Attachment 1
Implementing Guidance for AD 2023-11; Body-Fat Testing Procedures for the ABCP
A. General
This guidance provides standard methods for determining body fat and supplemental body fat
assessments.
B. Standard Methods for Determining Body Fat Using Height, Weight, Body
Circumference, and Supplemental Body Fat Assessments.
B–1. Height and weight measurements
The procedures for the measurements of height, weight, specific body circumferences, and the use of the supplemental
body fat assessment machines for the estimation of body fat are described in this implementing guidance. The weight
for height table is listed in B–1 followed by the body fat standards in table B–2.
a. Soldier’s height: The height will be measured with the Soldier in stocking feet (without running shoes) and
wearing the authorized physical fitness uniform (trunks and T-shirt). The Soldier will stand on a flat surface with
the head held horizontal, looking directly forward with the line of vision horizontal and the chin parallel to the floor.
The body will be straight but not rigid, similar to the position of attention. When measuring height to determine
body fat percentage (see fig B–1 or fig B–2), the Soldier’s height is measured to the nearest half inch. When
measuring height to use the weight for height screening table (see table B–1) the Soldier’s height is measured and
then rounded to the nearest inch with the following guidelines:
(1) If the height fraction is less than half an inch, round down to the nearest whole number in inches.
(2) If the height fraction is half an inch or greater, round up to the next highest whole number in inches.
b. Soldier’s weight: The weight will be measured with the Soldier in stocking feet and wearing the authorized physical
fitness uniform (trunks and T-shirt); running shoes and jacket will not be worn. Scales used for weight measurement
will be calibrated annually for accuracy. The measurement will be made on scales available in units and recorded to
the nearest pound with the following guidelines:
(1) If the weight fraction of the Soldier is less than one-half pound, round down to the nearest pound.
(2) If the weight fraction of the Soldier is one half-pound or greater, round up to the next whole pound.
(3) No weight will be deducted to account for clothing.
c. Scales used for weight measurement will be calibrated annually. The word "calibrated", is intended to ensure the
personnel weight scales used at the unit level for height and weight measurements have been verified for accuracy. It
is not intended to require that unit scales be calibrated by test, measurement, and diagnostic equipment personnel or
biomedical technicians. Accuracy of scales will be verified by unit personnel that will be performing the height/weight
screening. This may be verified by using the tare (zero) function (if available), by following the scale manufacturer's
instructions for ensuring accuracy, or by using an object of fixed known weight. Following is an example of using an
object of fixed weight (for example, weight labeled 5 pounds) as means to verify accuracy:
(1) Place an object of known, fixed weight on the scale.
(2) Compare the reading on the scale to the known weight of the object.
(3) If the scale reading differs from the known weight of the object being weighted the scale has a calibration feature,
adjust the scale until the reading matches the known weight of the object being weighed. Once the reading matches
the known weight, the scale is considered to be accurate for the purpose of this regulation.
(4) If the reading differs from the known weight of the object being weighed and the scale does not have a calibration
feature the scale should not be used to determine Soldier compliance with this regulation.
(5) Once accuracy of scale has been verified, affix a label to the scale with name, date, and signature of the individual
verifying the accuracy of the scale. The unit commander will also sign as a witness.

Note:
1 Male and female Soldiers who fall below the minimum weights shown in table B–1 will be referred by the commander for immediate medical
evaluation.
2 Add 6 pounds per inch for males over 80 inches and 5 pounds per inch for females over 80 inches.
B–2. Determining body fat using body circumference process
a. Although circumferences may be looked upon by untrained personnel as easy measures, they can give erroneous
results if proper technique is not followed. The individual taking the measurements must have a thorough
understanding of the appropriate body landmarks and measurement techniques. Unit commanders will require that
designated personnel have read the instructions regarding technique and location and obtained adequate practice
before official body fat determinations are made. Individuals taking the measurements will be designated unit fitness
trainers, a certified master fitness trainer, Army Officers, Army non-commissioned officers (NCO), or DA civilians
trained in body circumference methodology, as specified in AR 600-9 paragraph 2–16b(1) and/or 2–17a(1). Two
members of the unit will be utilized in the taking of measurements; one to place the tape measure and determine
measurements and the other to assure proper placement and tension of the tape, as well as to record the measurement
on the DA Form 5500 and DA Form 5501. The unit member recording the measurements is responsible for signing
the DA Form 5500 and DA Form 5501 in the “prepared by” block. Soldiers should be measured by trained individuals
of the same gender. If a trained individual of the same gender is not available to conduct the measurements, a female
Soldier will be present when a male measures a female, and a male Soldier will be present when a female measures a
male. The two will work with the Soldier between them so the tape is clearly visible from all sides. Take abdominal
circumference measurements three times and record them to the nearest half inch. If any one of the three closest
measurements differs by more than 1 inch from the other two, take an additional measurement and compute a
mathematical average of the three measurements with the least difference to the nearest half inch and record this value.
