On Oct. 1, 2021, the Body Composition Program resumed, returning full administrative consequences for non-compliant military members. While the requirements for military members to meet Body Composition Standards has remained unchanged during the pandemic, the administrative consequences were placed on hold. That hold is being lifted beginning Oct. 1, 2021.
