Hello,
In short, yes!
To remain deployable everyone in the Army must pass various assessments, usually on a yearly basis (although some tests must be done twice a year), this will include your fitness assessments.

As a serving soldier, you are required to complete annual training including fitness testing.
There is scope for everyone in the army to conduct fitness daily, job dependant how much and when.