b. Soldiers will be measured for body fat in stocking feet and standard Army physical fitness uniform trunks and T-
shirt. Undergarments that may serve to bind the abdomen, are not authorized for wear when a Soldier is being
measured for body fat composition. This includes but is not limited to girdle-like undergarments.
c. When measuring circumferences, compression of the soft tissue requires constant attention. The tape will be applied
so it makes contact with the skin and conforms to the body surface being measured. It will not compress the underlying
soft tissues. All measurements are made in the horizontal plane (parallel to the floor), unless indicated otherwise.
d. The tape measure will be made of a non-stretchable material, preferably fiberglass; cloth or steel tapes are
unacceptable. Cloth measuring tapes will stretch with usage and most steel tapes do not conform to body surfaces.
The tape measure will be calibrated, that is, compared with a yardstick or a metal ruler to ensure validity. This is done
by aligning the fiberglass tape measure with the quarter-inch markings on the ruler. The markings will match those
on the ruler; if not, do not use that tape measure. The tape will be one-quarter to one-half inch wide (not exceeding
one-half inch) and a minimum of 5 feet in length. A retractable fiberglass tape is the best type for measuring all areas.
Note. Tapes are currently available through the Army Supply System (Federal stock number 5210–01–238–8103 or
national stock number 8315–01–238–8103). The current Army supply system or any other fiberglass tape (not to
exceed one-half inch) may be used if retractable tapes cannot be purchased by unit budget funds available and if
approved by installation commanders.
e. If using the circumference methodology outlined in this policy and it is determined that the Soldier’s body
circumference does not meet the ABCP standards, a confirmation will be completed. The above process will be
completed by a different team than the completed initial set of measurement. This must occur before any actions are
taken by the commander.

B–3. Description of the circumference site and its anatomical landmarks and technique
a. All circumference measurements will be taken three times and recorded to the nearest half inch (or 0.50). Each
sequential measurement should be within 1 inch of the next or previous measurement. If the measurements are within
1 inch of each other, derive a mathematical average to the nearest half of an inch. If any one of the three measurements
differs by more than 1 inch, take an additional measurement. Then, average the three closest measures.
b. For males, complete three abdominal circumference measurements.
c. For females, complete three abdominal circumference measurements.
d. Instructions for computing body fat are at tables B–3 (males) and B–4 (females). Percent fat estimates are shown
in figures B–1 (males) and B–2 (females). Illustrations of each tape measurement are at figures B–3 (males) and
B–4 (females).
e. All circumference measurement information will be recorded on a DA Form 5500 (male)/5501 (female).

Figure B–3. Male tape measurement illustration
Figure B–4. Female tape measurement illustration
B–4. Circumference site and landmarks for males
a. Abdomen. Measure abdominal circumference against the skin at the navel (belly button) level and parallel to the
floor. Arms are at the sides. Record the measurement at the end of Soldier’s normal, relaxed exhalation. Round
abdominal measurement down to the nearest half inch and record (for example, round “34 3/4 inches” to “34 1/2
inches”).
b. Unidentified umbilicus (belly button) marker due to skin fold. Attempt to identify the direct location of the
umbilicus on the outer skin (or fold) as accurately as possible and make a small “x” with a sharpie on the skin fold (a
tape measurer can be used to assist). Tape the outer most circumference of the abdomen across this “x” mark (as if
the umbilicus were visual). Taking a measure under the skin fold would be underestimating the actual
circumference/size of the Soldier at this location. The fat/skin fold is part of the measurement because it is
metabolically active tissue and plays a role in health-related outcomes (e.g., obesity link to cardiovascular health).
c. No identified umbilicus (belly button). In the event no umbilicus (belly button) is anatomically present, locate the
Soldier’s hip bone (anterior superior iliac spine) and mark 2 inches above with a sharpie. Use this as the reference
point to measure an alternative abdominal circumference.
