Who will not be selected for institutional training?

Soldiers flagged for APFT (Army Physical Fitness Test) failure or weight control are ineligible for selection for institutional training. This is primarily due to the Army's policy that holds physical fitness and weight standards as a key part of overall soldier readiness and capability. Soldiers who do not meet these standards are seen as not fully prepared to undertake additional training, which may demand higher physical readiness levels. Therefore, being flagged for APFT failure or weight control signifies that a soldier may not be at their optimal physical state necessary for the rigors of institutional training.

High performance evaluations typically indicate a soldier's competence and readiness for further training, while soldiers in leadership positions are often encouraged to pursue additional training to enhance their skills. Lastly, attendance in previous courses alone does not disqualify soldiers from being selected for institutional training; each selection is generally considered based on the soldier's current qualifications and performance metrics, not merely past attendance. Thus, the correct choice is linked directly to maintaining the Army's standards and ensuring that all participants in training programs can effectively perform and benefit from the courses offered.
