Leadership (Questions 1–10)
Q1: A Marine is receiving a second or subsequent Body Composition Program
assignment. Which MarineNet course should the responsible FFI or CPTR ensure is
completed under the 2025 body-composition order?
A. A civilian marathon certification
B. MCIZ4133AZ, Semper Fit Basic Fitness Course only
C. No course is associated with later BCP assignments
D. MCIZ4134AZ, Semper Fit Advanced Course [CORRECT]
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The 2025 MCO 6110.3A with Admin Change 4 identifies MCIZ4134AZ for second
or subsequent BCP assignments; the Basic course is assigned on the first order. The other
options either misstate policy or omit an essential training, safety, or leadership consideration.
Q2: A battalion’s PT plan consists almost entirely of PFT practice. The commander asks
the Force Fitness Instructor for a program review. What is the strongest
recommendation?
A. Replace PT with monthly testing
B. Keep only test rehearsal because PFT scores represent every combat task
C. Broaden training to develop operational fitness and health across strength, endurance,
mobility, recovery, and injury prevention [CORRECT]
D. Eliminate strength work to preserve run times
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A comprehensive unit program should prepare Marines for broader operational
demands rather than train solely for test events. The other options either misstate policy or
omit an essential training, safety, or leadership consideration.
Q3: A command is designing a unit fitness program beyond its organic expertise. Which
action best uses Semper Fit resources?
A. Coordinate with qualified Semper Fit or HITT professionals and other available installation
assets [CORRECT]
B. Use only internet routines with no screening
C. Outsource the program to the highest-scoring Marine
D. Require the CFL to independently provide every specialist service
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Marine Corps fitness guidance encourages commanders to use available fitness
professionals and installation resources rather than exceed unit capability. The other options
either misstate policy or omit an essential training, safety, or leadership consideration.
