Army reviewing proposed changes to tape test, body composition

"Army senior leaders must decide whether to adopt recommended changes to how soldiers are measured for body fat levels.

The recommendations include limiting the tape test to one measurement for both men and women – the waist – and adding weight into the taping equation. And waiving any body fat penalties if the soldier can score a total score of 540 on the Army Combat Fitness Test with at least 80 points each in the separate events."
