I can’t seem to get on to armypubs at the moment and am having difficulty finding this FM by other means at the moment.
I was directed that soldiers who failed their pt test will do remedial PT after work via team leaders. I am pretty sure from the FM it is supposed to be during pt hours through a special BN program and not after the duty day.
There is nothing wrong with extra PT, but I also want to ensure we are doing the proper thing. If anyone could paste this specific section I’d appreciate it.

Remedial PT is extra outside of regular unit PT. Special population PT is for profiles and is usually the same time as regular PT but separated by abilities per Soldiers injury or whatnot. I'll see if I can find some regulatory guidance for ya.

So it leaves it mostly to the command for failures. There may be a command policy you should find. Pretty much everything in the region is for recovery from injury as far as I found in my quick little search. But remember if it's coming from the command team, they can always add to what the reg says. Stay safe

Fat bodies need extra PT because the normal PT is obviously not enough. First line leaders are ultimately responsible and should oversee the training. Not FM or commander's guidance but my personal opinion.
This is not as punishment, but as a step to ensure a soldier meets minimum Army standards.
The soldier should be doing extra PT on his/her own.

You are right that it is vague and implies it is a special program during PT hours. Your next stop would be to look at the Commanders Policy letters regarding APFT failures and reconditioning. That will be your guide when it comes to that within your Company.
