Advised Fitness Level: 1-2 out of 5

Different levels of physical fitness may be required for members of a support unit, depending on your role.

Roles managing assets and facilities, membership, and finance and administration do not require a specific level of physical fitness. If you provide support to operations in a field role (not in an office), you may be required to meet specific physical fitness requirements for those roles.
