Injury prevention measures
>
> In
addition to the guidance in FM 7-22, the following measures should be employed to mitigate overuse injuries:
>
>
a. Place Soldiers in order of height (shortest to tallest) in running and marching formations.
>
>
b. Ensure march paces do not exceed five kilometers per hour.
>
>
c. Use the fittest Soldiers for road guard duties.
>
>
d. Rotate road guard responsibilities.
>
>
e. Avoid high impact activities for corrective training (running, marching, jumping). There is no benefit to
exceeding the PRT guidelines for running.
>
>
f. Encourage Soldiers to apply ice to injured areas when prescribed by a health care provider or recommended by
self-care guidelines.
>
>
g. Maximize transportation vehicles for moving Soldiers to training areas.
>
>
h. Encourage Soldiers to wear the sock liner under the cushion sole sock during the first three weeks of training
(during new boot break in period), and for any foot march greater than five kilometers.
