What is ACFT?

Important: The ACFT replaced the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) in October 2020 and is now the official fitness test for all U.S. Army personnel.

Army Combat Fitness Test Overview

The Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) is the official physical fitness test of the United States Army. It consists of six events designed to measure a soldier's physical strength, endurance, power, speed, and agility in a way that better reflects the demands of modern combat operations.

Unlike the previous APFT, the ACFT is gender and age-neutral for the minimum standards, with different scoring scales based on Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) categories: Heavy, Significant, and Moderate.
