FAQ

What is a good Army Fitness Test score?+
A strong AFT score depends on your goals, unit, and MOS, but scores above 450 are generally competitive, and scores 485+ represent elite performance. The most important goal is passing every event while steadily improving your weakest areas.
What is the minimum passing AFT score?+
To pass the Army Fitness Test, soldiers must meet the minimum standard for every event. Failing one event means failing the overall test, even if the total score is otherwise high.
What events are on the Army Fitness Test?+
The AFT includes five events: Maximum Deadlift, Hand-Release Push-Up, Sprint-Drag-Carry, Plank, and the 2-Mile Run.
How often should I train for the AFT?+
Most soldiers improve fastest with 4-6 training days per week using a mix of strength work, muscular endurance, sprint conditioning, and aerobic running. Training should focus on weaknesses without neglecting the other events.
How can I improve my AFT score quickly?+
The fastest improvements usually come from targeted event-specific training, consistent running, better pacing, improved movement standards, and structured strength progression.

AFT Events Overview

Learn how to improve each Army Fitness Test event with targeted training strategies, common mistakes, exercise selection, and video breakdowns designed specifically for soldiers preparing for the AFT.

MDL

Maximum Deadlift

The Maximum Deadlift measures lower-body strength, posterior chain development, grip strength, and total-body power. Strong MDL performance depends on technique, bracing, progressive overload, and consistent strength training.

HRP

Hand-Release Push-Up

The Hand-Release Push-Up measures upper-body endurance, pressing strength, shoulder stability, and trunk control. Improving HRP performance requires practicing the event standard while building chest, triceps, shoulders, and core endurance.

SDC

Sprint-Drag-Carry

The Sprint-Drag-Carry tests speed, power, agility, anaerobic conditioning, and the ability to recover under fatigue. Most soldiers improve by training acceleration, sled drags, carries, lateral movement, and repeat sprint conditioning.

PLK

Plank

The Plank measures core endurance, body control, and the ability to maintain tension under fatigue. Better plank performance comes from practicing long holds, improving breathing, and strengthening the abs, obliques, glutes, and shoulders.

2MR

2-Mile Run

The 2-Mile Run measures aerobic fitness, pacing, running economy, and mental toughness. Improvement usually requires a mix of easy runs, threshold work, intervals, and consistent weekly mileage.
