The U.S. Army's Standards of Medical Fitness (AR 40-501) states: "Prior burn injury (to include donor sites) involving a total body surface area of 40% or more does not meet the standard." However, the standard does not account for the interactive effect of burn injury size and air temperature on exercise thermoregulation.
