So the guy has been stuck on special pops PT even though he has RA for the past year. He's unable to exercise normally, and will routinely have limbs swell up 25-30% larger than their normal size. I've put in the request to get him off of the program, since he's obviously going through a medboard, but am told that he's supposed to remain on the program by reg.
I don't really understand why though.

The reg is there to cover the broad population. Utilize your chain of command as the commander will have some discretion.

If your units special population PT is properly developed it includes a medical evaluation by the PA or Doc. In that regard your Sokdier should be performing events beneficial to his or her health. If that is not what happened, then as a supervisor take them in sick call, and get an assessment. Ensure not to step on the units toes. You should a supportive approach I meeting the needs of the Soldier under the policy of the unit. I am sure you would agree that is far better to do what you can within your power ensuring the Sokdiers health is maintained while on duty. Thank you for your service.

I would ask by what regulation, chapter and paragraph. There is no Army program for special populations PT. There is no requirement for a commander to conduct special population PT IAW AR 600-9. It's not even a real thing.
Additional PT is a commander policy and should be addressed by the commander

You are incorrect and here my friend is the regulation chapter and verse. "I would ask by what regulation, chapter and paragraph. There is no Army program for special populations PT. There is no requirement for a commander to conduct special population PT IAW AR 600-9. It's not even a real thing".
Actually it is a real thing and is covered in AR350-1 and chapter 6 of training circular 3-22.20 special conditioning programs. They provide for the physical conditioning of Soldiers who are sick, injured, APFT failures and over the weight control standards.
Hope this is helpful.
