How often will all Soldiers be weighed at a minimum?

• A. Six months
• B. Three months
• C. Twelve months
• D. Monthly

Answer: (A)

The minimum cadence for weighing all Soldiers is six months. This baseline ensures a regular check of body composition across the force without overburdening units, while still allowing timely detection of trends in weight and body fat. Weigh-ins every month would be more frequent than required for the whole force, and once a year would miss important changes. Weigh-ins every three months are more frequent than the minimum, and six months provides the practical balance the Army uses for accountability.
