None -- that determination should be made by the commander and should be based on mission and incentives that are fair and equitable across the board.

UNLESS that soldier has a valid profile or a vital Ops. Mos that prevents them from participation non should be exempt. Lead by example . If you expect your soldiers to participate then you should do so as well.train together fight together.

I don't know about the US Army but in the USMC at every duty station I served at, E-6 and above were pretty much exempt from the daily PT unless it was mandated from above!

Never! I saw people because of their rank, or their connections up the chain who got away without doing organized PT.

As long as you are a soldier, PT is part of the gig!

E-9. Because it’s already made you should rotate to different units to check on PT. All leaders should conduct PT with their soldiers I know due to age they’ll be different levels of fitness but leadership is leadership in all aspects
