When necessary, the incumbent creates and recommends additions or amendments to guidelines as the result of evaluation of program results and the determination of specific needs for local command, as well as for installation wide fitness programs.

The participant population is within the small/medium, large category and the presence of one or more commands, general official and high ranking government officials further complicates the program.
