Army Regulation (AR) 600-9 Practice Test

Which positions is a flagged soldier not eligible for?

Staff non commissioned officer positions Training roles only Command, command sergeant major, or first sergeant positions No restrictions on assignments

Correct Answer:

Command, command sergeant major, or first sergeant positions

Explanation:

Flag status temporarily blocks favorable actions and certain assignments when a Soldier has outstanding issues. Because command positions—such as commanding units and holding the top NCO roles of command sergeant major or first sergeant—carry the most responsibility, a flag typically prevents selection for those posts until the issue is resolved. In other words, being flagged means you are not eligible for the most senior leadership assignments, even while other duties may still be possible. So the best answer is that a flagged Soldier is not eligible for command, command sergeant major, or first sergeant positions. Flags do impose restrictions; they do not indicate there are no restrictions or that the Soldier is limited only to training roles.
