AFT/CFT Fitness Standards
1. Key Changes
•Establishes the Combat Field Test (CFT) as a required Army fitness assessment.
•Updates the Army Fitness Test (AFT) to align with modernized fitness standards.
•Confirms that the CFT does not replace the AFT, both remain required.
2. Combat Field Test (CFT) Overview
•Applies to all Soldiers in combat specialty (MOS‑designated / some added).
•Pass/Fail only — no numerical score.
•Conducted as a continuous event with total time determining pass/fail.
•All events must be completed in sequence; failure to complete any event results in automatic failure.
3. CFT Events (In Order)
a. 1‑mile run
b. 30 dead‑stop push‑ups
c. 100‑meter sprint
d. 16 × 40‑lb sandbag lifts to a 65‑inch platform
e. 50‑meter farmer’s carry (2 × 40‑lb water cans)
f. 50‑meter movement drill
•25m high crawl
•25m rush
g. Final 1‑mile run
**Emphasis on combat realism, fatigue management, and functional strength.
4. Uniform Standards
•Army Combat Uniform (ACU)
•Boots
•No headgear
5. Testing Frequency Requirements
•Active Duty / AGR / Soldiers on >365‑day orders
•1 × CFT and 1 × AFT annually
•Other Reserve Component Soldiers
•Alternate annually between AFT and CFT
•Minimum time between record tests:
•Active / AGR: 4 months
•RC not on orders: 8 months
6. Profiles & Medical Considerations
•Permanent profiles (combat MOS)
•If unable to perform the AFT → ineligible for CFT
•May trigger MOS reclassification review
•Temporary profiles
•Follow profile guidance
•No modified CFT events authorized
7. Implementation Timeline
•1‑year transition period
•During transition:
•No adverse actions solely for CFT failure
•After transition:
•Failure results in flagging and possible MOS reclassification
8. Failure & Administrative Actions
•First failure
•Immediate flag
•Enrollment in reconditioning program
•Retest timelines
•Active / AGR: 90 days
•RC not on orders: 180 days
•Second failure
•Enlisted: separation or reclassification
•Officers: elimination or branch transfer
9. AFT Updates
•AFT remains mandatory alongside the CFT.
•Evaluations now include:
•Pass/Fail determination
•Numerical score
•Additional MOSs designated as combat specialties (example: EOD see attachment).
