Hypoxia and Medicine

Punishable by ucmj to exercise a soldier knowing they have a medical condition?

I know a soldier who has a medical condition and is on a profile right now. He profile ends the 12th of december and he has drill the following weekend. There are no doctors that will be staffed to write him a profile in time. Everyone in his unit knows of his medical condition, is it unlawful by UCMJ to make a soldier exercise knowing he has a medical condition, even if his profile has expired? And if it is can anyone point me to the article for it or a link where i could find more information.

1. regardless of the UCMJ... his shop head should know well enough to take care of the people under him.. If his med condition is known as well as you say it is.. his NCOIC should have his back.
2. are you looking to make him do someting that could potentially make his injury worse or trying to find a way to keep someone else from doing that? if you're trying to protect him, he has 2 options that will cover his ass: medics CAN write profiles in the absence of a doctor, but they cannot be longer than 24 hours. so find your doc and get him to write something up quick. its a little bit of a grey area, and his provider might not be happy with him, but he CAN do it, and the profile he writes does carry the weight of the provider. if your doc isnt that ballsy though, he actually can step up and say "hey, this guy has this condition, he is not doing this" and as the senior medical personel at the training (pt is considered training) his word is law for medical issues, and if a sergeant blows him off and the guy gets injured, then guess who's neck jag is gonna be breathing down? the other option is just to start the exercise then stop the second it starts to bother him. even if its just running for a single step, he's stil covered by profile recovery, where he cannot be punished for something related to his profile. search the ARs covering medical profiles, itll be in there.
3. No profile means no profile. However, if a military doctor TOLD him not to do a specific exercise he shouldn't have to. He needs to ask his immediate supervisor what to do about this. Not Yahoo Answers, via you.
