MSG (Ret.) Eric T. Barnes served 24 years in the U.S. Army, including roles as an Master Fitness Trainer and First Sergeant.

View full credentialsWhy We Built This
The transition to the one-site tape test in June 2023 was a significant shift in how the Army evaluates body composition. Many legacy calculators failed to adapt or correctly implement the new formulas. We created Army H&W to provide a modern, mobile-responsive tool that reflects the latest standards—such as the 465+ ACFT exemption score with at least 80 points in each event—directly on the field or during unit weigh-ins.
