Sprint-drag-carry standards for the AFT
Last updated: 11 October 2026
Key takeaways
Sprint-drag-carry standards for ages 17–21 are 2:28 for men and 3:15 for women at 60 points. The 100-point times on the same GoArmy cards are 1:29 and 1:55. Five 50-meter shuttles use a 90-pound sled and two 40-pound kettlebells. Grade the clock in the AFT calculator.
17–21 times
GoArmy’s sprint-drag-carry page prints a men’s card and a women’s card for ages 17–21. Lower time scores more points.
| Points | Men 17–21 | Women 17–21 |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 1:29 | 1:55 |
| 60 | 2:28 | 3:15 |
The calculator’s 17–21 row uses those four times: 89 seconds and 148 seconds for men, 115 seconds and 195 seconds for women. An older version of this page listed 2:36 and 3:09 as the 60-point pair. Those times are retired. Older age bands are on the AFT score chart. This page does not print an 80-point sprint-drag-carry time.
Five 50-meter shuttles
The soldier starts prone. On “GO” the five shuttles run in order: sprint, backward sled drag, lateral shuffle, kettlebell carry, and a final sprint. Each shuttle is 25 meters out and 25 meters back. The sled is 90 pounds. The carry is two 40-pound kettlebells. Plank times for the next event are on the army plank standards page. Hand-release push-up counts are on the hand-release push-up standards page.
On the drag, both strap handles start on the sled behind the start line. The soldier pulls backward until the entire sled crosses the 25-meter line, turns the sled, and pulls until the entire sled crosses the start line. On the carry, one foot must touch the 25-meter line.
What the grader calls back
If the whole sled does not cross the line, the grader at the 25-meter line calls the soldier back. A missed foot touch on the carry is the same call-back. A dropped kettlebell does not restart the event. The carry resumes where the bells hit the ground. Combat MOS soldiers still need 350 total points on the combat standard page. The other events are listed on the five-event hub.
