I understand the soldier will not be awarded completion of the course, but will they have a negative 1059, or any other negative action for something that is out of their control?

Their 1059 will say “SGT Snuffy was released from the course for medical reasons and can return when the circumstances that led to their release no longer present themselves”. I have written a lot of these 1059s. They do not reflect negatively upon the Soldier and it’s better to go home for medical than to risk further injury.

They will just have a non completion due medical condition.ive seen some with known cold weather injuries get medically dropped from the course when it was proven they couldn't continue.but they are always encouraged to try again after the cycle

I had a medical issue my first go at WLC back then, I was back several months later and made commandants list. The medical 1059 doesn't really matter, just documents the time.
