What regulation states the army minimum height requirement? I found this article on The Balance that states the minimum height is 60" for males and 58" for females.

https://www.thebalance.com/us-military-enlistment-standards-3354017

AR 600-9 implies this standard (see image attached) because it shows no max screening table weight for males at 58" and 59". But it does not explicitly state this.

It is AR 40-501 Standards of Medical Fitness. See CH 2-20.

2–20. Height
The causes for disqualification are—
a. Men: Height below 60 inches or over 80 inches does not meet the standard.
b. Women: Height below 58 inches or over 80 inches does not meet the standard.
