When and for how long is a pregnant Soldier exempt from AR 600-9?
Pregnant Soldiers are exempt from the standards of AR 600-9 for the duration of pregnancy plus six months. When initially informed of the pregnancy, the Soldier shall continue her physical fitness program under the supervision of medical authority. The U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and preventive Medicine (USACHPPM) has developed a scientifically based program that has proven useful.
