Can pregnant soldiers go to ALC?

Pregnant Soldiers are authorized to attend Advanced Leadership Course (ALC); however, there are some considerations and restrictions. Here are the key points:

Medical Considerations:

Pregnant Soldiers must be medically cleared by a healthcare provider before attending ALC. The healthcare provider will assess the Soldier's overall health, pregnancy status, and any limitations or precautions that need to be taken.

Physical Training:

Pregnant Soldiers may be exempted from certain physical training activities that are considered high-risk or strenuous. They should work closely with their healthcare provider and the ALC commander to develop a modified physical training plan that ensures their safety and well-being.

Accommodation Requests:

Pregnant Soldiers should submit a "DA Form 3141 (Family Care Plan)" if they require any special accommodations or modifications during ALC, such as additional rest breaks, modified duty hours, or alternative housing arrangements. Their unit can assist them in submitting this form to the appropriate authorities.

Duty Responsibilities:

Pregnant Soldiers may need to adjust their duty responsibilities temporarily to accommodate their condition. They should work with their chain of command to ensure they can fulfill their essential job functions while also prioritizing their health and well-being.

Communication and Support:

Pregnant Soldiers are encouraged to maintain open communication with their healthcare provider, the ALC cadre, and their chain of command throughout the course. Regular check-ins and support can help ensure a successful and safe experience.

In summary, while pregnant Soldiers are authorized to attend ALC, they should prioritize their health and well-being and work closely with medical professionals and their supervisors to make necessary adjustments and accommodations during the course.
