What must a soldier bring to the commander after the meeting with the dietitian or healthcare provider?

• A. Memo signed by the dietitian verifying that nutrition counseling took place
• B. A medical clearance form
• C. The Soldier Action Plan
• D. A copy of the unit's ABCP records

Answer: (A)

When a soldier is referred for nutrition counseling as part of the Army Body Composition Program, the point is to have formal documentation that the counseling actually occurred. The signed memo from the dietitian or healthcare provider serves as that official record, confirming the date and that nutrition counseling took place. This helps the commander verify that the soldier received the prescribed guidance and can be used to track progress or schedule follow-up actions. The other options don’t provide that formal verification of counseling; a medical clearance form is for medical restrictions, the Soldier Action Plan is a separate plan the soldier may follow, and unit ABCP records are internal documentation not something the soldier typically brings as proof of counseling.
