If a measurement is contested, what process does AR 600-9 allow?

• A. Immediate discharge.
• B. Ignoring the contest.
• C. A re-measurement or review by qualified personnel following AR 600-9 procedures.
• D. Transfer to another unit.

Answer: (C)

When a measurement is contested, the Army Regulation directs a formal re-measurement or review by qualified personnel using the AR 600-9 procedures. This ensures the result is accurate and fair, preventing a wrong reading from affecting a soldier’s status and upholding the integrity of the Body Composition Program. Immediate discharge or ignoring the contest wouldn’t resolve the measurement issue, and transferring units doesn’t address the measurement itself.
