How should Soldiers track ABCP progress for personal use?

• A. In a private, secure log or digital record in line with unit policy
• B. In a shared spreadsheet
• C. Public bulletin board
• D. In their medical record only

Answer: (B)

Tracking ABCP progress in a shared spreadsheet keeps all measurements, dates, goals, and results in one visible, up-to-date record that the Soldier and authorized leaders can review together. This shared tool creates a clear trail you can reference during counseling sessions, so feedback is timely and specific, and adjustments to the plan can be made without losing data or miscommunication. It also helps ensure accountability—the same data is used by both you and your chain of command, reducing confusion about progress or targets.

Privacy remains important, so access should be limited to those authorized by unit policy. A private log is useful as a personal backup, but if progress isn’t readily accessible to your leaders, you may miss valuable coaching opportunities. A medical record is not the appropriate home for routine ABCP progress, and a public bulletin board would expose sensitive information.
