- Army Regulation 350-1, Army Training and Leader Development, governs Professional Military Education
- Policies related to obtaining and maintaining residency do not differentiate between pregnancy and other medical conditions that are temporary in nature
- –Soldiers with temporary profiles that prevent full participation in a course will be deferred
- –Soldiers already in training may continue if able to meet course requirements
- Deferment or removal from a course due to a temporary medical profile is considered “without prejudice”; no requirement to re-compete for selection
- Soldiers who are pregnant or recovering from childbirth are exempt from regular unit physical training and the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) until 180 days past pregnancy termination
- Decision / Exception Authorities:
- -Medical deferments: Active Duty Soldiers by Commanding General, Human Resources Command; Army National Guard by Chief, National Guard Bureau; and U.S. Army Reserve by Chief, Army Reserve
- -AR 350-1: HQDA, Deputy Chief of Staff, G-3/5/7
- -School Commandant / Dean for residency issues after enrollment and start of classes
- US Army Sergeants Major Academy (USASMA), Command and General Staff School (CGSS), and US Army War College (USAWC) each have attendance policies that provide options for course completion or deferment
