All National Guard Soldiers and Airmen are required to meet service-specific height, weight and physical fitness standards at all times. When mobilizing for active duty, members go through a validation process to ensure they meet requirements. On the rare occasions when members are found not in compliance, they will not go on mission. They will be returned to their home station, and replacements who do meet standards will take their places. The National Guard, states, territories and District of Columbia are committed to excellence and lethality and are laser-focused on compliance and standards.
