The Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) is a 6 event test with a
600 point maximum. It is gender and age neutral. This means
that a 22-year old male Soldier and a 40-year old female
Soldier earn the same exact number of points for running 2
miles in 14 minutes.
While the test is also MOS neutral ...
Soldiers of all military occupational specialties operate on
the same point scale ... the Army does anticipate enforcing
some minimum requirements for heavy and moderate demand MOS.
Soldiers will complete the
following 6 events in order, generally in less than 70
minutes:
1) 3-Repetition Maximum Deadlift 2) Standing Power Throw
3) Hand-Release Push-Up 4) Sprint-Drag-Carry 5) Leg
Tuck 6) 2-Mile Run
What are the minimum
requirements per MOS (MOS breakdown)?

- deadlift 200 lbs for 3 repetitions - throw the 10 pound
medicine ball 8.0 meters - do 30 hand-release push-ups

seconds - do 5 leg tucks - run 2 miles in 18 minutes
