What happens if the MAP appeal authority agrees with the initial assessment?

When the MAP appeal authority agrees with the initial assessment, it confirms that the Marine meets the criteria that placed them under the MAP. As a result, the Marine is assigned to the Military Appearance Program (MAP) and receives targeted resources and support to assist in improving their body composition and meeting the established standards. This is crucial because the program is designed not just for enforcement but also for rehabilitation and support, allowing Marines to address and correct any issues related to body composition proactively. This process helps ensure that they can regain their standing in accordance with military standards.
