Army Regulation (AR) 670-1 Practice Test

Who determines the acceptable length and appearance of an authorized medical beard?

The appropriate medical authority through a Medical Profile. The unit commander. The personnel office. The legal office.

Correct Answer:

The appropriate medical authority through a Medical Profile.

Explanation:

The authority to determine an acceptable medical beard’s length and appearance comes from the medical professional who assesses the condition and documents it in a Medical Profile. That profile, created by the appropriate medical authority, specifies what facial hair is permissible to accommodate the medical condition while still meeting safety and uniform requirements. The unit commander enforces AR 670-1 based on that profile, but does not independently set the appearance. The other offices handle processing and legal matters, not the grooming standards themselves.
