- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- ACFT consists of six events that are based on the tasks a Soldier might encounter in training or combat. The events are completed in order and take from 45 to 55 minutes for an individual Soldier to complete.

I want to see my gym teacher try this.
I wanna see his grandma do this
Mr. Buzzcut
I like to see cops do that so they don't have to shoot the person in the back ?
( And stay out of the donut shop buffalo cops. )
And I’m just in bed watching this
Ha! Me too
Me too!
@@Stephon723 same 😂🪖
Just woke up at 4AM do do this last Thursday. It was great
Event 7: MRE constipation push
I laughed so hard I choked on my Chili Mac.
We had to eat MRE's for a month at one point. It was, I'll say, uncomfortable.
The only thing to jam an AK is MRE peanut butter
Ok, but whose taken direct contact for 2 straight miles?? Sprints are more applicable
That was my big complaint when I took the test, that and the ball throw.
d qzj you’re more likely to be lugging around equipment all day for miles than you are to get into a fire fight
Mogadishu...
Anyone besides me notice most of the events do not replicate the tasks demonstrated in the video?
Yep, that’s why I’m debating about whether I want to change from Marines to Army. I don’t like this CFT
@@thedesertrat_9514 Why would you want to switch anyway? Pick something and stick with it. Unless you wanted to do something very specialized or something like special operations/forces.
@@everythingviral972 More money and easier to promote, plus my MOS does more in the Army than Marines. This was a year ago and I’m already about to EAS, but at the time it was up for debate.
Never had any of this back in 1967 at Fort Bragg, NC.
Change the dead lift video. This demonstration will have everyone lifting with their backs and getting injured. Provide a video of a Soldier lifting the weight with the legs using proper form.
sumo deadlift is the best
Definitely the form should be corrected, but I don't think anyone would be coming here to learn proper deadlift mechanics; well, I'd hope not
You can't deadlift without "using your back," Einstein.
That two mile man I almost lost all energy to complete it especially the last mile where I almost stopped running. However I powered through and passed the entire ACFT.
When I ran to the mile and a half mark for the USMC pft makes me think if I joined the army I would just need half a mile left. Then I finish my last mile and a half hating myself.
@@matthewtopete1678 I feel that lmfao
I got out in 2016 when I remember my unit had rumors about the APFT being revamped wow I didn’t think it was true but there it is
My fiancé told me this morning he’s the top in his class when it comes to this test! I wanted to see what else it featured! Very proud of him 😊
Angelika lmao don’t be too proud. It’s the army so it’s basic
Angel I am still very proud of him regardless! ☺️
@@Angel-kg1pg Lmao how about you try it? Bet you can't even do a single event of this test.
@@Angel-kg1pg bro shut up ive done half of these events including the sprint drag carry (the worst of them all) and it is NOT basic. how bout you try it yourself
Hard to implement, hard to grade. That is this retired Soldier's opinion. Good luck to older Soldiers since age will no longer be taken into consideration. If you young guys think that sounds like it should be, wait till you get some miles on your odometer and an accumulation of wear and tear that never fully heals - it takes its toll.
Marty Smith you’re time is over old man. Lol just kidding thankyou for you’re service. I don’t see why vets opinions on things are taken into consideration that’d be something to implement
@Leonardo Alonso A lot of females struggle with the weightlifting part of the test. On the OPAT they made the moderates do 120lbs, yet want soldiers to do 140 on the test. There will definitely be failures, especially for the smaller folks.
I'm honestly not looking forward to performing this. They have zero substitute events for those on any profile due to injuries of some sort (which is their intentions to discharge people) but I feel like they aren't concentrating on soldier's form. I feel like there's going to be more injury stories than success stories. Thank you for your service!
@@cassiecurutchet9442 They actually do have alternative events for soldiers on profile, but they're just as difficult to pass (It's biking, swimming, or rowing). It's an 84% fail rate for females so if anything they are trying to get rid of them. It's a very ridiculous and complicated test. They just recently changed some of the standards again, and its not getting any easier.
