Canadian <strong>Forces</strong> personnel must be physically fit to meet operational requirem<strong>en</strong>ts, to perform under a wide<br />
range of geographical <strong>and</strong> <strong>en</strong>vironm<strong>en</strong>tal conditions, to cope with the stresses of sustained operations <strong>and</strong> to<br />
be ready to respond on short notice.<br />
With a m<strong>and</strong>ate to raise morale <strong>and</strong> promote physical fitness within the Canadian <strong>Forces</strong> community, the<br />
DGPFSS’s Personnel Support Programs (<strong>PSP</strong>) Division is responsible for managing high quality fitness,<br />
physical education, recreation, mess operations, sports, deploym<strong>en</strong>t support <strong>and</strong> family services programs.<br />
The CF EXPRES evaluation is a fitness test, which predicts the member’s ability to meet the five (5)<br />
common military tasks. The evaluation is administered to all CF members except those subject to special<br />
Comm<strong>and</strong> (LFCPFS) or task specific unit evaluations (i.e., JTF2, SAR Tech, <strong>and</strong> Fire Fighter). The purpose<br />
of the evaluation is to assess the relative overall fitness level of the member in order to provide exercise<br />
programs.<br />
