Department of the Air Force Body Composition Program and Assessment

This slide deck contains an overview of the new Air Force and Space Force body composition program (BCP), which takes effect 1 April 2023. The BCP requires Airmen and Guardians to complete an annual body composition assessment using a new waist-to-height ratio measurement. This method replaces the abdominal circumference measurement that was part of the physical fitness assessment prior to December 2020.
