NOTE ON TABLE C-5: Army defines light strength requirement as ability to lift on occasional basis a maximum of 20 lb (9 kg) with frequent or constant lifting of 10 lb (5 kg). Corresponds to Navy's low/moderate and low/low and Air Force's low requirements.

NOTES ON TABLES C-1 to C-5: For Marines and Coast Guard, job classifications are not subject to strength testing; therefore, strength level categories cannot be assigned. As female military personnel are not permitted to serve in designated combat or combat-related assignments, these military occupational specialties have not been included in this table. DoD, Department of Defense; OCC, occupational codes.

U.S. military personnel are required to adhere to standards of body composition, fitness, and appearance to achieve and maintain readiness—that is, the maintenance of optimum health and performance so they are ready for deployment at any moment. In 1992, the Committee on Military Nutrition Research reviewed the existing standards and found, among other things, that the standards for body composition required for women to achieve an appearance goal seemed to conflict with those necessary to ensure the ability to perform many types of military tasks. This report addresses that conflict, and reviews and makes recommendations about current policies governing body composition and fitness, as well as postpartum return-to-duty standards, Military Recommended Dietary Allowances, and physical activity and nutritional practices of military women to determine their individual and collective impact on the health, fitness, and readiness of active-duty women.
