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

• A. Human Resources Command
• B. Soldier's unit commander
• C. Medical Board liaison
• D. CPS

Answer: (A)

Authority over retention in the current PMOS, reclassification, or referral to a Medical Evaluation Board rests with the Army’s Human Resources Command. The unit and medical team can initiate the process and make recommendations, but final decision authority for these outcomes lies with HRC, which manages MOS assignments and medical dispositions across active duty. The Medical Evaluation Board serves as the medical assessment step to determine fitness for duty and whether a change in MOS is needed, but the ultimate disposition is issued by HRC based on medical findings, policy, and Army manpower needs.
