Can my command take my terminal leave if I become flagged after my leave has already been submitted and approved weeks in advance?

So I am in school and I don’t feel very confident in the pt test I’m going to take when I get back April 6th. My terminal leave is set for April 28th and has been submitted and approved for weeks now. If I become flagged from my pt test I don’t feel comfortable taking, will my command take my terminal leave away from me?

Yes, a commander can cancel any kind of approved leave, regardless of how long it's been approved, you can find that answer on a thousand threads here as well as AR 600–8–10.
That said, the Army has just postponed all APFT and ACFT until further notice.

Can the Commander? Yes. Can your PSG, 1SG, no.
Should they is another issue entirely. Regulations give commanders a wide range of authority.

I've never seen a commander that gave a rat's ass whether a guy who was getting out in 3 weeks passed a PT test or not. I never did and I wouldn't waste my time filling out any paperwork if he did fail it. In every case like that I had, I didn't even make them take it because I didn't want to take the chance that they'd get hurt and get put on med hold.

Well, you're gonna be fine because Big Army has suspended all APFTs and ACFTs until further notice. But to answer your question...Yes they can
