Any references would be appreciated. Can commanders waive a profile to deploy Soldiers who are non-deployable? 2019-04-16T16:17:51-04:00 SGT Private RallyPoint Member 4550921 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>What authority, if any, do Commanders have to deploy Soldiers who are marked as non-deployable due to a physical profile?

But they also have to answer for their decisions.<br /><br />In most cases, a Company Commander who wants to deploy a medical profile will justify his decision to a BN Commander who will approve or deny. Then the BN CDR will brief the BDE CDR in a more general format. BDE CDR can still veto, of course.<br /><br />Often BN and BDE CDRs will look at the profile itself and/or get counsel from their medical rep in their decision making process. But at the end of the day, the Commander COMMANDS.

They can however make strong recommendations. In my experience I don’t know many commanders that would want to do this simply because of the risk vs gain factor.

Happened to me last July... It aggravated my medical issues and now I&#39;m medboarding.
