The detail people forget is that the test has a new name. Since June 1, 2025 the Army uses the Army Fitness Test, which followed the ACFT and, before that, the APFT of pushups, situps and a two-mile run. This list covers the five current events and the older APFT pass marks, which are history. It covers the physical test only, not medical or enlistment health standards, and it leaves out score tables. Confirm current standards with a recruiter or your unit before you train.

Why these items are on the list

  1. Check which test applies. The Army Fitness Test replaced the ACFT on June 1, 2025. The APFT came before both.
  2. Hex bar deadlift, hang release pushups. Per Military.com, two of the five current events: a 3-rep-max hex bar deadlift and hang release pushups.
  3. Sprint, drag, carry event. A current event. The redesign tailored the tests to what ground combat forces need.
  4. Plank pose. Military.com says plank pose joined the Army test and is the one universal change across the branches.
  5. Two-mile run. One of the five current events, per Military.com. The old APFT also included a two-mile run.
  6. Confirm the current standards. Standards and exercises have changed every few years, so check the latest with a recruiter or your unit.
  7. See the old APFT age charts. Old APFT score charts were split by age group and sex. They are history, not current scoring.
  8. Old APFT basic training mark. Old standard: per Military.com, the APFT needed at least 50 points per event to pass basic combat training.
  9. Old APFT AIT graduation mark. Old standard: per Military.com, the APFT needed 180+ points to graduate AIT, with at least 60 in each event.

Tick the events as you learn each one, with the list open on your phone. It tracks what you have checked, and nothing more.

When to use it

Use it when you start training for an Army fitness test, once you know which test applies to you.
