2026 Army AFT Standards at a Glance
The five-event Army Fitness Test has a maximum composite score of 500. Passing requires the applicable total and at least 60 points in every event.
General Standard minimum with 60 or more points in each event.
Combat Standard minimum for designated combat specialties, with 60 in each event.
A high composite does not offset an event score below the minimum.

How the Army PT Calculator Works
The calculator maps age to the official five-year scoring band, selects the General or Combat profile, and converts each raw result to an estimated event score. It then adds the five scores and checks both the composite target and every 60-point minimum.
Current test of record
What Is the Army PT Test in 2026?
The current test is the Army Fitness Test (AFT). It replaced the Army Combat Fitness Test as the official test of record on June 1, 2025 and retained five events after removal of the standing power throw.
The test evaluates muscular strength, upper-body endurance, anaerobic capacity, core endurance, and aerobic endurance.
3-Rep Max Deadlift
Measures lower-body, grip, and core muscular strength with three repetitions.
Hand-Release Push-Up
Measures upper-body muscular endurance during a two-minute repetition event.
Sprint-Drag-Carry
Measures anaerobic capacity through five 50-meter shuttle movements.
Plank
Measures core endurance through an accepted timed hold.
Two-Mile Run
Measures sustained aerobic endurance over an authorized two-mile course.
Compare the scales
General Standard vs. Combat Standard
Choose the standard that applies to your official status. Unit goals do not change the authorized pass/fail standard for Soldiers outside the designated combat specialties.
| Standard | Who it applies to | Scoring model | Event minimum | Total minimum |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General | Combat-enabling and other applicable specialties | Sex- and age-normed | 60 | 300 / 500 |
| Combat | Designated combat MOS/AOCs | Sex-neutral and age-normed | 60 | 350 / 500 |
2026 implementation
When the Combat Standard Took Effect
The AFT became the test of record on June 1, 2025. The Combat Standard began applying to Active Component Soldiers in designated combat specialties on January 1, 2026, and to Reserve and National Guard Soldiers in those specialties on June 1, 2026.
Current body composition policy
Does a High AFT Score Exempt You From WHtR?
No. Army body-composition policy changed in July 2026. The earlier 465-point AFT exemption was rescinded, and all Soldiers must meet the current waist-to-height ratio standard unless an authorized medical exemption applies.
This page therefore does not present a 465-point result as a current body-composition exemption.
Practical preparation
How to Improve Your AFT Score
Prepare for the event standards you will actually perform. Build gradually, protect movement quality, and use practice results to identify the event closest to 60 points.
Progress lower-body and grip strength while rehearsing the authorized hex-bar movement.
Accumulate technically consistent hand-release push-up repetitions under the event time limit.
Practice efficient direction changes and implement handling without sacrificing control.
Build repeatable hold time while maintaining the required straight-line position.
Combine aerobic base work with controlled intervals near the pace required for your target score.
Questions after calculating
Army PT Calculator FAQ
Does the Army still use the ACFT in 2026?
No. The AFT replaced the ACFT as the Army test of record on June 1, 2025. Earlier ACFT records may still matter for limited historical administrative purposes, but current testing uses the five-event AFT.
Can I use this calculator for both General and Combat standards?
Yes. Select the standard that applies to your status. Combat scoring is sex-neutral and age-normed; General scoring uses sex and age.
What happens if one event is below 60 but my total is high enough?
The result does not meet the standard. Every event must reach at least 60 points in addition to the required composite total.
Does age affect an AFT score?
Yes. Both General and Combat scales are age-normed. The General scale also uses separate male and female columns.
Can commanders require the Combat Standard for every Soldier?
Commanders may set demanding training goals, but the official Army FAQ says they cannot impose the Combat Standard as the pass/fail criterion on Soldiers outside the designated combat MOS/AOCs.
Are AFT scores used for promotion points?
Army policy uses AFT records in promotion processes, with separate implementation timing for General and Combat scores. Current personnel guidance controls how a specific score is converted for promotion purposes.
Does a 465 AFT score still create a body-composition exemption?
No. The Army’s July 2026 body-composition policy rescinded that exemption. Soldiers must meet the current WHtR standard regardless of AFT performance, except where a current authorized medical exemption applies.
Can I use practice results before an official test?
Yes. This page is designed for planning and practice estimates. It does not replace an authorized test, the complete official score tables, or a score recorded by Army personnel.
