Is there a regulation that outlines the number of PT sessions that should be held per a specific number of MUTAs?

Not that I know of. I know ours is going to start doing pt twice a day once for everyone and the second for the ones who failed pt test

I haven't tried finding anyone but I honestly don't think there is anything...I'm at HHC & the only people who do PT are ones who need a record or failures... I've been in my unit since May 2015 & I haven't done PT once...

My Reserve Unit does PT every drill day. We also try to encourage each other to do PT on social media in between drill weekends.

Not that I know of. I believe it is on the Company Commander, 1st Sergent, and the Readiness NCO. I believe it also is dependent on numbers of APFT faluies and over fitness level of the unit.

Not that I am aware of. In theory you aren't required to really have a set period of PT. Some units in the Regular do PT for different durations. In the Guard/Reserve side some units don't do PT at all. I don't recommend that but it is up the leadership. I honestly question the intention of this question. Is there a soldier saying he can't do PT twice on a drill weekend or is it you want to do PT more so than the soldiers in your unit?

We do it twice a day at ours. BN mandated remedial for anyone who failed apft.

It's up to the Commander how many unit sessions are performed. But every section should be doing PT during drill. Just write it into the training schedule and submit it to your 1SG for approval. Then it will be mandatory.

The PRT manual states the requirements for a PRT session and how long it should take to complete. I am almost 99% sure it states the down time after a PRT session required for that muscle group to heal. Remember if you overwork a muscle group and not give it the opportunity to heal, you can cause injury. I would reference this manual for your guidelines as to what and what not to do.

Yes, two sessions per year, one every six months, both in the form of a record PT test, nothing else above that is required.

FM 7-22, table 5-15 covers a suggested PRT schedule based on a reserve component training schedule. Finding time during your drill assemblies can be tough, but there are no prescribed standards for PT vs MUTAs.

I don't know of any regulations outlining this. I'll just echo another post, "It's at the discretion of the Commander"

It depends on the chain of command, two days of PT during weekend duty
