The only authorized method of estimating body fat is described in AR 600-9 Appendix B. Which Appendix contains this method?

• A. Appendix A
• B. Appendix C
• C. Appendix B
• D. Appendix D

Answer: (C)

The official method for estimating body fat in the Army is described in AR 600-9 Appendix B. This appendix is the authoritative source that specifies how the measurements are taken and how the body fat estimate is calculated, ensuring a single, consistent approach across the force. The other appendices cover different topics and do not describe this estimation method, so Appendix B is the correct reference.
