CIMT is the Core Function Lead for the U.S. Army Training & Doctrine Command for all Initial Military Training (IMT). What this does is provide a process that aligns the development of competencies and behaviors in civilian volunteers for them to become Soldiers who are physically ready, grounded in Army Values, and competent in their skills so they can contribute as leaders or members of a team upon arrival at their first unit of assignment. IMT includes developing baseline proficiency in Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills and critical skills associated with their military occupational specialty or primary officer branch. CIMT is the proponent of the Holistic Health and Fitness System, which is the Army's primary investment in Soldier lethality and readiness, focusing on the five domains of readiness: Physical, Mental, Spiritual, Nutritional, and Sleep. Additionally, the Army has established CIMT as the Prevention Force Modernization Proponent (PFMP). The PFMP's mission is to reduce harmful behaviors by creating Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership and Education, Personnel and Activities, and Policy solutions that will holistically impact the Army's approach to prevention.
