Which group is exempt from AR 600-9 requirements?

• A. Active duty soldiers deployed
• B. New recruits
• C. Soldiers undergoing temporary duty
• D. Pregnant and postpartum soldiers

Answer: (D)

AR 600-9 includes exemptions for situations where standard body composition measurements wouldn’t accurately reflect health or readiness. Pregnant and postpartum soldiers are exempt because pregnancy causes changes in body composition that could be misrepresented by the normal ABCP measures, and the exemption covers the pregnancy and the postpartum recovery period as directed by medical personnel. After that period, they resume normal ABCP monitoring. The other groups—active duty soldiers deployed, new recruits, and soldiers on temporary duty—remain subject to AR 600-9 because their duties require ongoing adherence to the program.
