MOS 18B Special Forces Elite Readiness

18B Special Forces Physical Readiness Standards

18B Special Forces Weapons Sergeants take the five-event Army Fitness Test on the combat scale: 60 points per event and a 350 total. 18B is one of the 21 MOS/AOC codes named in Army Directive 2025-06. 18-series Soldiers also train the annual Combat Field Test. This page is the 18B spoke. The full 350 directory is AFT combat standards.

18B is on the Directive 2025-06 combat list. Open the directory for sister 18-series codes and the 300–349 band.

Understanding 18B Special Forces Physical Demands

An 18B must maintain conditioning for multi-day rucks, crew-served weapons movement, and high-tempo raids. The record test is still the five-event AFT. A 300–349 total is a general pass and is not an 18B combat-standard GO. Score 18B on the AFT calculator with MOS 18B locked to combat 350. Track the separate seven-station field test on the CFT tracker.

18B AFT versus CFT

The Combat Field Test does not replace the AFT for 18B. Graders still need 60 per event and 350 on ATP 7-22.01 tables. CFT is an additional timed assessment for designated combat specialties.