@Leonardo Alonso hard to fail? easy to say for an average person, but if you taken a small female into consideration, 140 lbs deadlift is not exactly easy when you are less than 100lbs! just saying...
There’s alternative to the leg tucks and two mile run. Two minutes plank. 5000 meters on the row machine or on a stationary bike.
When I was in the Army, we did the APFT and that was such a boring 3 event fitness test. I REALLY like the look of the ACFT, it actually looks like a lot of fun with all of the different events that really push you beyond just 2 minutes of situps and 2 minutes of pushups. This test will really challenge a lot of the Soldiers and start weeding out the ones who truly aren't physically fit and strong enough to serve in the Army.
Why does the army hate normal pullups
Because they need to see how strong your hip flexors are LOL
Is there a table/chart published for the minimum and maximum score?
ARCHIEzzle yes, but it's subject to change
The standards are posted on the Army times website
The power throw was a no rep since it fell outside the lane!!
Importantly, what will PT look like for the platoon, and company look like? What exercises to accomplish these goals? What equipment and how much of it to train maybe up to well over 100 soldiers in a company and maybe 700 soldiers in a battalion? It is going to be interesting to see on the ground.
How about for National Guard, Reserves, Recruiters, or other remote/detached assignment personnel. Is the Army going to start paying for gym memberships for those personnel?
The budget just went through the roof.
@@GregNaturalImpaktJones I guess that is a good thing. Now where is all that equipment going to be stored, property accountability, hand receipts, etc.
I wish they would just throw away the run lol, I absolutely hate running (or at least how I feel afterwards)
as someone who runs a lot, that feeling of fatigue is normal for starters, when you run consistently for 2 months, you wouldn't feel that much of a dent, the starts are usually the toughest stages when doing any kind of workout.
What happened to the female officer on 2nd lane at 2:12, Did She disappear into thin air or go through a worm hole?
If I’m Ets out of the army my date ets is Feb 04 2023 do I still take the acft or am I exempt from it I’m trying to find the AR for it
Is there a civilian designation for dept. of defense members?
How fitting that a clip of a medevac follows the deadlift demonstration...start the lift with your back bent...the DoD's own video ab how to do this right...this does not bode well
A army recruiter just told me the other day ,that between drug testing and the physical weakness of this up coming generation, that most young people can’t even do the minimum requirements.
ron grimes I just watched a Ted Talk where he’s a Lieutenant General in the army (he didn’t state when he was commissioned to earned his masters in fitness to implement a new fitness regimen), where the officer stated that obesity a national security issue and spoke about how gym/PE was in only 5 states and no state required this activity/class from k-12.
I can’t imagine not having a PE class. Then he gave stats for how much time kids and adults wasted on tv and video games. That was a crazy stat.
So sad also that top brass is becoming indoctrinated into the looney left Woke policies that will cause the total fall of our Military.
We must get politics and the liberal top brass removed ASAP or we are doomed.
I just watched a top General speak to Congress about the Military needs to become "Woke" and about White Rage , so embarrassing, this General must be removed of his Command
🇺🇸Land of isreal!🤘🏻 IDF in charge🦅
Really enjoyed watching this .
Improvements finally.
I need to get in shape!
Love that sound bed .
my dads in the army and i never knew he had to do all this, i can’t even do five pushups
This is new. Back in 2013 they didn’t have this.
ah. he joined the army back in 2003 so i guess he didn’t have to do it then, but he’s still in the army and has to do camps and training
corynne baccigalopi They still don’t do this I don’t think lol
Man just watching this makes my messed up lower back burn! 🔥 🔥 😭
Take it theres a time limit for the 2 mile run
Ciaran Gallagher yes but the max score time has been increased making it marginally easier
Within 20 mins
21 minutes to pass
Good for them i wanna be as strong as them one day
You should
Sorry, but this is nothing compared to the Marines CFT
Where did they get these model? Special Forces? LOL....I wanna see a regular soldier do this. LOL
if my left arm could still handle the load, i might start training with this.
shame. i always felt like the AFT was a little soft on tankers.