B–5. Circumference site and landmarks for females
a. Abdomen. Measure abdominal circumference against the skin at the navel (belly button) level and parallel to the
floor. Arms are at the sides. Record the measurement at the end of Soldier’s normal, relaxed exhalation. Round
abdominal measurement down to the nearest half inch and record (for example, round “34 3/4 inches” to “34 1/2
inches”).
b. Unidentified umbilicus (belly button) marker due to skin fold. Attempt to identify the direct location of the
umbilicus on the outer skin (or fold) as accurately as possible and make a small “x” with a sharpie on the skin fold (a
tape measurer can be used to assist). Tape the outer most circumference of the abdomen across this “x” mark (as if
the umbilicus were visual). Taking a measure under the skin fold would be underestimating the actual
circumference/size of the Soldier at this location. The fat/skin fold is part of the measurement because it is
metabolically active tissue and plays a role in health-related outcomes (e.g., obesity link to cardiovascular health).
c. No identified umbilicus (belly button). In the event no umbilicus (belly button) is anatomically present, locate the
Soldier’s hip bone (anterior superior iliac spine) and mark 2 inches above with a sharpie. Use this as the reference
point to measure an alternative abdominal circumference.
B–6. Preparation of DA Form 5500 and DA Form 5501
It is extremely important that the following instructions are read before attempting to complete DA Form 5500 and/or
DA Form 5501. Have a copy of the form available when reading these instructions.
a. Tables B–3 and B–4 and figures B–1 through B–4 will provide information needed to prepare DA Form 5500 and
DA Form 5501. The instructions for the forms are written in a stepwise fashion. The computation processes are
different for males and females.
b. A DA Form 5500 (male) or DA Form 5501 (female) must be completed for Soldiers who exceed the weight for
height table (table B–1). The purpose of this form is to help determine the Soldier's percent body fat using the
circumference technique described in this regulation.
c. Before starting, have a thorough understanding of the measurements to be made as outlined in this guidance. A
scale for measuring body weight, a device for measuring height, and a measuring tape (see specifications in para B–
2d) for the circumference measurements are also required.
d. If any of the measurements are not listed in figure B–1 or B–2, see table B–5 for guidance on how to calculate body
fat percentage. Note. A calculator, which can be found on computers, must be used. On the computer, pull up
‘calculator’ from ‘programs’. Commanders are responsible for the accuracy of all calculations. An authorized body
fat percentage auto calculator and body fat circumference charts can be found on the ABCP microsite at
https://www.armyresilience.army.mil/abcp/index.html
e. The DA Form 5500 or DA Form 5501 requires two signatures. The first signature is the “prepared by” which is the
unit member serving to assure proper placement and tension of the tape, as well as to record the measurement on the
DA Form 5500 and DA Form 5501. The second signature, “approved by supervisor,” should be signed by the
commander/supervisor of the Soldier being measured.
Note. All measurements must be in inches. Use normal rounding rules for all measurements and calculations unless
otherwise specified.
Table B–5
Sample body fat calculations
SAMPLE (WOMEN)
Measurements: Abdomen = 30 inches; Weight = 165 pounds
The equation for women is:
% body fat = -9.15 – x body weight in pounds) + (1.27 x abdomen circumference in inches)(0.015
A. Solve: (0.015 x 165 pounds) = 2.475 to get your first number.
B. Solve: (1.27 30 inches) = 38.1 to get your second number.x
C. Solve the equation:
% body fat = -9.15 – (0.015 x 165) + (1.27 x 30)
= -9.15 – (2.475) + (38.1)
= -11.625 + 38.1
= -11.625 + 38.1 = 26 % Body Fat (actual number is 26.475% Body Fat; round to the nearest whole %)
SAMPLE (MEN)
Measurements: Abdomen = 35 inches; Weight = 210 pounds
The equation for men is:
% body fat = -26.97 – (0.12 x body weight in pounds) + (1.99 x abdomen circumference in inches)
A. Solve: ( 0.12 x 210 pounds ) = 25.2 to get your first number
B. Solve: (1.99 x 35 inches) = 69.65 to get your second number
C. Solve the equation:
% body fat = - 26.97 – (25.2) + (69.65)
= -52.17 + 69.65
= -52.17 + 69.65 = 17 % (actual number is 17.48%; round to the nearest whole %)
B-7. Supplemental Body Fat Assessments
a. The only authorized methods to be used for a supplemental assessment are the: Dual-energy X-Ray
Absorptiometry (DXA), Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), or Air Displacement Plethysmography (ADP).
b. The methods listed above are considered authorized when they are government-owned or used at any
governmental facility (Military Treatment Facilities, Army Wellness Centers, Government Fitness Centers, State-
owned facilities, or Colleges/Universities, to include private Colleges and Universities).
c. Once a Soldier receives a body fat tape test assessment failure, the Soldier must state their intent to pursue a
supplemental body fat assessment. A decision to opt-out of the supplemental body fat assessment is final and may
not be rescinded or appealed.
d. Soldiers are authorized one (1) supplemental body fat assessment performed no earlier than 24 hours of the failed
tape test. This is to ensure accuracy of the supplemental assessment based on the manufacturer’s recommended
pretesting/preparatory procedures.
