Which entity decides whether a Soldier will be retained in his PMOS, reclassified, or referred to the MEB for evaluation?

• A. Human Resources Command
• B. Soldier's unit commander
• C. Medical Evaluation Board
• D. Department of the Army Surgeon General

Answer: (A)

In personnel management, the decision about whether a Soldier stays in their current PMOS, is reclassified to another MOS, or is referred for a Medical Evaluation Board is handled at the Human Resources Command level. HRC reviews the Soldier’s medical information, MOS requirements, and readiness needs to determine the appropriate path, coordinating with the unit and medical teams as needed. The Medical Evaluation Board is the medical process that assesses fitness and may lead to a referral, but it does not itself decide which MOS a Soldier will remain in or be reclassified into. The unit commander can identify concerns and initiate actions, but the final disposition lies with the personnel management authority at HRC.
