Provides the foundation for individuals to build and sustain personal readiness and resilience. R2 provides training and education resources to active duty, reserve, and National Guard Soldiers, as well as family members and Department of the Army Civilians at 32 R2 Performance Centers across the Army enterprise through contracted Performance Experts (PEs)
Areas of Focus
Four Pillars: Performance Enhancement, Resilience, Leader Development and Unit Cohesion, Prevention and Intervention
R2 can customize training based on your needs and availability to suit any number of performances and facilitate a singular training experience or run a series of workshops to help achieve mental skill mastery. PEs create a dynamic learning experience in whichever “classroom” setting makes the most sense. For example, PEs can provide training at the range, the gym, at your unit, or in our performance centers.
*R2 can also be utilized for personal performance preparations, not solely limited to Army-related activity.
