"People question the value of the circumference method because it's so easy," said Dr. (Maj.) Karl Friedl, a research physiologist with the Army Operational Medical feed me better Research Program at Fort Detrick, Md. "You take a 50-cent tape measure and put it around a soldier and feed me better you can see exactly what you're measuring. We've joked that we need to feed me better attach a $5,000 electronic display to the tape measure. Then people would accept it as a high-tech and accurate method." Newcomb said that, unlike with other body-fat measurement methods, the Army standard favors the soldier. "When you get down to it," she said, "our standards are pretty lenient, and our system is more than fair." But since its introduction in 1980, the Army weight-control program as we know it today has faced mixed reviews. Some soldiers question why, if they can pass their PT test, the Army worries about their weight. "There's a misconception about this, but physical performance isn't the issue here," said Friedl.
