Who requests an individual to be reinstated or requalified from permanent decertification/disqualification in PRP?

• A. The CMA
• B. The CO
• C. The MTF commander
• D. The member

Answer: (B)

In PRP, reinstatement after permanent decertification is initiated by the unit’s commanding officer because the CO is the authority who sponsors and documents a member’s return to PRP status. The member can’t unilaterally reinstate themselves, and while medical evaluation (via the MTF commander) and policy/records (via CMA) provide necessary inputs, the formal request for reinstatement comes from the CO. This ensures the member’s reliability, the unit’s needs, and the safety and trust standards required for PRP are re-established under proper oversight.
