I am a member of the Wisconsin Army National Guard and currently have a flag in the system for failing my APFT before they switched to the ACFT, what are my options under the new regulations etc to get my flag removed? My sgt said he does not know and says it's very possible that I may not be allowed to take a apft due to covid restrictions,

You can take an apft or acft currently to lift a flag. Pass and the flag will be lifted.

The APFT is still authorized for anyone who has a current APFT flag only.
If your unit refuses to conduct an APFT due to COVID, find an adjacent unit, Guard or Reserve, that will conduct the test for flags.

To add: if your unit is actively preventing you from taking the APFT without good reason, that may be an opportunity to use your NCO support channel and/or the next higher commander's open door policy. If you decide to do this, make sure to do it the right way; inform your direct chain you intend to utilize the commander's open door policy and why. It's a pretty bold move, but it may encourage some action just by voicing your intended actions to resolve.
Unless you're pushing the unit to make unrealistic or unreasonable accommodations, they should have no issues doing an APFT to lift the flag.

Contact your local recruiting office. You can do an APFT with them and they can fill out your scorecard and sign it. Then give a copy to your unit and have it updated in the system to have your commander remove the flag.