A nice demonstration of showing the near Army future for fitness. The "How" and "Why?" This helps to answer some questions...some.When will this new Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) be phased-in?
So far, from what I've heard is their implementing in October of 2020.
Starting 10/2019 for implementation but not for scoring. 10/2020 for scoring
@ DOD time 3:17, why does the soldiers camelback not have a reservoir?
Is this a test that's taken in the course of the day? Each event consecutively right after another? That would be challenging for sure.
It’s supposed to be challenging.. if you can’t handle that challenge how do you expect to handle a challenge under gun fire..
ArkansasGamer in under 50 minutes.
And yeah, it’s *supposed* to be challenging... that’s the point, my man
Wow!!! I need this level of discipline. Thanks for the tools to push myself 🤗🤗🤗
Where was this video taken
Honestly looks like a crossfit class, except you only do it once!?
The Army and Marines should adopt a written combat fitness test for officers 0-6 and above that tests in detail their knowledge of all the wars America has lost and why these wars were lost.
John Culley Draft dodger?
@Lon Blair You need to read volumes 1 and 2 of Andrew James Birtle's official U.S. Army History of U.S. Army Counterinsurgency Operations Doctrine from 1860 to 1941 and from 1942 to 1976 which discusses in detail how and why the United States lost the Vietnam War initiated by President John F, Kennedy's infamous National Security Action Memo 182 which appears in the Pentagon papers.
Pushups are easy. You get to touch your chest to the ground on each pushup? In the Navy we could not touch the ground
2:43 I guess tge woman quit because I don't see her in any of the cuts after the second or third
2thomas k she is still there but she fell behind. Check out this exact same video ruclips.net/video/X9RlS8LZgVc/видео.html the reason you cannot are her in this video is because of the way this video is cropped, but if you watch the video I linked you’ll see her at the 5:33 mark. She is seen having taken off with the dumbbells when the guy closest to the camera is already done dropping his.
It would be nice to know the weights of the power throw ball, the kettlebells, the drag weight, as well as the distance of the shuttle run. Anybody have that or where it can be found?
I think for the dead lift it's a 60 and 100 point in respect to 140 lbs min and 340 max. A 10 lb medicine ball, 4 meters: 60 pts and 13 meters 100 pts. Hand release 10 reps: 60 pts, 70 reps 100 pts. The sprint drag carry is for time so 3:35 gets you 60 pts, 1:40 gets you 100 pts. Leg tuck if I'm correct I thing 1 rep gets you 60 pts [that's probably where age comes into consideration} lol, and 20 reps gets you 100 pts. And I believe the run is 21:00 gets you 60 pts and 1245 gets you 100 Pts
Is there still a time limit for the 2 mile run?
21:00 for 60 points and 12:45 for a 100.
To just pass it's 21:00
now if you want to max out, I believe it's at 13:00.
Sorry, but calisthenics are a much better indicator of physical ability. If someone can knock out 60 push-ups and 15 pull-ups you know that they have a decent amount of strength and endurance.
I still wish we had the leg tuck. I could max that out lol
The 2 mile run is absolutely unnecessary. It can should be substituted with ruck march for heavier guys, like rangers do on their 5 mile run. I joined at 5'9, 260 lbs - I am a powerlifter. I could ve ruck marched for hours with ANY weight on my back, but running was causing fractures on my shins, which were manageable during running, but then it takes days (sometimes weeks) for the body to recover.....
This has been in the works for five years. I think the plan is just let everyone who pushed this just retire, and then pretend it never happened.
Sick call at a all time high. Lol
I took the ACFT for the first time and I passed. TBH it’s better than the APFT.
This seems easier then what is done now
That sprint drag ain't no hoe tho lol
@@alistairhazell9877 ive done it before its absolutely miserable lol
That female Soldier doing the MDL should have been safety stopped. Those hips coming up before the shoulders is asking for a serious injury.
thats all?
