The 2025/2026 Army Fitness Test: Everything Soldiers Need to Know
On June 1, 2025, the Department of the Army finalized the operational transition from the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) to the Army Fitness Test (AFT). This doctrine overhaul represents the culmination of empirical physical readiness studies, reducing test administration overhead while preserving the rigorous functional combat readiness standards necessary for high-intensity multi-domain operations.
1. Structural Evolution: Elimination of the Standing Power Throw
The most significant change in the AFT standard is the complete removal of the Standing Power Throw (SPT). Analysis across operational testing cohorts demonstrated that the SPT carried a disproportionate incidence of lower back strain and technique variance without adding unique statistical value over the Deadlift and Sprint-Drag-Carry. The AFT is now streamlined into five functional fitness events totaling a maximum possible score of 500 points.
2. The 21 Combat MOS Mandate (350-Point Combat Standard)
In alignment with congressional readiness mandates, soldiers assigned to designated combat specialties are evaluated on a sex-neutral standard derived from the male scoring scale. Combat MOS soldiers must achieve:
- Minimum 60 Points in every individual event (MDL, HRP, SDC, PLK, 2MR).
- Minimum 350 Total Points across the cumulative scorecard.
- Enforceability: January 1, 2026 for Active Component and AGR; June 1, 2026 for USAR and Army National Guard.
Recognized Combat Specialties (21 MOSs):
3. AR 600-9 Body Fat Exemption: The 465-Point Benchmark
Soldiers who demonstrate elite physical capacity by scoring 465 points or greater on the AFT, with at least 80 points in every single event, earn a regulatory exemption from the mandatory tape test under Army Regulation 600-9 (The Army Body Composition Program). This policy incentivizes muscular development and eliminates administrative tape testing friction for high-performing soldiers.
4. 5 Events Technical Standards Breakdown
1. 3-Rep Max Deadlift (MDL)
Hexagon bar with Olympic bumper plates. Evaluates lower-body force production and spinal stabilization. Range: 80 lbs to 340 lbs.
Read MDL Guide →2. Hand-Release Push-Up (HRP)
Two-minute continuous test with full arm extension at the bottom of each repetition. Evaluates upper-body muscular endurance.
Read HRP Guide →3. Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC)
5 $\times$ 50m shuttles: 50m sprint, 90lb sled drag, 50m lateral, 2 $\times$ 40lb kettlebell carry, 50m sprint. Measures anaerobic capacity.
Read SDC Guide →4. Forearm Plank (PLK)
Isometric core stabilization hold. Evaluates lumbar stability and pelvic posture under continuous load. Max standard: 3:40.
Read Plank Guide →5. Two-Mile Run (2MR)
Aerobic endurance evaluation conducted on a measured, flat course. Evaluates sustained cardiovascular stamina for tactical foot marches.
Read 2MR Guide →Alternate Aerobic Events
Authorized for permanent profile soldiers (DA 3349): 5,000m Row, 12,000m Bike, 1,000m Swim, and 2.5-Mile Walk.

Authoritative answers to common questions regarding Army Fitness Test scoring, standards, and record policies.
What is a passing score on the 2026 AFT?
The 2026 Army Fitness Test requires a minimum score of 60 points in each of the five events. For General MOS soldiers, the minimum cumulative passing total is 300 points out of 500. For soldiers in designated combat specialties under Army Directive 2026-07, the minimum cumulative passing total is 350 points evaluated on the sex-neutral male scale.
How has the AFT changed from the legacy ACFT?
Effective June 1, 2025, the Army Fitness Test (AFT) permanently replaced the ACFT as the Army's official test of record. The Standing Power Throw (SPT) was removed to eliminate injury risk and testing variance. The test is now comprised of 5 core events: 3-Rep Max Deadlift (MDL), Hand-Release Push-Up (HRP), Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC), Forearm Plank (PLK), and Two-Mile Run (2MR), with a maximum total score of 500 points.
Is the Standing Power Throw still on the Army Fitness Test?
No. The Standing Power Throw (SPT) was officially removed from the Army Fitness Test on June 1, 2025. Soldiers are only evaluated on the remaining five events (MDL, HRP, SDC, PLK, 2MR).
What is the 350 Combat Standard and which soldiers must meet it?
Soldiers serving in 24 designated combat Military Occupational Specialties (MOSs) and Areas of Concentration (AOCs)—including 11-series Infantry, 19-series Armor/Cavalry, 12B Combat Engineers, 13F Forward Observers, 18-series Special Forces, and 89D/E EOD—are held to a sex-neutral standard requiring at least 60 points per event and an overall score of 350 points. This standard became mandatory for Active Duty on January 1, 2026, and June 1, 2026 for Reserve and National Guard.
How do I qualify for an exemption from the AR 600-9 Body Fat (Tape) Test?
Under current Department of the Army policy, any soldier who achieves a total score of 465 points or higher on the record AFT, with at least 80 points scored in each of the five events, is automatically exempt from the mandatory body fat circumference (tape) test until their next official record test.
How do AFT scores affect promotion points for SGT and SSG?
Under AR 600-8-19, AFT total scores convert directly into physical fitness promotion points for promotion to Sergeant (E-5) and Staff Sergeant (E-6). Higher scores award scaling promotion points that contribute directly toward monthly promotion cutoff scores.
What alternate aerobic events are authorized for profiled soldiers?
Under DA Form 3349 permanent profiles, soldiers unable to run the 2MR may complete one of four authorized alternate aerobic assessments: 5,000-Meter Ergometer Row (25:00 max), 12,000-Meter Stationary Bike (25:00 max), 1,000-Meter Swim (25:00 max), or the 2.5-Mile Walk (36:00 max). Completing the event within the time standard awards a 60-point passing GO.
