Lonnie Hibbard, commander of the CIMT, said in the release. Introducing the ACFT in initial military training will allow new soldiers to "train realistically and develop physically in the earliest phase in their career," Maj.

ACFT to Begin with New SoldiersĪnother change to the ACFT rollout plan is to have new enlisted soldiers and commissioned officers going through Basic Combat Training, Advanced Individual Training, One Station Unit Training, Warrant Officer Basic Course and the Basic Officer Leader Course begin taking the test as a graduation requirement starting after Oct. "We found it very difficult to grade the hand-lift due to a myriad of factors, including shoulder mobility," Whitfield East, a CIMT research physiologist, said in the release.
Then, after returning to the down position, they move their arms outward, followed by going in to do another push-up, according to the news release. To complete arm-extension push-ups, soldiers start chest down and do a traditional push-up. The minimum standards remain unchanged, but the maximum possible score dropped from 70 hand-release push-ups to 60 arm-extension push-ups, McGurk said. Halemano traveled to California to attend the ACFT training, which was intended to prepare instructors and graders for the impending 2020 roll out of the new physical readiness assessment. Lehuanani Halemano of the Hawaii Army National Guard performs hand-release push-ups during an Army Combat Fitness Test at Camp Parks in Dublin, Calif., on May 10, 2019.

The minimum score for the standing power throw dropped from 8.5 meters to 8 meters in Black in Gold, the minimum standard dropped 4.6 meters to 4.5 meters, McGurk said. In the new ACFT standards for 2020, the minimum requirement for the strength deadlift in Black increased from 180 pounds to 200 pounds, and the Gray increased from 160 pounds to 180 pounds, McGurk said. 140 pounds for the strength deadlift 4.6 meters for the power throw 10 hand-release push-ups 3 minutes, 35 seconds for the sprint, drag and carry 1 leg tuck and 21 minutes, 7 seconds for the two-mile run.
ACFT MOS STANDARDS HOW TO
to determine how to give the test efficiently, how to grade the test efficiently, to get the graders out there and to see if we got the scores about right," Michael McGurk, director of research for the Center for Initial Military Training (CIMT), the organization overseeing the new ACFT, told. Part of the field test was designed to see whether the initial set of ACFT standards needed to be adjusted.
The changes, locked in for fiscal 2020, include the official testing standards for all soldiers, each one tailored to an individual's military occupational specialty.
