WoW...what happened to the Reagan AWCP...!?
The Army's Physical Fitness program has two factors: the
Physical Fitness Test and the
Army Body Composition Program.
The AWCP ensures every soldier is healthy, physically fit, and combat ready. The program requires you to meet specific weight standards, which are based on their height, weight, and gender.
Under the AWCP you will be required to weigh-in at least once every six months. This may be done at the same time as your Army Physical Fitness Test. In most cases, failure to pass the Army's minimum weight or body fat percentage standards will make you ineligible for promotion, transfer, reenlistment or opportunities to attend professional schools.
