The Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) is a 6 event fitness test that all Army soldiers are required to take and pass. It replaced the 3 event Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT). It must be done every 6 months or less. If a soldier fails the ACFT it can effect their ability to get promoted and re-enlist. A soldier that fails will have an opportunity to try again to pass at a later date. Multiple ACFT failures can result in a soldier being forced out of the Army.
ARMY COMBAT FITNESS TEST EVENTS
Requirements to pass the ACFT
Each event is scored individually. The passing standard depends on if the Soldier is male or female and for some events their age might have different passing requirements. Failing one event will result in failing the entire ACFT as a soldier is required to pass all 6 events. Soldiers are encouraged to exceed the minimum standard for each event. The minimum standard for each event is 60 points.
