In this episode, we aren't going to just ask and answer a bunch of questions about AR 600-9. No, we are going to focus on questions that are at a difficulty level that every PVT should be able to answer.
The episode is broken into 3 chapters:
The Pre-Test
The Lesson
Repetition
Feel free to jump into the Pre-Test, and if you know everything, skip to the next difficulty level. If you want to know more about a question, stick around for the Lesson, where we will teach you what everything means. Then we'll help you have it down consciously and sub-consciously in the Repetition chapter.
The questions we are going over are:
What does AR 600-9 cover?
What is the purpose of the Army Body Composition Program (ABCP)?
What is the primary objective of the ABCP?
What is body composition?
How does body composition contribute to mission requirements?
How is body composition an indicator of a Soldier's physical readiness?
What must Soldiers maintain to meet mission requirements?
How often must every Soldier be screened for body composition?
When is a Soldier removed from the ABCP?
What is the only authorized method for estimating body fat?

Welcome to the Board Questions Podcast, where you can study for
your promotion or Soldier of theMonth board while driving,
commuting, or playing video games.
Today we will be focusing on questions about the Army Body
Composition Program that every E1 Private and above should know
shortly after leaving Basic Training.
Each of these episodes will start with a pretest chapter,
(00:22):
and if you confidently answer every question, move on to the
next most difficult episode and test yourself there.
If you didn't stick around and start the lesson chapter where
we will teach you each of the answers in the lesson phase.
Then the retest chapter will give you a chance to try again.
If you want to solidify your answers subconsciously, the
(00:43):
repetition chapter will repeat the questions and answers, and
you can solidify what you've just learned by repeating them
out loud. Let's get started with the
pretest, the pretest chapter. Question one.
What does AR 600 to 9 cover? Establishes policies and
procedures for the implementation of the Army Body
(01:05):
Composition program. Question 2.
What is the purpose of the Army Body Composition program?
ABCP Enforce standards of body fat composition as a condition
of service and to ensure all soldiers achieve and maintain
optimal well-being and performance under all
conditions. Question 3 What is the primary
(01:28):
objective of the ABCP to ensure all soldiers achieve and
maintain optimal well-being and performance under all
conditions? Question 4.
What is body composition? Body composition is the relative
proportions of fat and lean massin the body.
(01:48):
Question 5. How does body composition
contribute to mission requirements?
Soldiers must maintain a high level of physical readiness to
meet mission requirements. Question 6.
How is body composition an indicator of a soldiers physical
readiness? It ensures that each Soldier is
(02:10):
capable of performing physical duties and sustaining endurance
in all environments. Question 7.
What must Soldiers maintain to meet mission requirements?
A high level of physical readiness.
Question 8. How often must every soldier be
screened for body composition? Every six months at a minimum.
(02:35):
Question 9. When is a soldier removed from
the ABCPA? Soldier is removed from the ABCP
on the date the commander determines the soldier has met
the body fat standard. Question 10.
What is the only authorized method for estimating body fat?
The circumference based tape method.
(02:58):
The lesson chapter. If you feel confident in your
answers in the pretest, skip this episode and move on to the
next episode where the questionswill be a little harder.
If you want to learn more, let'sdive into the lesson chapter.
We will ask the question again, give you the answer, and then
explain why that is the correct answer and what it actually
(03:19):
means for you. The Soldier question one What
does AR 600 to 9 cover? Establishes policies and
procedures for the implementation of the Army Body
Composition Program. AR 600 to 9 provides the rules
for how Soldiers must maintain ahealthy body composition.
(03:39):
It defines who is subject to theprogram, when assessments are
required, what methods are used to measure body fat, and what
happens when Soldiers do not meet the standards.
The regulation ensures that all Soldiers are fit to perform
their duties and maintain a professional appearance.
Question 2. What is the purpose of the Army
(03:59):
Body Composition Program? ABCP enforce standards of body
fat composition as a condition of service and to ensure all
Soldiers achieve and maintain optimal well-being and
performance under all conditions.
The Army Body Composition Program exists to make sure
Soldiers meet body fat standardsto stay healthy, perform their
(04:20):
missions, and represent the Armywell.
It helps identify Soldiers who are not meeting body fat
requirements and provides a planto get them back within
standard. This supports readiness and
professionalism across the force.
Question three. What is the primary objective of
the ABCP? To ensure all Soldiers achieve
(04:42):
and maintain optimal well-being and performance under all
conditions. The ABCP aims to make sure
Soldiers are physically ready for any task by promoting long
term health and performance. It also helps maintain the image
of the Army by ensuring Soldierslook fit and professional.
These goals support unit effectiveness and the trust
(05:03):
placed in the Army by the public.
Question 4. What is body composition?
Body composition is the relativeproportions of fat and lean mass
in the body. This definition focuses on how
much of a person's body is made-up of fat compared to
everything else, like muscle andbone.
The Army uses body composition, not just weight, to judge
(05:26):
fitness. This provides A clearer picture
of whether a soldier is physically ready, even if they
are heavy due to muscle mass. Question 5.
How does body composition contribute to mission
requirements? Soldiers must maintain a high
level of physical readiness to meet mission requirements.
(05:47):
A Soldiers ability to perform physically demanding tasks is
directly tied to their fitness level, which includes proper
body composition. Being within the standard
improves endurance, reduces injury risk, and helps units
function more effectively in combat or training environments.
Question 6 How is body composition an indicator of a
(06:09):
soldiers physical readiness? It ensures that each soldier is
capable of performing physical duties and sustaining endurance
in all environments. When Soldiers meet body
composition standards, it's a sign they are more likely to be
physically fit, which means theycan carry out missions without
quickly tiring or getting hurt. Physical readiness isn't just
(06:30):
about running or lifting. It also includes maintaining
body fat at healthy levels to stay mission capable.
Question 7. What must Soldiers maintain to
meet mission requirements? A high level of physical
readiness. Physical readiness includes
strength, endurance, and body composition.
(06:51):
Soldiers who maintain these traits are more likely to
succeed in training in combat and they contribute more
effectively to their units. It also supports overall health
and reduces medical issues that could take them out of the
fight. Question 8.
How often must every soldier be screened for body composition?
(07:12):
Every six months at a minimum. Semi annual checks ensure that
soldiers are regularly monitoredand stay within standard even if
they are not obviously overweight.
These screenings can be tied to other required fitness events
like the ACFT to make it easier for units to schedule and track
compliance. Question 9.
(07:33):
When is a soldier removed from the ABCPA?
Soldier is removed from the ABCPon the date the commander
determines the soldier has met the body fat standard.
This determination must be basedon proper documentation and
confirmed measurements. Once removed, the Soldier is no
longer subject to monthly evaluations but is still
(07:54):
expected to maintain the standard.
Question 10 What is the only authorized method for estimating
body fat? The circumference based tape
method The Army uses a specific tape measurement method that is
applied to the neck and waist and hips for females to
calculate body fat. This method is standardized to
(08:16):
ensure fairness across the force.
It's important because it helps avoid confusion and
inconsistency in measuring Soldiers compliance.
