffering, grief and loss, and must be adept at making tough decisions that affect all who serve in the military at these times,” states information from the Garrison Chaplain Office.
The proposed center will provide those soldiers with that guidance, and representatives from units across Fort Hood met Tuesday to discuss its benefits.
