2026 standards, scoring, and training
Know your standard. Calculate your score. Train what matters.
The 2026 Army Fitness Test (AFT) is the Army’s five-event physical fitness assessment. It includes Three-Repetition Maximum Deadlift, Hand-Release Push-Up Arm Extension, Sprint-Drag-Carry, Plank, and Two-Mile Run. The General Standard applies to most Soldiers, while designated combat specialties use the Combat Standard. Confirm your standard, calculate your score, and use the training guides to focus where improvement can make the biggest difference.
The Army Fitness Test (AFT) replaced the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) as the official physical fitness test of record on June 1, 2025.

Age-normed, sex-neutralScoring
Most Soldiers follow the General Standard, while designated combat specialties use the Combat Standard. Passing the standard five-event AFT requires both the applicable total score and the minimum score in every event.
Soldiers serving in designated combat specialties are subject to both the AFT Combat Standard and Combat Field Test requirements. Testing frequency varies by component and duty status. Review Combat Field Test (CFT).
Raw performance converts to points differently by age, sex, and scoring context. View the AFT Score Chart for exact thresholds, or calculate your AFT score for the result that applies to you.
The 5 AFT Events
The AFT is completed across five scored events that assess different parts of physical readiness. Review each event for its purpose, result format, test-day details, and training path.
