What physical fitness standards must members of the TAC Crew meet?

Members of the TAC Crew must pass physical fitness assessments to ensure they can perform the rigorous demands of their duties. These assessments typically measure endurance, strength, and agility, which are crucial for effective performance in a tactical environment. Physical fitness is particularly important because TAC Crew members engage in various physically demanding tasks, including boat handling, rescues, and potentially high-stress situations where physical capabilities can significantly impact mission success and crew safety.

The other aspects mentioned, such as underwater diving exams, marksmanship qualification, and first aid certification, are also important for specific roles within the Coast Guard but are not universally required for all TAC Crew members. Passing physical fitness assessments is the foundational standard that directly relates to the overall preparedness and effectiveness of the crew in operational scenarios. Therefore, it is essential that all members maintain a level of fitness to perform their roles effectively.
