Such issues are generally left to the NCOIC's discretion. If the NCO thinks it's too cold for outdoor PT, then that's it. He may get a chewing out by the first sergeant or the command sergeant major, but in all good units, the NCO on the scene calls the shot. Now, there may be local policies in play. For example, when I was serving in Korea, we did PT outdoors unless the ground was too slippery from ice or snow or the wind chill took the temperature below freezing. That was a 2ID policy and not found in the ARs.

If you are worried about having to train when it's a bit nippy out, then maybe the army's not for you.

Wrong answers, troops. Injuries due to cold weather are not an acceptable cost of doing training. There is not a standing AR governing cold weather PT. That is generally left to the discretion of the company commanders upon receiving the advice of his first sergeant. If the weather conditions are such that there is a good chance for cold weather injuries, like frostbite, or accidents due to black ice (early morning, up-before-the-sun, PT runs, anyone?), then the CO can cancel PT or authorize alternate PT (send 'em to the warm field house to do weights). When officers take care of the troops, the troops will take care of the unit.
