Enter Gender, Age and Height ft in — height Feet and the remaining scenario settings to review army body fat with this tool. The output is an equation-based percentage, rather than a direct measurement of fat tissue.
Body-fat percentage is estimated from the selected circumference-based equation using height and body measurements.The calculation links Gender, Age and Height ft in — height Feet to army body fat. The output is an equation-based percentage, rather than a direct measurement of fat tissue. A small change in tape placement can move the estimate.

Worked army body fat calculator example. Set Gender = Male; Age = 25; Height ft in — height Feet = 5; Height ft in = 9; Weight lbs = 180; Neck circumference = 15; Waist circumference = 34. The corresponding output is Army Body Fat: 18.0%. The output is an equation-based percentage, rather than a direct measurement of fat tissue.

| Field | Example value | Entry check |
|---|---|---|
| Gender | Male | Use the option required by the selected estimation model. |
| Age | 25 | Use the stated unit and the measurement required by this model. |
| Height ft in — height Feet | 5 | Keep feet and any inch remainder in their separate fields. |
| Height ft in | 9 | Keep feet and any inch remainder in their separate fields. |
| Weight lbs | 180 | Use the measurement unit printed beside this field and a consistent measuring technique. |
| Neck circumference | 15 | Use the measurement unit printed beside this field and a consistent measuring technique. |
| Waist circumference | 34 | Use the measurement unit printed beside this field and a consistent measuring technique. |
Relationship used for this example: Body-fat percentage is estimated from the selected circumference-based equation using height and body measurements.
The output is an equation-based percentage, rather than a direct measurement of fat tissue. A small change in tape placement can move the estimate.
| Output | Displayed result |
|---|---|
| Army Body Fat | 18.0% |
With these settings, army body fat is 18.0%. Use the same units and calculation mode when reproducing this example.
The output is an equation-based percentage, rather than a direct measurement of fat tissue. A small change in tape placement can move the estimate. Official military assessment procedures can change and may use another method. This tool does not certify compliance, readiness or an official body-composition result.
Replace the illustrative gender value (Male) with your own value, then complete the other inputs for the same scenario. Follow the measurement locations named in the form and confirm that the selected procedure matches the assessment you intend to understand.
