Army Holistic Health & Fitness (FM 7-22) Event Guide

Click on any event below to review standards, equipment specifications, and core physical capabilities measured.

Physical Capabilities: Lower body strength, grip strength, and core stability. Replicates lifting and carrying heavy loads, such as casualties or ammunition boxes.

Execution: The soldier stands inside a hex-bar deadlift frame, bends at the knees/hips, grips the handles, and lifts the bar to a standing position, then lowers it under control. The movement is repeated consecutively for three reps. Rebounding the weight off the floor is not permitted.

Equipment: Standard Olympic-sized hex bar (60 lbs) and bumper plates.

Physical Capabilities: Explosive power, coordination, and backward release speed. Replicates launching objects over obstacles or clearing barriers.

Execution: The soldier stands facing away from the throw line, holding a 10-pound medicine ball. They squat, swing the ball between their legs, and launch it backward overhead as far as possible. The throw must be made without crossing the line. Soldiers are given two attempts, with the best distance counted.

Equipment: 10 lbs (4.5 kg) rubber medicine ball.

Physical Capabilities: Upper body muscular endurance and core stabilization. Replicates pushing off the ground during combat movements or climbing obstacles.

Execution: The soldier begins in the prone position. On the command of execution, they push up to a front-leaning rest, keeping the body straight. They lower their body to the ground, fully extend their arms out to the sides in a 'T' shape, return their hands to the starting position, and push back up. This is repeated for maximum repetitions in 2 minutes.

Equipment: Flat, non-slip surface.

Physical Capabilities: Anaerobic capacity, power, speed, agility, and muscular endurance. Replicates rapid maneuvers under fire and moving casualties or equipment.

Execution: A 250-meter shuttle event consisting of five 50-meter laps:
1. Sprint: Sprint 25m and back.
2. Drag: Backward drag a 90 lb sled 25m and back.
3. Lateral: Side-shuffle 25m and back.
4. Carry: Carry two 40 lb kettlebells 25m and back.
5. Sprint: Sprint 25m and back.

Equipment: 90 lb pulling sled, two 40 lb kettlebells.

Physical Capabilities: Core strength, stability, and abdominal/back endurance. Replicates maintaining stability under heavy loads and preventing lower back injuries.

Execution: The soldier maintains a front-leaning forearm plank position. Forearms must remain flat on the ground, elbows aligned under the shoulders, and the body must form a straight line from head to heels. The event continues until the soldier touches the ground, loses form twice after a warning, or reaches the maximum time limit.

Equipment: Flat surface, timing device.

Physical Capabilities: Aerobic endurance and cardiorespiratory health. Replicates long-distance foot marches and sustained operational tasks.

Execution: The soldier completes a timed two-mile run on a flat, measured track. Walking is permitted, but external assistance is prohibited. Lower times yield higher scores.

Alternate Aerobic Events: Authorized for soldiers on a permanent profile who cannot run. These include:
- 2.5-Mile Walk: Completed on a flat measured course.
- 5,000-Meter Row: Completed on a concept2 rower (resistance setting at 5-8).
- 12,000-Meter Bike: Completed on an stationary air assault/upright bike.
- 1,000-Meter Swim: Completed in a pool using any swim stroke.
Alternate aerobic events are scored as Pass/Fail (earning 60 points on pass).

Equipment: Measured track, concept2 rower, stationary bike, pool, or level walking surface.

Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) Standards

The Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) is the official physical fitness test of record for the United States Army, replacing the legacy Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT). Governed by FM 7-22 (Holistic Health and Fitness), it consists of six events designed to replicate physical movements required in combat scenarios. To achieve a passing score, soldiers must secure a minimum of 60 points per event, for a total minimum score of 360 points. The maximum possible score is 600.

Our ACFT score calculator supports precise age and gender norming as of the latest official scaling tables. If you are on a permanent physical profile, the calculator offers the official alternate aerobic events, including the 2.5-Mile Walk, 5,000-Meter Row, 12,000-Meter Bike, and 1,000-Meter Swim. Passing an alternate event grants the soldier 60 points for that event.

Army Body Composition Program (ABCP) and AR 600-9

Under AR 600-9 (The Army Body Composition Program), soldiers must maintain body composition standards to ensure readiness and health. The screening process starts with the height-and-weight screening table. If a soldier exceeds the screening weight limit for their height, they are subject to a body fat tape test.

According to Army Directive 2023-11, the primary tape test standard is the **One-Site Abdominal Tape Test**, measured directly at the navel. If a soldier fails this one-site test, they are authorized to request the legacy **Multi-Site Tape Test** as a backup (measuring neck and abdomen for males, and neck, waist, and hips for females). Additionally, soldiers who score 540+ on the ACFT with a minimum of 80 points in every individual event are completely exempt from body fat taping.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a passing score on the ACFT?

A minimum score of 60 points is required for all six individual events, resulting in an overall passing score of 360 points.

How do alternate events calculate towards my total score?

Alternate events are scored as Pass/Fail. A soldier who passes an alternate event receives exactly 60 points for that event, which is then added to the scores of their other completed events.

What is the one-site abdominal tape test?

Introduced in 2023 under Army Directive 2023-11, this method calculates estimated body fat percentage using only the soldier's weight and a single circumference measurement at the belly button.

How do I qualify for the ACFT body fat taping exemption?

Soldiers scoring 540 points or higher, with at least 80 points in each of the six events, are exempt from height/weight screening and taping.