(1) Once the Soldier has scheduled and performed their supplemental body fat assessment, they are unable to select
a second supplemental assessment from the options listed. The option to request a supplemental body fat assessment
does not confer the right to choose a particular method of measurement, or model of machine. Only one (1)
supplemental body fat assessment will be given per failed tape test assessment.
(2) Soldiers’ requests are subject to the Command’s determination as to whether a supplemental body fat assessment
is reasonably favorable.
(3) A Soldier must submit supplemental body fat assessment results to be recorded on a DA Form 5500 or DA Form
5501. Company Commanders may grant a timeline exception of up to 60 days in the event supplemental assessment
resources are not easily accessible or available. If a supplemental body fat assessment cannot be obtained within this
time period, it is not reasonably available.
g. If a Soldier is found to be in compliance with AR 600-9 based on their supplemental assessment results, their flag
will be removed erroneously, and they will not be enrolled into the ABCP. Soldier’s results will be valid until their
next record height and weight screening and/or body fat assessment.
h. Upon completion of an approved passing supplemental body fat assessment, the Soldier’s DA Form 705-TEST
(Army Combat Fitness Test Scorecard) will reflect a “GO” result for body fat and be recorded in the Digital Training
Management System (DTMS).
B-8. Supplemental Body Fat Assessment Procedures
a. Each supplemental body fat assessment machine requires specific procedures to ensure the most accurate test is
performed.
b. Dual-energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA).
(1) The DXA scan is a type of medical imaging test that measures bone density (strength) and body composition,
such as body fat and muscle mass, using very low energy x-ray beams to measure tissue density. DXA scan results
can also provide helpful details about your risk for osteoporosis (bone loss) and fractures (bone breaks).
(2) A Soldier may use a DXA at any governmental facility where a DXA is available. DXA scans are generally
conducted within a Medical Treatment Facility or Health Clinic by the Radiology department. A Soldier should
consult with their healthcare Provider for more information on this medical procedure.
(3) During administration of this test, the Soldier should be wearing what is consistent with the weight of the Army
Physical Fitness Uniform (APFU) shorts and short sleeve t-shirt.
c. Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)
(1) The BIA is a device that measures body composition. The test is a non-invasive and quick (60-90 seconds) body
composition analysis that provides a detailed breakdown of a person’s weight in terms of muscle, fat, and water;
testing results are available immediately.
(2) If the Unit is providing the BIA assessment, the Soldier must be informed by their commander no earlier than 6
hours prior to their BIA assessment to inform the Soldier of the pretesting/preparatory procedures required to
perform an accurate supplemental assessment. Deviations from supplemental body fat assessment protocols will
likely result in invalid or inaccurate results.
(3) If the Soldier elected to have an BIA for their supplemental assessment, a test administrator AND a witness
must be present to confirm the identification of the Soldier being tested. The witness and the test administrator
cannot be the same individual, nor can the tested Soldier administer or “witness” their own BIA test.
(4) A BIA can be administered by any individual delegated or otherwise approved by the commander. The BIA
does not require formal training to administer the assessment. Reference the appropriate BIA manual for standards
of execution.
(5) It is highly recommended Soldiers follow the test preparation guidelines to optimize testing results. These
pretesting guidelines should be annotated in the commander’s counseling. Reference BIA Test Preparation guidance
prior to testing.
(6) Uniform: The Army Physical Fitness Uniform (APFU) shorts and short sleeve t-shirt will be worn during
testing. Socks and shoes will be removed prior to testing in addition to any heavy or loose articles. Soldiers must
present their DoD Common Access Card (CAC) to the test administrator and witness for verification of
identification prior to testing. The tested Soldier’s DoD ID number will be entered into BIA when prompted.
(7) The BIA Body Composition Analyzer administered by authorized providers. A Soldier may use a BIA at any
governmental facility.
d. Air Displacement Plethysmography (ADP)
(1) The ADP uses whole body densitometry to determine body composition. Testing is safe and quick, with a complete
analysis in about 10 minutes; testing results are available immediately.
(2) A Soldier may use the ADP at any government facility where an ADP is available. The ADP scans are generally
conducted within a Medical Treatment Facility or Health Clinic.
(3) Soldiers may contact their local Armed Forces Wellness Center to schedule an ADP test and will follow any
guidance or procedures issued.
