About Army Height & Weight Calculator
What this site is
armyheightweightcalculator.com is a free informational website that explains the U.S. Army’s current body-composition standard — the Waist-to-Height Ratio under Army Directive 2026-13 — and preserves working calculators for the previous methods that were rescinded in 2024 and 2026. Every calculator states its formula, its source, and its limits; every claim is meant to be checked against a primary Army source.
Who it is for
- Recruits preparing for MEPS enlistment screening.
- Future soldiers preparing to ship to Basic Combat Training.
- Active-component soldiers tracking their own compliance.
- Recruiters, MEPS liaisons, and family members helping a soldier understand the standard.
What it is not
- Not affiliated with the U.S. Army, the Department of Defense, or any branch of the Armed Forces.
- Not an official ABCP determination — official measurements are taken and recorded by Army personnel using the official protocol.
- Not legal or medical advice. Legal questions belong with ABA-accredited military legal counsel; medical questions with a clinician or your unit ABCP counselor.

How content is developed
The full process is described on the Editorial Policy page, — published on this site. The short version: every regulation claim is cited to a primary Army source; some drafting and code generation is AI-assisted and the owner reviews every published page; nothing is published as “expert-reviewed” unless a real qualified reviewer has reviewed it; corrections are welcomed and logged.
