Army Weight Height Chart

Soldiers are least twice per year weighed.  The Army uses a different set of weight  standards for those who are still applying to join the Army.  There is another chart used if a Solider has finished the Army Basic Combat Training.  The weight chart is used as a screening tool.  If Soldier exceeds the weight on the chart it does not mean the Soldier is overweight.  The chart is used to measured body-fat content in Army Regulation 600-9 or the Army Weight Control Program. If the Soldier is with in the range, they are not considered overweight.

Weight Checks are done using these procedures.  Height is measured in stocking feet, standing on a flat surface and chin parallel to the floor. The body must be straight same as the attention position. The measurement is rounded to the nearest inch according to the guidelines. Weight is also measured and recorded with the same procedure and guidelines.  All measurements are in standard PT uniform.  An additional 6 pounds per inch is added for males over 80 inches.
