To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of fitness requirements in the Army.
The Army’s current fitness requirements remain appropriate and are kept under regular review to ensure they continue to align with operational requirements. Data is collected across Army fitness events and reviewed by military staff, scientists and independent experts to inform policy and ensure standards remain evidence-based.
Since 2025, the Army has introduced two new measures to strengthen physical readiness. The Soldier Conditioning Assessment (SCA), introduced in April 2026, identifies areas for improvement for individual soldiers and informs tailored training programmes. The Collective Physical Readiness Evaluation (CPRE) enables Commanders to focus physical training on improving collective readiness against mission requirements.
The Army is also formally reviewing its Role Fitness Tests (Soldier), which assess whether soldiers meet the physical capability requirements for their specific occupation, to ensure they remain fit for purpose.

The Army routinely assesses the serviceability and safety of its vehicle fleet through established engineering management processes. These include maintenance inspections, supervisory checks and assurance activity recorded and managed on the Joint Asset Management and Engineering Solutions (JAMES) Management Information System.
The Land Equipment Assurance Team inspections capture findings specifically related to the incorrect movement or authorisation of non-taskworthy (NT) vehicles. The findings recorded over the last three full years are as follows;
Year | Number of vehicles |
2023 | 8 |
2024 | 10 |
2025 | 18 |
This data should not be read as evidence that unsafe vehicles were unknowingly used but instead it records a policy breach associated with the journey or authorisation of a NT vehicle on JAMES.
Where non-compliance is identified, units are instructed to take corrective action by addressing the immediate issue, reinforcing engineering policy and capturing lessons to prevent recurrence.
