Free public guides

Army tools & readiness guides

Original Green Book explainers for fitness testing, body composition, counseling goals, and admin writing — readable without an account. Each guide answers a real readiness or leadership problem, links official sources, and points to the matching public tool or workspace module when you are ready to practice.

Fitness and body composition

Prepare for the Army Fitness Test and body-composition screening with logging habits you can keep during field time.

Counseling, goals, and evaluations

Draft counselings, set measurable goals, capture accomplishments, and organize NCOER material — still draft-only until your rating chain reviews it.

Career planning and personal admin

Estimate promotion points, plan tasks and reminders, and keep personal readiness work in one place.

Unit operations (privacy-first)

Understand how roster and accountability workflows stay in your account — and why they should stay ad-free.

Related public tools

Interactive calculators and directories you can use anonymously — complementary to the written guides above.

About these guides

Content is written by the Green Book team for soldiers, NCOs, and small-unit leaders who juggle admin, readiness, and field time. We cite official sources where helpful but do not reproduce official Army regulation text. For policy questions, use official publications and your chain of command.