Can i skip this part of training and just be a e6? They get better pay but more importantly....better food :D
Yoooo….0:23 is that my boy Ivory? 4-1 BSTB B CO - MI
A VICTORY
All of these exercises are irrelevant when Soldiers are driving trucks in convoys, maybe 11Bravos can benefit from this but even still the AFCT is administered twice a year, how affective will these exercises be if they're not repetitive, it's just like going to a gun range shooting every 6 months as oppose to every week, a Soldier can't win a ground war practicing every 6 months.
what are passing scores
@@Patriotdude2000 Thanks
Runs should add 50 lbs to simulate gear carry.
Very easy for pushups, situps, and running 2 miles is nothing. However, all of these task will surely be waived for women, trans, or any Politically Correct person the military now wants?
I wonder what the basic times are on that 2 mile run and the average hip pullups are?
This chart is just preliminary though, final chart wont come out until the one year trial period is complete. www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2018/08/01/heres-an-early-draft-of-the-armys-new-fitness-test-standards/

I was about to subscribe, but then i realized Biden is in charge.
What happened to the girl at 2:16
FELL SORRY FOR THOSE WITH BAD KNEES !!!!!
It's a good p.t. program but other than that as a national guard soldier it takes away from our already busy drill weekends and we could be in the field but I stead we are busy doing this CrossFit test. We go to war again and we will be prepared to crossfit all over our enemy. I would rather have more field time and training time. That way we are ready for what ever comes our way. And just saying we already have enough p.t. failures in the army as a whole we don't need to add to it
Tyler Thrash the whole idea is that those people are either going to get with the standards or they’re going to be phased out... that’s kinda the point, ya know? If you aren’t physically up to standards then the rest of the training doesn’t really matter..
Take it serious, take some pride in the way they look and feel physically and that will change.. it's all about mentality... the failure we have are due simply to the nasty ill fated American diet that the newbies grew up on, a habit they can't kick that easily
This looks like fort Jackson
Crazy I just talked to a recruiter about combat for females and he says it's rare and not easy. Then I see this. Very motivating!

Should be considered a kids video
changed the standards to accommodate females as of 2022. so much for equality Army back to a separate scoring chart and the leg tuck is replaced by the plank
WEST ONE CHAIRMAN I AM. HENCE FORTH
Really doesn’t look hard
WEST WON ALL CLEAR
Best thing about the ACFT is eliminating age and gender standards. Your score must now match your job requirements. Also you get more time on the 2 mile
Violins to boats Solomon lile the Bible talks of wooden boats being better lile a spear
🤣🤣🤣
In the Army speak Spanish ???
The Mexican Army does.
@@ChrisOlsen-i4f There's plenty of spanish in any motorpool of the US Army.
@@ChrisOlsen-i4f yeah that's cause a lot of the parts we order against our Amerikkkan vehicles actually comes from or is manufactured in Mexico..
Yes we do homie.. the Army's one huge melting pot!
As far as I know the US have no official language at federal level (whereas some 30 States declared one or more official languages). I guess that nevertheless it has to be stated somewhere in the Army's (an other Services') rules and regulations, otherwise giving and receiving orders would result... problematic.
Pogs and females on notice.....
the females max deadlift is 20 pounds and two mile run max time is 1 hour
Dark Sentinel you’re severely mis informed
@@darksentinel9304 Brett is correct, there is one set standard regardless of gender or age on the new ACFT. the link below is an article from Army Times including the proposed scoring standards for the one year trial period (score chart will be adjusted based on the trials according to the article) www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2018/08/01/heres-an-early-draft-of-the-armys-new-fitness-test-standards/
Lmao I bet my scores will be higher than grunts..Signal Soldier
How many females successfully complete this?
"Females"
Idk, but the weights she was lifting looked like plastic, probably about a hundred pounds
Aviation barracks at ft eustis
We dont need to run 2 miles
morgan Roberts yes we do
morgan Roberts in Iraq I ran two blocks and took a left. Two miles is redundant.
You’re right! We need to run 3 miles
Weak
If they did a realistic airsoft game for the us military it would test the soldiers in a realistic military simulation
