Which of the following is NOT listed as an exemption from ABCP?

• A. Soldiers with major limb loss.
• B. Soldiers on established continued on active duty and/or continued on active Reserve status.
• C. Pregnant and postpartum Soldiers.
• D. Soldiers assigned to a special duty position not listed here.

Answer: (D)

Exemptions from ABCP are specific, clearly defined conditions that allow a Soldier to be exempt from meeting the body fat standard while those conditions apply. Major limb loss qualifies because a significant medical condition directly affects body composition and the ability to meet standard measurements. Soldiers on established continued on active duty and/or continued on active Reserve status are exempt because they are in ongoing, regulated service statuses where routine remeasurement requirements don’t apply in the same way. Pregnant and postpartum Soldiers are exempt due to the temporary and health-related changes during and after pregnancy.

The statement about being assigned to a special duty position not listed here isn’t an exemption because it isn’t one of the officially listed exemption categories. Soldiers in such a role would still be subject to ABCP unless they meet one of the recognized exemptions.
