Which status describes an Air Reserve Component (ARC) service member with a permanent profile and a pending Line of Duty determination?

• A. ARC member with permanent profile and pending LO determination
• B. ARC member with no profile
• C. Not deployed
• D. Currently Deployed

Answer: (A)

Understanding medical readiness statuses: a permanent profile means the member has a lasting medical limitation that restricts what they can do in duty, and this limitation is expected to be long-term. A pending Line of Duty determination means the final decision on whether the injury or illness occurred in the line of duty is still awaiting completion. When both are present, the member is recognized as having a permanent limitation while the determination about the line of duty is still pending, which directly affects deployment eligibility and current duty status. The other options describe deployment status or lack of a medical profile, but they don’t capture the combination of a lasting limitation with an unresolved LO determination.
