How frequently are enlisted Airmen required to complete a fitness assessment?

The requirement for enlisted Airmen to complete a fitness assessment is set at once every 12 months, which aligns with the standards established by the Air Force. Completing a fitness assessment annually ensures that personnel maintain physical readiness and overall health, which is crucial for the demands of military service. This annual assessment not only helps in tracking fitness levels but also emphasizes the importance of physical fitness within the Air Force culture. Regular assessments are part of broader fitness programs aimed at enhancing the operational readiness and effectiveness of Airmen throughout their careers.

In contrast, completing the assessment every 6 months or twice a year would imply a more frequent requirement that is not mandated. Additionally, only assessing fitness upon promotion does not align with the proactive approach toward fitness maintenance and overall health that the Air Force promotes.
