SquadPT is the weekly PT planning board for platoons and small teams. Squad leaders plan their own week, unit-wide events land on every squad's calendar automatically, and the commander's brief prints clean in one tap. PLAN BY SQUAD • A Monday–Friday grid per squad: location, uniform, instructors, equipment, warm-up, workout, cool-down, and notes — plus a training focus for every day. • Read-only by default: flip Edit to make changes, and every save is stamped with its author. • Edits sync live to every signed-in device. PUBLISH ONCE • Events and DONSAs — AFT, company, battalion, brigade, morale — are entered once and appear on the matching days of every squad's plan. • The month calendar shows the whole unit's picture at a glance. BRIEF CLEAN • One tap turns the live plan into a ready to print brief with the unit and week header on every page. • Print it, save it as a PDF, or send it through the iOS share sheet. TEMPLATES • Save any day as a reusable template ("Ruck 6 MI", "Deck of Cards") and apply it in two taps. • Each squad keeps its own library. AFTER-ACTION, PER SOLDIER • Every soldier writes their own improves and sustains on the session they just did — under their own name, not into a shared field. • Squad leaders and above read their squad's. Nobody can edit somebody else's words, and it never appears on the printed brief. TEST RESULTS, KEPT NARROW • Record Army Fitness Test results and waist-to-height measurements for your soldiers, and see at a glance which event the squad needs to train. • Raw entries only. Point values, totals and the ratio are worked out when they are displayed and never stored, so a corrected scoring table re-scores history instead of contradicting it. • Who can see a soldier's results is enforced in the database, not in the app: that soldier, their own squad leader, and their platoon leadership. Not other squads, not company command, and not us — the operator's support view is deliberately unable to display them. • SquadPT is not a system of record. DA Form 705-AFT and your unit's ABCP screening record remain authoritative. ROLES THAT MATCH THE FORMATION • Members read; squad leaders own their squad's plan; the platoon sergeant and leadership edit everything; admins manage the roster, squads, and the join code. • A squad leader can grant a member edit access for a single month — and revoke it anytime. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Access is by team join code: created server-side, stored only as a hash, shown once, rotatable at any time. • Accounts are a username and password. No email address, no phone number — nothing to phish. • Every team's data is isolated by database-enforced access control. No ads, no analytics, no tracking. • Delete your account any time from inside the app (Profile → Delete account). A sole owner deletes the team with it; an owner with members hands off ownership first. SquadPT is a commercial planning tool for unclassified training administration. It is not a government system and not a system of record. Accounts carry a rank and last name and nothing else; beyond that, the app holds only what your unit chooses to put in it — plan content, after-action comments, and, if you use them, fitness test results and waist-to-height measurements — each visible only to the soldier and their own chain of command. New teams: request access at squadpt.com — your team's join code is delivered once a request is approved.
