Understanding the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT)
The Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) is the U.S. Army's physical fitness test, designed to better connect fitness with combat readiness. It replaced the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) in 2022 and consists of six events that measure various components of fitness crucial for Soldier tasks.
The Six Events of the ACFT:
3-Repetition Maximum Deadlift (MDL): Measures muscular strength. Soldiers lift the maximum weight possible for three repetitions.
Standing Power Throw (SPT): Measures explosive power. Soldiers throw a 10-pound medicine ball backward and overhead for distance.
Hand Release Push-Up (HRP): Measures muscular endurance. Soldiers perform as many push-ups as possible in two minutes, releasing their hands from the ground at the bottom of each repetition.
Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC): Measures muscular endurance, strength, agility, and anaerobic capacity. This event involves five 50-meter shuttles: sprint, 90-pound sled drag, lateral shuffle, two 40-pound kettlebell carry, and sprint.
Plank (PLK): Measures core strength and endurance. Soldiers hold a plank position for as long as possible.
2-Mile Run (2MR): Measures aerobic endurance. Soldiers run two miles for time.
ACFT Scoring and Standards
Each event is scored on a scale of 0 to 100 points. To pass the ACFT, Soldiers must achieve a minimum of 60 points in each event, for a total minimum score of 360 points. Higher scores indicate greater physical readiness. The scoring standards are generally uniform across age groups and genders, though specific passing requirements can vary slightly based on a Soldier's component (Active Duty, National Guard, Reserve) and Military Occupational Specialty (MOS).
How to Use the Calculator:
Enter your performance for each of the six ACFT events into the respective fields. For timed events (Sprint-Drag-Carry, Plank, 2-Mile Run), enter your time in minutes and seconds. Click "Calculate ACFT Score" to see your estimated points for each event, your total score, and your overall pass/fail status based on the general active duty minimum standards.
Disclaimer: This calculator provides an estimate based on general ACFT scoring scales. Official scores are determined by trained graders during a supervised ACFT. Always refer to official Army regulations and your unit's guidance for precise standards and requirements.
