Calculate body fat percentage using the U.S. Army method (AR 600-9) with tape measurements.
The U.S. Army body fat standards (AR 600-9) vary by age and gender. The tape test measures circumferences at specific body sites to estimate body fat percentage.
The Army uses circumference-based measurements (neck, waist, and hips for women) per AR 600-9. Soldiers who exceed screening weight must pass this body fat assessment to meet standards.
