Army PT- APFT regulations?
Army Physical fitness CAN be conducted 7 days a week if you are in a deployed area. In garrison you would be hard pressed to have a Commander sign off on bringing in Joes from home. A good mixture of PT that can motivate a soldier and build team work will enable you to keep up the 5 days a week work out. If its a Platoon size element you are with, then you can add variety to include combatives and sports day. Overall, in the Airborne, you conduct PT five days a week while deployed 7 days a week including gym time. If you have to cite the reg against your soldiers to do PT, then you are not doing your part to motivate your soldiers. The old say the more you sweat the less you bleed applies to actual combat training. And perfectly legal to make your soldiers come in 7 days a week, lol....you'd be begging for a IG complaint for not allowing soldiers time with their families. Take care of your soldiers and you will accomplish any mission. Remember, Mission First, Soldiers ALWAYS!
