We wanted to see if they were prepared to engage the public, not just in discussions about fitness, but who they are and why they serve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">French, 27, an intelligence analyst based at Camp Humphreys, South Korea, told Army Times that he had been a longtime CrossFit enthusiast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEven before I joined

recruit for the Army and show what we have to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to team workouts and traveling for fitness competitions, team members will share

milestones while part of the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brager, 34, a research psychologist and chief of sleep research at the Center for Military Psychiatry and Neuroscience at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, said that her stint with the team would be a career-broadening assignment, which can also include stints at basic training or West Point, fellowships and other jobs outside of one\u2019s military occupational specialty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy body of research for the Army is built around these tenets: high-level physical
