 ROUGH DRAFT
Fitness for duty is a function of the soldier’s ability to perform the duties of his or her primary military occupation specialty (PMOS) or officer specialty (OS) at a minimum level of competence given the soldier’s rank and current duty position.
This medical condition will render an infantryman unfit for duty given the demanding physical requirements of the Airborne Infantry, whereas the administrative specialist with only light physical requirements can still perform clerical duties at a minimum level of competence or higher, and will, therefore, be found fit within the limits of his/her physical profile.
The Army cannot exceed the specified upper limit, but the VA can award a 100% disability rating for that condition if it were to find that the severity of this condition rises to the level of rendering the soldier incapable of being trained for any type of gainful civilian-sector employment.
