The Army Body Composition Program
AR 600-9 establishes the Army Body Composition Program: screening weight, body fat assessment, enrollment, and the consequences of failing to make progress. The regulation itself dates from July 2019, but the assessment method and body fat standards have been changed by Army directives since then. Use the current directives with the regulation.
