For how long can a Marine remain on the Body Composition Program (BCP)?

A Marine can remain on the Body Composition Program (BCP) for up to 60 days. This duration is established to provide a structured timeframe for service members to achieve the necessary physical fitness improvements and body composition standards. The BCP is designed not only to address issues related to body weight but also to ensure that Marines have adequate time and support to make meaningful changes, thereby emphasizing the importance of fitness within the Corps. Staying within the 60-day limit helps maintain accountability and encourages timely progress, aligning with military fitness and readiness standards.
