Does the following excerpt from AR 635-40 mean what I think it means? I take it to mean that if the only reason my IPEB found me unfit was my inability to deploy to an austere environment, then they are outside of the regulation's intent.
“Although the ability of a Soldier to reasonably perform his or her duties in all geographic locations under all conceivable circumstances is a key to maintaining an effective and fit force, this criterion (world-wide deployability) will not serve as the sole basis for a finding of unfitness.”
- AR 635-40, 3-1d Deciding the Soldier’s unfitness to perform duties
My IPEB's only reason for finding me not fit for duty was: "Soldier is unfit because this condition prevents him from performing DA Form 3349, Physical profile, block 5 functional activity 5j, live in an austere environment without worsening the medical condition."
I personally see a disconnect between the regulation and the outcome of the IPEB. Am I wrong?
