Program Procedures), 10 May 2022
b. Army Regulation (AR) 350–1 (Army Training and Leader Development),

c. AR 600–8–2 (Suspension of Favorable Personnel Actions (Flag)), 5 April 2021
d. AR 600–9 (The Army Body Composition Program), 16 July 2019
2. Purpose. This directive implements modifications to the Army Body Composition
Program (ABCP) that address findings from scientific assessments of the current
program.
3. Applicability. The provisions of this directive apply to the Regular Army, Army
National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and U.S. Army Reserve.
4. Background. DoD authorized the U.S. Army to review methods to implement
revisions to the ABCP that embody the whole Soldier concept and improve talent
management. This directive announces changes to the ABCP to ensure all Army
Soldiers maintain a level of physical readiness necessary to perform their duties.
5. Policy. The following policy applies to all Soldiers, all cadets of the United States
Military Academy (USMA) and Senior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (SROTC), all
retention actions, and all military schools and institutional training courses (see
reference 1b for graduation requirements).
a. The only U.S. Army-authorized methods of estimating body fat are the multi-site
circumference-based tape method, as prescribed in appendix B of AR 600–9; the one-
site circumference-based tape method; and the supplemental body fat assessment.
Christine E. Wormuth
SUBJECT: Army Directive 2023-11 (Army Body Fat Assessment for the Army Body
Composition Program)
b. The one-site circumference-based tape method will be phased in over the next
year. During the 12-month period extending from the date of this directive, Soldiers who
require a circumference-based tape test will take the one-site tape test. Those who fail
the one-site tape method are authorized to be measured by the multi-site
circumference-based tape method, as prescribed in AR 600–9, for their confirmation
tape test. After 12 months from the date of this directive, the one-site tape test will be
the only authorized circumference-based tape method.
c. A Soldier who fails the circumference-based tape methods will be flagged. Those
Soldiers may request a supplemental body fat assessment if the means for such testing
is reasonably available. Commanders of Soldiers who do not request a supplemental
body fat assessment or who fail the supplemental body fat assessment will maintain the
original flagging action, and the Soldier will be enrolled in the ABCP.
6. Delegation. The authority to determine whether the supplemental body fat
assessment testing is reasonably available is delegated to the commanders of Army
commands, Army service component commands, and direct reporting units; the Chief,
National Guard Bureau; and the Chief of Army Reserve. This authority may be further
delegated.
7. Proponent. The Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower and Reserve Affairs)
has oversight responsibility for this policy. The Deputy Chief of Staff, G-1 will publish
implementing guidance and incorporate the provisions of this policy into AR 600–9
within 2 years of the date of this directive. The Deputy of Chief of Staff, G-3/5/7 will
incorporate the relevant provisions of this policy into AR 350–1 within 2 years of the
date of this directive.

DCSA News Article on Phishing Emails

FSA:

Please see the below for a warning from DCSA released on 5 June 2023, FYSA. For further information please refer to the DCSA news website at https://www.dcsa.mil/about/news/. This email is being provided for your situational awareness and for dissemination to the level you feel is appropriate within your commands.

Phishing Attempt

JUNE 5, 2023

DCSA has been made aware of a sophisticated malicious phishing email circulating which references the collection of an "SF-86_F" or an SF-86 (an example of the email is below).  Please do not engage with this email and advise your staff not to engage with it; you should report it to your security office or cyber security team and delete it immediately if received.  This email is NOT coming from DCSA, or any other vetting or Personnel Security entity in the U.S. Government or Department of Defense. IT professionals have confirmed that the email is malicious in nature.
 
In some cases, the link is associated with an individual who is listed in the DOD phone directory and in a few cases, that individual has turned out to be an actual security manager.  This email has a fairly high ability to potentially trick individuals because they may not know that an SF-86F does not exist, and because the site that it leads to as well as the email look legitimate enough to get people to act, especially with the quick suspense date in the subject line.

 
Email Example:

ALCON,

Due to a number of high profile spillages and intelligence leaks, all federal and DoD Contract employees are required to view the "DoD Reporting and You" powerpoint training and respond to a six question self-report addendum to their SF-86.

If your response is "yes" to any of the addendum questions, you will need to fill out a SF86_F form for each affirmative answer.

