Combat Field Test (CFT) Overview •Applies to all Soldiers in combat specialty (MOS‑designated / some added). •Pass/Fail only — no numerical score. •Conducted as a continuous event with total time determining pass/fail. •All events must be completed in sequence; failure to complete any event results in automatic failure. 3. CFT Events (In Order) a. 1‑mile run b. 30 dead‑stop push‑ups c. 100‑meter sprint d. 16 × 40‑lb sandbag lifts to a 65‑inch platform e. 50‑meter farmer’s carry (2 × 40‑lb water cans) f. 50‑meter movement drill •25m high crawl •25m rush g.

Profiles & Medical Considerations •Permanent profiles (combat MOS) •If unable to perform the AFT → ineligible for CFT •May trigger MOS reclassification review •Temporary profiles •Follow profile guidance •No modified CFT events authorized 7. Implementation Timeline •1‑year transition period •During transition: •No adverse actions solely for CFT failure •After transition: •Failure results in flagging and possible MOS reclassification 8. Failure & Administrative Actions •First failure •Immediate flag •Enrollment in reconditioning program •Retest timelines •Active / AGR: 90 days •RC not on orders: 180 days •Second failure •Enlisted: separation or reclassification •Officers: elimination or branch transfer 9. AFT Updates

Team, I have created/started a 10-week full body program! Each session will have a different ancillary focus but hits all the prime movers. Mon- Full Body Wed- Full Body Fri- Full Body Reasoning: 3×/week full-body program is “the best” because it: - Maximizes frequency - Controls fatigue - Improves recovery - Builds real-world strength - Fits a hybrid athlete lifestyle When to adjust: - Advanced bodybuilders chasing max hypertrophy may need more volume - Elite lifters may require higher specialization
