Army Fitness Test (AFT) Calculator & Standards
The Army Fitness Test (AFT) is the U.S. Army's current physical fitness test, effective 1 June 2025. It replaced the six-event Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT): the standing power throw was dropped, leaving five events, and the Army introduced a sex-neutral standard for combat-arms soldiers.
The five events
- 3-Repetition Maximum Deadlift: Heaviest weight lifted for 3 continuous repetitions.
- Hand-Release Push-Up: Correctly performed repetitions in 2 minutes.
- Sprint-Drag-Carry: Time for the five 50-meter shuttles.
- Plank: Time holding a correct forearm plank.
- Two-Mile Run: Time to run two miles.
How it is scored
Each event is scored 0–100 points against your age and standard, for a maximum of 500. You must earn at least 60 points in every event. To pass overall you need 300 points total under the general (age- and sex-based) standard, or 350 under the sex-neutral combat-MOS standard.

The test was renamed the Army Fitness Test, the standing power throw was dropped (six events became five), and a sex-neutral standard was set for soldiers in combat military occupational specialties. The other events and scoring scales were retained.
How fast do you have to run two miles to pass the AFT?
It depends on age and standard. Under the male/combat column a 17–21-year-old needs about 19:57; under the female general column, about 22:55. The required time increases with age. Use the calculator on this page for your exact bracket.
