An Air Force physician at Yokota Air Base is changing how service members approach physical readiness. Captain Zachary Hicks, an urgent care doctor with the 374th Medical Group, recently launched a mobile application titled Military Fitness Score to address the fragmented state of fitness tracking across the military branches.
Previously, service members faced a difficult process of navigating different calculators and regulations for their specific branch. Captain Hicks noted that the lack of a unified platform created unnecessary friction for troops trying to meet their health goals. His solution pulls requirements for the Army, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Marine Corps into one interface.
Beyond basic calculations, the platform tracks individual progress over time for events like running and pushups. Users can set target scores and test dates, receive guidance on which training areas require more focus, and export their data for official records. The app also serves unit fitness managers by helping them monitor readiness and schedule tests without the need for physical binders or paper printouts.
This project reflects the same problem-solving approach Captain Hicks applies to his medical practice. By identifying a gap in available resources, he developed a functional tool that removes administrative hurdles. The app is currently available for both Apple and Android users as of July 16, 2026.
Captain Aliaksei Krasouski, who beta tested the platform, emphasized its value in streamlining communication within units. With the ability to send reminders and provide centralized instructional videos, the app aims to simplify a key component of military life. It is the latest in a series of custom applications built by the captain to solve practical, day-to-day challenges.
