Build a Culture of Trust

Train Your Mind at R2 Performance Centers

Ready and Resilient is the Army's strategy for strengthening individual and unit personal readiness while fostering a culture of trust. R2 Performance Experts teach resilience life skills, building mental toughness, strong relationships and character, and enabling critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication. R2 Performance Centers provide training and education resources to active-duty, reserve, and National Guard Soldiers, Family members and DA Civilians at 32 R2 Performance Centers across the Army enterprise.

RESILIENCE

Resilience is a process that requires adopting productive thoughts, actions and habits, all of which can be learned. Resilience extends beyond “bouncing back” from major life challenges; rather, it gives you the ability to cope with adversity, adapt to change and thrive under new conditions.

READINESS

Mental readiness is an individual’s or team’s ability to think, feel, and act in a way that optimizes performance in demanding environments or when undertaking occupational or combat-specific tasks. Mental readiness, like physical readiness, can be improved through intentional training to achieve peak levels of performance.

Soldiers who strengthen and enhance their personal readiness experience heightened unit cohesion and achieve more positive outcomes. Mentally ready Soldiers can effectively manage stress and improve their mental toughness in the process.
