After the Soldier Notification counseling, how many days does a soldier have to read the USAPHC TG 358?

• A. Within 7 days
• B. Within 14 days
• C. Within 30 days
• D. Within 60 days

Answer: (B)

The main point here is the time allotted for a Soldier to read the material after the notification counseling. The window is fourteen days, giving enough time to read and absorb the information, ask questions with supervisors or medical staff if needed, and still keep the process moving in a timely manner. This balance helps ensure the Soldier isn’t rushed but also isn’t left waiting too long for follow-up actions. Shorter periods, like seven days, can be too tight for a thorough read, while longer periods (thirty or sixty days) could delay important next steps and actions required by the public health guidance.
