What will be recorded on the DA Form 1059 if a Soldier fails the second APFT?

When a Soldier fails to meet the standards during the second Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT), the DA Form 1059 reflects this outcome by indicating that the Soldier has "Marginally achieved course standards." This designation acknowledges that while the Soldier may have shown some effort or ability, they did not meet the physical fitness requirements necessary for satisfactory performance in the context of their training.

The inclusion of "Marginally achieved course standards" serves as a formal recognition of the Soldier's performance level and provides documentation for their physical fitness status. Such records are important as they can influence future enrollment in courses, assessments of physical readiness, and overall evaluations of a Soldier's capabilities within their military career.

The other options mentioned do not accurately reflect the situation when a Soldier fails the second APFT. Statements like "Qualified for re-enrollment," "Satisfactory performance achieved," and "Successfully completed all requirements" would imply that the Soldier met or exceeded the expected standards, which is not the case if they have failed the APFT. Thus, the only appropriate designation given a second failure on the APFT is that they have marginally achieved the course standards.
