Army Body Fat CalculatorThe Army Body Fat Calculator uses requirements mandated by the US Army to determine the body fat percentage of individuals in the Army. The Army has traditionally fostered a military image that is neat and trim. Day-to-day effectiveness and combat readiness depends on having personnel that are healthy and fit. Per AR 600-9, Army Weight Control, all soldiers, regardless of rank, are weighed at 6-month intervals to demonstrate that they are below tabled height-weight limits (divided by gender and into four age categories). If a soldier exceeds fat standards prescribed by gender and age, the unit commander must enter the individual in the Army Weight Control Program. A soldier who fails to make satisfactory progress toward weight or fat loss can be discharged from the Army under a separation action for failure to meet the weight control standards. This calculator is for fitness assessment used before determining whether a weight reduction program is necessary. It also serves as a motivational tool to track weight loss progress.
