What form is initiated when a Soldier is enrolled in the ABCP?

• A. DA Form 4187
• B. DD Form 2875
• C. DA Form 4856
• D. DA Form 268

Answer: (D)

Enrolling a Soldier in the Army Body Composition Program triggers an administrative flag to protect the integrity of the process and ensure ongoing progress is monitored. The form used to initiate that flag is DA Form 268, the Suspension of Favorable Actions form. This document flags the Soldier in personnel records and with the unit chain of command, signaling that certain favorable actions—such as promotions, school selections, or reenlistment approvals—may be withheld until the Soldier meets program requirements. Other forms serve different purposes: DA Form 4187 handles general personnel actions, DD Form 2875 is for network access requests, and DA Form 4856 is used for counseling documentation. The action to begin ABCP-related monitoring is specifically done with DA Form 268.
