The previous book, The Human Weapon System, introduced a new definition that characterizes tactical, law enforcement, and first responder populations. The term human weapon system (HWS) challenges human performance (HP) professionals to not characterize these populations as athletes but as weapon systems The SC community, not unlike other communities, is segregated around com monly shared values and/or beliefs. Larger communities, such as SC for baseball vs. SC for swimming, can be stratified many times over into more minor subcommuni ties based on education and experience level, certifying body, area of focus, training methodology, etc. As members of these communities, our affiliations, ideologies, and identities are heavily influenced by what we value and believe in SC, which becomes evident in how and what we program for our clients. Labeling the military population as athletes implies that their physical require ments, motivation, and previous exposure to physical training would parallel, or at least resemble, those of competitive sports athletes. This fallacy is exposed immediately in the realization that physical performance regimes for sport are largely designed in such a way to create ideal conditions in the realms of physical training, diet, and sleep/recovery to maximize physical perfor mance; programs for military personnel often rely on the designer’s ingenuity to optimize these parameters knowing that creating ideal conditions is neither plausible nor sustainable. The complexity that comes from the variability of expec¬tations differing between countries, branches of service, reg force and reserve, occu¬pational trades, and even ranks within the same trade underscores the need for flexibility in program design, making it imperative that those entrusted in the devel-opment of said programs have an intimate understanding of the populations for whom which the program is designed.
