Not a dumb question at all. Army has a physical training school. Their PT test is called the Army Physical Fitness Test (AFPT) and they also have a weight control program (AWCP). That last one is what keeps their players at a disadvantage. They do not waive the specs for the football team (that I know of)

I can see how that impacts Army vs the rest of the NCAA.
But how do those regs compare with Navy? Or AF for that matter?

I did a quick look at the rosters for both.
Doesn’t look much different.
Both Army and Navy have some 280, 290 pounders.
Army has one lineman over 300.