The training and addendum questionnaire can be found here: SF-86 Addendum (this is where the malicious link generally is)

ARMY DIR 2023-10 ADMINISTRATIVE ROLES, RESPONSIBILITIES, AND PROCEDURES FOR PATIENT MOVEMENT

https://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/DR_pubs/DR_a/ARN38489-ARMY_DIR_2023-10-000-WEB-1.pdf

MEMORANDUM FOR SEE DISTRIBUTION
SUBJECT: Army Directive 2023-10 (Administrative Roles, Responsibilities, and
Procedures for Patient Movement)
1. References. See references enclosed.
2. Purpose. This directive prescribes administrative roles, responsibilities, and
procedures for patient movement within the Continental United States (CONUS) and
outside of the Continental United States (OCONUS).
3. Applicability. The provisions of this directive apply to the Regular Army, Army
National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and U.S. Army Reserve.
4. Background. This directive provides specific direction to ensure safe and efficient
aeromedical evacuation (AE) movement, mission command (MC), medical
management (M2), and administrative actions required for Soldiers who need medical
care and treatment that is not available at their assigned duty location. This directive
incorporates Defense Health Agency (DHA) procedural instructions published pursuant
to the National Defense Authorization Act for 2016 and delineates the administrative,
MC, and M2 responsibilities between DHA, the U.S. Transportation Command
(USTRANSCOM), and the U.S. Army.
5. Policy.
a. Patient movement procedures for all wounded, ill, or injured (WII) Soldiers (in a
qualifying duty status) who require AE or commercial air due to a lack of required
medical care and treatment where located, including those for non-medical attendants,
will comply with USTRANSCOM guidance. All WII Soldiers will have an approved and
funded travel order prior to leaving on a commercial or military AE flight. Pursuant to
Army Regulation 600–8–105, the Soldier’s assigned unit is responsible for publishing
the travel order unless otherwise indicated; for example, for Soldiers assigned
OCONUS.
b. Pursuant to AR 40–400, military treatment facility (MTF) directors/readiness
element commanders are responsible for the medical management of all inpatient
Soldiers. When an inpatient Soldier is discharged or in an outpatient status (either to
return to unit/duty location or with continuation of care at current MTF), the unit
S E C R E T A R Y O F T H E A R M Y
W A S H I N G T O N
SUBJECT: Army Directive 2023-10 (Administrative Roles, Responsibilities, and
Procedures for Patient Movement)
2
commander resumes responsibility for the discharged or outpatient Soldier. Patient
Movement clerks will communicate the discharge to the Soldier’s host unit.
c. Host unit commanders are responsible for Soldier transportation, lodging, meals,
incidentals, and travel orders once discharged or in an outpatient status (regardless of
Soldier location).
(1) For Regular Army Soldiers (COMPO 1), the host is the assigned unit.
(2) For Army National Guard and Army Reserve Soldiers (COMPOs 2/3), the
host is the unit command that brought the Soldier onto an active-duty order (also known
as the force requestor).
d. Host unit commanders will follow the recommendations of the MTF director and
facilitate required administrative actions. The MTF will assign a case manager (if
needed) to communicate the treatment plan and future location(s) to the host unit
commander if the Soldier requires movement.
e. Once approved for entry, Soldier Recovery Unit (SRU) assignment orders for
COMPO 1 Soldiers will be published by the gaining SRU. Requests for orders for
COMPOs 2/3 will be submitted to the U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) Soldier
Transition Branch for publication by the SRU after approval for entry into the program.
f. WII Soldiers who are mobilized OCONUS and require commercial air or AE to a
CONUS location will be managed by a contingency cell or Deployed Warrior Medical
Management Center (DWMMC), if operational. If the DWMMC or contingency cell is not
operational, follow paragraphs 5a–5e of this directive. The contingency cell or DWMMC
will manage onward movement for transfer for continuous care or returned-to-duty (RTD)
patients and their non-medical attendants. This includes, but is not limited to, patients
received at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC). The Soldier’s command will
provide a letter of release, signed by an O-6 or higher, authorizing evacuation out of the
AOR pursuant to reference 1e. The contingency cell or DWMMC will—
(1) Publish a medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) temporary duty (TDY) order
within the appropriate system, not to exceed 30 days, attaching the Soldier to the
accepting MTF director for duty purpose of medical evaluation and treatment. Soldiers
on a temporary change of station (TCS) order for contingency operations will maintain
their original TCS order status until an MTF provider makes a medical determination
that the Soldier is unable to return to theater and has been appropriately transitioned to
the correct medical administrative order paid status pursuant to references 1j and 1k.
SUBJECT: Army Directive 2023-10 (Administrative Roles, Responsibilities, and
Procedures for Patient Movement)
3
(a) The Soldier Transfer and Regulating Tracking Center (STARTC) will serve in
a consultant role to USTRANSCOM and will ensure Army personnel are relegated to
the MTF with appropriate medical capability and capacity. Priority should be given to
MTFs with an enduring SRU. The MTF selected should be located as close as possible
to the Soldier’s unit of assignment for COMPO 1 and COMPOs 2/3 Title 10 Active
