Tysons, Va.—The United States Air Force Air Education and Training Command (AETC), 17th Training Group, 312th Training Squadron, has selected LMI to support its mission of training and developing fire emergency services across the Department of Defense. As part of this nearly $3 million contract, LMI will develop, implement, and maintain a Human Performance Program to improve firefighter training and reduce injuries and failure rates. 

The program encompasses techniques to facilitate physical skill development and application for students and staff. Task areas include diagnostic analysis to observe and assess physical training requirements; physical performance to create and monitor physical training, fitness, and nutrition programs; education to develop and inform on optimal health strategies; and analysis and reporting to monitor and evaluate training effectiveness. 

“It’s an honor to partner with AETC to improve the readiness and resilience of its forces. This effort is a great example of our shared commitment to excellence and operational efficiency.”

“It’s an honor to partner with AETC to improve the readiness and resilience of its forces. This effort is a great example of our shared commitment to excellence and operational efficiency,” said Patrick (PK) Kirk, LMI vice president, Navy & Air Force submarket.  

LMI will use biometric data and best practices from kinesiology, nutrition, and functional fitness to improve students’ physical performance during training. The digital health information collected will enable data-driven decision-making to adjust and align priorities to improve program effectiveness. 

“The safety and effectiveness of our warfighters in training and combat environments is paramount. LMI’s agile mindsets and methods enhance warfighters’ effectiveness as they prepare for unique missions across the globe.”

“The safety and effectiveness of our warfighters in training and combat environments is paramount,” said Jon Baba, senior vice president of LMI’s defense market. “LMI’s agile mindsets and methods enhance warfighters’ effectiveness as they prepare for unique missions across the globe.”  

In establishing the Human Performance Program, LMI applies its capabilities in performance optimization, which enhances the efficiency, effectiveness, and adaptability of government organizations and operations using three solution sets: organizational transformation, business modernization, and workforce evolution. Through advanced analytics and data-driven decision-making, LMI brings innovation and expertise to enhance Air Force training objectives and increase the performance and potential of the workforce. 

This effort continues LMI’s record of support to innovative defense training initiatives. LMI is the prime contractor supporting the Department of Defense Innovative Readiness Training program, which enhances military readiness through civil-military partnership and provides leadership, educational opportunities, and community development projects across the U.S. and its territories. LMI also partners with the U.S. Army to modernize the Army Training Information System as an essential tool to keep our soldiers trained and ready.
