How the Marine CFT Calculator Works
Three combat-oriented events
Marine Corps CFT Events
The CFT measures short-duration, combat-related physical performance rather than duplicating the general endurance emphasis of the PFT.
Movement to Contact
An 880-yard timed movement in boots and utility uniform. Faster times receive higher scores.
Ammo Can Lifts
Repeated overhead lifts of a 30-pound ammunition can during the event period. More accepted repetitions score higher.
Maneuver Under Fire
A 300-yard timed course incorporating combat-related movement tasks. Faster completion receives more points.
Official scoring boundaries
Marine CFT Scoring Standards
The table below summarizes the published 100-point maximum and 40-point minimum performance boundaries for each age group. The calculator uses the event scoring curves represented by the official Marine Corps tables.
| Age | MTC 100 | MTC Min | ACL 100 | ACL Min | MANUF 100 | MANUF Min |
|---|
Classification
Understanding Your CFT Score
Each event is worth up to 100 points. A Marine must meet the minimum performance requirement in all three events; failing any one event fails the CFT regardless of the total.
Highest CFT classification, provided every event minimum is met.
Second-class total with all event minimums satisfied.
Third-class range; the 120 floor corresponds to three 40-point event minimums.
2026 policy context
What Changed in 2026?
The Marine Corps announced sex-neutral scoring for the PFT for Marines in combat-arms Primary Military Occupational Specialties beginning January 1, 2026, using the male age-normed PFT standard and a 210-point minimum.
The cited announcement does not state that the CFT age- and sex-based tables were replaced by that combat-arms PFT rule. For that reason, this page keeps the current published CFT scoring structure and does not invent a universal sex-neutral CFT standard.
Different purposes
Marine CFT vs. Marine PFT
The CFT emphasizes combat-oriented movement, loaded lifting, agility, and high-intensity functional work. The PFT is the Marine Corps' general physical fitness assessment built around upper-body, core, and aerobic performance.
Training focus
How to Improve Your CFT Score
Use your event breakdown to identify the lowest score first. Training should build the specific qualities needed for the CFT without turning every session into a maximal test.
Develop repeatable speed and recovery for the Movement to Contact.
Build controlled work capacity with appropriate loads and good mechanics.
Develop overhead lifting endurance with consistent, test-legal repetitions.
Practice direction changes, crawls, carries, and transitions under control.
Train legs, trunk, grip, and upper body to support all three events.
Progress gradually and allow enough recovery to maintain training quality.
Additional questions
Marine CFT Calculator FAQ
Does one failed CFT event fail the entire test?
Yes. MCO 6100.13A states that Marines must achieve the minimum performance requirement in all three events; failing any one event constitutes failure of the CFT.
Does this calculator include altitude scoring?
No. It uses the standard MTC and MANUF tables. The Marine Corps publishes separate altitude-compensation tables for qualifying locations at or above 4,500 feet; Ammo Can Lifts have no altitude compensation.
What happens if I perform better than the 100-point standard?
The event remains capped at 100 points, so the maximum possible total CFT score is 300.
Why is my age group different after my birthday?
The published scoring tables use fixed age bands. When your age enters a new band, the applicable maximum and minimum performance values can change.
Is the 2026 combat-arms sex-neutral rule included here?
The December 2025 Marine Corps announcement applies that rule to the PFT. This CFT calculator does not extend a PFT-specific rule to CFT scoring without CFT-specific official guidance.
Is this an official Marine Corps calculator?
No. It is an independent informational tool using published Marine Corps CFT standards. Official records and decisions remain controlled by current Marine Corps guidance.
