3-Repetition Maximum Deadlift (MDL)
Description: The deadlift measures total body strength — especially your hips, legs, grip, and lower back. It’s one of the most physically demanding events and essential for combat readiness.
Action: You’ll perform three reps of a heavy deadlift, using proper form to maximize safety and effectiveness.
Equipment: Hex bar (trap bar) with 60 lbs plates
Standing Power Throw (SPT)
Description: This event tests explosive power in your hips, shoulders, and core. Soldiers throw a 10-pound medicine ball backwards overhead — measuring coordination, strength, and athleticism.
Action: Throw the ball from a standing position. The farther it flies, the higher your score.
Equipment: 10-pound medicine ball.
Hand-Release Push-Up (HRP)
Description: Upper-body strength and core endurance are front and center here. The HRP event challenges your ability to push through fatigue with clean, controlled movement.
Action: You’ll complete as many reps as possible in two minutes, lifting hands briefly between each push-up.
Equipment: Bodyweight only – no gear needed.
Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC)
Description: Soldier pulling a sled on grass during the ACFT SDC event
Action: Sprint, drag a sled, shuffle laterally, carry kettlebells, and sprint again — all within 5 x 50-meter shuttles.
Equipment: Sleds and kettlebells
Plank (PLK)
Description: The Plank event is a straightforward yet challenging test of core strength and endurance. It also assesses balance, making it a fundamental component of a soldier's fitness regime.
Action: Soldiers are required to maintain a proper plank position for as long as possible, showcasing core strength and endurance.
Equipment: No equipment needed.
Two-Mile Run (2MR)
Description: The Two-Mile Run is the ultimate test of aerobic endurance. This event gauges a soldier's ability to sustain long periods of physical activity and recover quickly during repetitive tasks.
Action: Soldiers run two miles, with the time taken being the key metric for assessment.
Equipment: No specific equipment needed, performed on a measured, generally flat outdoor course.
