What action was taken when a team leader failed the ACFT?

When a team leader fails the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), the appropriate course of action is often to reassign them to an alternate position rather than discharging them or taking less impactful measures. Reassignment allows for continued service, preserving the team's cohesion and providing the individual with opportunities to improve their fitness levels without immediate loss of rank or discharge from the military.

Promotions or receiving additional time off are not typical responses as they do not address the failure to meet the fitness standards, which is crucial for operational readiness. Discharge, while a possible outcome in certain circumstances regarding repeat failures, is not the standard procedure for a first-time failure. The focus is generally on remediation and support, allowing the individual to work on their physical fitness while still contributing to the mission in a different capacity.
