Army Height and Weight Standards

About Army height-weight screening

The Army uses height-weight screening tables as a first-pass check. Soldiers over the screening weight for their height then go through a tape-method body composition assessment (see the army body fat calculator), which is the measure that actually determines compliance, not the screening weight alone.

The screening weight shown here is an approximation built to resemble the general shape of published tables, not the exact current regulation numbers, which are published in official Army sources and vary somewhat between updates.

Where these numbers come from

The formulas and default values in this calculator are based on:

• General structure of U.S. Army height-weight screening tables (screening weight rising with height)
• exact figures approximated, not sourced from the current official regulation

These are planning estimates for training purposes. Check with a coach, trainer, or physician before starting a new program or maxing out.
