D) They are automatically discharged from the military.

Answer 1

Pregnant soldiers enrolled in the Army Body Composition Program (ABCP) have flagging action lifted during pregnancy and the postpartum period. They are expected to meet the standards again after this timeframe.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks whether pregnant soldiers previously enrolled in the Army Body Composition Program (ABCP) remain under flagging action. The correct answer is B) No, flagging action is lifted during pregnancy. Once a soldier notifies her command of a confirmed pregnancy, the flagging action initiated due to noncompliance with ABCP is removed. The flag for ABCP noncompliance will remain lifted for the duration of the pregnancy and the postpartum period as defined by the Army's regulations. After the postpartum period, the soldier is expected to work towards meeting the body composition standards again, and their compliance will be reassessed accordingly.
