How AFT scoring works
Each event is scored from 0 to 100 points using age- and sex-specific columns of the official Army Fitness Test score tables (approved May 15, 2025, effective June 1, 2025). Your total is the sum of the five events, up to 500.
- 3-Repetition Maximum Deadlift — heaviest weight lifted for three reps (lbs).
- Hand-Release Push-Up – Arm Extension — repetitions in two minutes.
- Sprint-Drag-Carry — 5 × 50 m shuttle (sprint, drag, lateral, carry, sprint); lower time is better.
- Plank — hold time; longer is better.
- 2-Mile Run — lower time is better. Soldiers on profile may take an alternate aerobic event (walk, bike, swim or row) graded GO/NO-GO.
General vs. combat standard
Most soldiers need 60 points per event and 300 total. Soldiers in combat MOSs/AOCs are held to a sex-neutral standard — the “M | C” column for their age group — and need 350 total. The Army applied the combat standard to the active component from January 1, 2026 and to the Reserve and Guard from June 1, 2026.
