2026 AFT Combat Standard
Under the Army Fitness Test (AFT) Combat Standard, Soldiers in designated combat specialties must score at least 60 points in each event and at least 350 points total. Combat scoring varies by age but not by sex.
Combat Standard passing requirements
A high total cannot make up for an event below the 60-point minimum. Review the Five AFT Events and the AFT Score Chart for event rules and official scoring thresholds.
How Combat scoring works
Combat scoring varies by age but not by sex. In the Army scoring tables, Combat uses the M | C column for both male and female Soldiers subject to the Combat Standard.
