How many NCOs are required to take measurements?

• A. One
• B. Two
• C. Three
• D. Four

Answer: (B)

Measurements for body composition are performed by a two-person team to ensure accuracy and integrity. Having two noncommissioned officers present allows one to carry out the measurement with proper technique (correct tape placement, level readings, and consistent tension) while the other verifies the result and records it. This double-check reduces errors, prevents bias, and provides accountability for the data used in the Army Body Composition Program. That’s why two NCOs are required.
