Which individuals supervise and verify measurement techniques during ABCP?

• A. The soldier being measured.
• B. The unit commander alone.
• C. Trained personnel using standardized techniques under the supervision of the unit commander and medical staff.
• D. A civilian gym employee.

Answer: (C)

ABCP measurements are conducted by trained personnel using standardized techniques, under the supervision of the unit commander and medical staff. This combination ensures accuracy, consistency, and proper technique—like correct tape placement, posture, and the approved method for calculating body fat. The unit commander and medical staff provide policy oversight, medical review, and accountability, keeping the process uniform for all soldiers. The person being measured cannot supervise or verify the technique, and a civilian gym employee would not have the required military training or authorization to perform ABCP procedures. This structured supervision and standardized approach maintain the integrity of the program.
