Who has primary responsibility for enforcing ABCP within a unit?

• A. The unit commander, with no support
• B. The unit commander, with support from the ABCP monitor
• C. The platoon sergeant
• D. The brigade surgeon

Answer: (B)

Enforcing ABCP within a unit hinges on the unit commander’s authority to set standards, make policy decisions, and take action when standards aren’t met. The commander is responsible for readiness and discipline across the unit, so they own the enforcement of the program. The ABCP monitor is there to support this effort—handling the administrative side, tracking measurements, counseling soldiers, and coordinating with medical staff as needed. This partnership ensures the program is applied consistently and documentation is accurate. While the platoon sergeant provides leadership and guidance, and the brigade surgeon offers medical oversight, neither has the primary enforcement authority across the whole unit.
