RASP Standards
If you are planning to attend RASP then this community can be for you, while I was going through my SFAS Training, we had guys training for RASP right along side us. Below are the standards that you should aim for in order to be successfull.
RASP PT test standards require high-level physical endurance, including a minimum of 41 hand-release push-ups in two minutes, a 2:35 plank, 6 pull-ups, and a 5-mile run in under 40 minutes. Other critical requirements include a 12-mile footmarch with a 35lb rucksack under 3 hours, a 15-meter swim in full uniform, and various skill-based tests.
Key RASP PT Test Requirements (Ranger Fitness Test - RFT)
- Hand-Release Push-ups: 41 in 2 minutes.
- Plank: 2:35.
- Pull-ups (Chin-ups): 6 (dead hang, no kip).
- 5-Mile Run: 40:00 or less.
- 12-Mile Ruck: 35 lb rucksack + weapon, under 3 hours.
- Water Survival Assessment: 15-meter swim in full uniform.
Recommended "Target" Standards (To Exceed Minimums)
- 5-Mile Run: 35 minutes.
- 2-Mile Run: 13 minutes.
- Push-ups: 75+.
- Sit-ups: 80+.
Other Important Information
- Failure Rates: Roughly 17% of candidates fail physical standards, while a large percentage of failures are due to quitting.
- Preparation: Candidates should focus on high-volume running, rucking, and calisthenics (push-ups, pull-ups, planks).
- Note on Tests: While the above are standard, training should also prepare candidates for potential changes to the Ranger Fitness Assessment (RPA) 2.0, which includes kettlebell carries, drag exercises, and shorter, faster, combined-event runs.
The RFT is typically administered upon arrival and is a recurring, mandatory requirement to remain in the program.
