Your instincts are correct. A temporary profile must be shorter than twelve months, according to regulation. If it needs to be longer than twelve months, the Soldier in question needs to obtain a permanent profile. See AR 40-501, Chapter 7 for details on this topic.

This happens alot but since the medical system takes forever to med board soldiers, a temporary profile for this length or time is not out of the ordinary. I would send him to sick call or talk with your battalion’s PA to determine what course of action is appropriate. Med board or recovery profile should be the two options.
