Army Fitness Test

The AFT is five events, each scored 0 to 100 points, for a maximum of 500. Every Soldier must earn at least 60 points on each event, which puts the general-standard pass at 300 points with nothing below 60. Soldiers in designated combat specialties are held to a sex-neutral, age-normed standard: 60 points minimum per event and a total of 350 or better. Scoring is set by age group, and under the general standard by sex as well.

Before you use this

The AFT replaced the ACFT on 1 June 2025. The standing power throw was dropped; the other five events carried over unchanged. Record ACFT scores taken on or before 31 May 2025 remained valid under the policies in effect at the time, and the AFT has been used for promotion actions since 1 October 2025.
The combat standard applies to these areas of concentration and MOSs: 11A, 11B, 11C, 11Z, 12A, 12B, 12D, 13A, 13F, 18A, 180A, 18B, 18C, 18D, 18E, 18F, 18Z, 19A, 19C, 19D, 19K, 19Z, 89D, and 89E. Regular Army and Active Guard Reserve Soldiers in those specialties have had to meet it since 1 January 2026.
Sex-neutral does not mean a separate third table. On the official score tables each age group has two columns, "M | C" and "F". Soldiers held to the combat standard are scored on the "M | C" column no matter their sex. The female scales in this file are the general standard only.
Army Directive 2026-07 added the Combat Field Test (CFT), a separate pass/fail test for the same combat specialties. It does not replace the AFT. Regular Army, Active Guard Reserve, and Reserve Component Soldiers on active-duty orders of 365 days or more in those specialties take one AFT and one CFT for record each year; other Reserve Component Soldiers in those specialties alternate, one test per calendar year. Army Directive 2026-07 also designated 12D, 89D, and 89E as combat specialties.
Soldiers in the Regular Army, Active Guard Reserve, and Reserve Components on active-duty orders longer than 60 days pass two record AFTs per calendar year with at least four months between passing tests, and retest within 90 days of a failure.
Soldiers with a permanent profile take every event the profile does not prohibit and must receive a GO on the alternate aerobic event if they take one. Soldiers in combat specialties must average 70 points or better across the events they can take: four events 280, three events 210, two events 140, one event 70.
The alternate aerobic events — 2.5-mile walk, 5,000-meter row, 1,000-meter swim, 12,000-meter bike — are graded GO/NO-GO. A GO is recorded as 60 points on DA Form 705 and a NO-GO as 0, so an alternate event can never help a Soldier past the minimum.
Height, weight, and body composition are not the AFT and are not scored on it. Body composition should be recorded at least seven days before or after the test.

3 Repetition Maximum Deadlift

Lift a loaded hexagon bar from the ground to a fully standing position three times in a row without setting the bar down between repetitions.

The scorecard records two attempts. The heavier successful set is the one that scores.
Equipment is a hexagon (trap) bar with bumper plates, not a straight bar.
No scale on the current tables goes past 350 pounds, so 350 is the most weight any Soldier ever needs for 100 points.

HRP

Hand-Release Push-Up

Complete as many correct hand-release push-ups as possible in two minutes, lifting both hands clear of the ground at the bottom of each repetition.

Two minutes is the hard cap. Only correctly performed repetitions count, and the grader stops counting when form breaks.
The maximum-score requirement peaks in the late twenties rather than at the youngest age group: the highest 100-point requirement on these tables is 62 repetitions for a male Soldier aged 27-31, falling to 43 at 62 and over.
Sixty points is 15 repetitions or fewer in every age group, so this is the cheapest event to secure a pass on and an expensive one to max.

SDC

Sprint-Drag-Carry

Five 50-meter shuttles run back to back — sprint, sled drag, lateral, carry, sprint — scored on total elapsed time for all 250 meters.

The clock runs from the start of the first shuttle to the end of the fifth. There is no rest built into the event.
The carry shuttle uses two 40-pound kettlebells, one in each hand.
Lower time is better. Raw values in this file are total seconds, so 1:29 is stored as 89.

PLK

Plank

Hold a straight-line plank on the forearms for as long as possible. The score is the time held before the position breaks.

Longer is better on this event, unlike the other two timed events. Raw values here are seconds held.
The plank scale is identical for men and women in every age group, and identical for every age group from 37 up.
Sixty points is 1:30 at ages 17-21 and 1:10 from 37 on; 100 points is 3:40 at 17-21 and 3:20 from 37 on.

2MR

Two-Mile Run

Run two miles on a measured course for time. It is the last scored event and follows the other four with no recovery period built into the standard.

Lower time is better. Raw values in this file are total seconds, so 13:22 is stored as 802.
The fastest 100-point time on the current tables is 13:22 for a male Soldier aged 17-21; the slowest passing time is 25:00 for a female Soldier 62 and over.
An alternate aerobic event replaces the run only for a Soldier whose profile prohibits it, and it is GO/NO-GO — worth 60 points, never more.
