The U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine (USACHPPM) lineage can be traced back over 50 years to the Army Industrial Hygiene Laboratory. It was known both nationally and internationally as the U.S. Army Environmental Hygiene Agency or USAEHA. In 1994, it was redesignated the USACHPPM. Its mission is to provide worldwide technical support for implementing preventive medicine, public health, and health promotion/wellness services into all aspects of America's Army and the Army Community anticipating and rapidly responding to operational needs and adaptable to a changing world environment.

The Health Information Technology System (HITS) is an innovative approach for promoting healthy environments that integrates, connects and delivers virtual products to US Army Soldiers that are geographically and demographically dispersed, specifically those in the Army Reserve and National Guard. One component of this system is HOOAH 4 HEALTH (H4H), an interactive web-based health information and disease prevention technology system that supports Soldiers and their families as they assume self-responsibility for their health and fitness for duty. Active duty service members, other military services, and civilians, both inside and outside of Department of Defense, also use the H4H web site extensively. H4H is used to deliver information and educational materials in the areas of physical, mental, spiritual, and environmental/occupational health.
