What is the AFT combat MOS standard?

Soldiers in designated close-combat MOSs are held to a single sex-neutral scale and must score at least 60 points per event with a 350-point total minimum. Soldiers in all other MOSs are scored on the age- and gender-normed scale shown on this page.

Does the AFT still count for promotion points?

Yes. AFT performance contributes promotion points toward sergeant and staff sergeant under the current DA PAM 600-8-19 and MILPER guidance. Use the calculator to find your total, then apply the current promotion-point table.

Army AFT Standards 2026

Q: What is a passing AFT score?

A soldier must score at least 60 points in each of the five events, for a minimum total of 300 out of 500. Failing any single event is a test failure even if the total is 300 or higher.

Q: What are the five AFT events?

The 3-repetition maximum deadlift (MDL), the hand-release push-up (HRP), the sprint-drag-carry (SDC), the plank (PLK), and the 2-mile run (2MR). The standing power throw was removed when the ACFT became the AFT.

The Army Fitness Test (AFT) replaced the ACFT and drops the standing power throw, leaving five events scored on a 0–100 scale for a 500-point maximum. This page lists the minimum passing (60-point) and maximum (100-point) marks for every event by age and gender, plus how the combat MOS standard and promotion points work. For an exact total on a performance in between, use the Army AFT calculator.

Pass / Fail

What it takes to pass

60 per event

Every one of the five events must score at least 60 points.

300 total minimum

Five events × 60 = 300 out of a possible 500.

Any event fail = test fail

Scoring 59 in a single event fails the AFT even at a 300+ total.

Combat MOS

Designated close-combat MOSs use one sex-neutral scale, 60 per event, 350 total minimum.

Deadlift (MDL)

3-rep-max deadlift — pounds

Combat MOS & Promotion Points

Two things the base chart doesn't show

Combat MOS standard

Soldiers in designated close-combat specialties (infantry, armor, cavalry scout, combat engineer, fire support, and related MOSs) are scored on one sex-neutral scale and must hit 60 per event with a 350-point total minimum — higher than the 300 general standard.

Promotion points

AFT performance still feeds promotion points toward SGT and SSG. The point value of your total is set by the current DA PAM 600-8-19 and MILPER message — find your AFT total first, then read it off the current table.

Between The Lines

Every rep and second in between has a value

The chart above shows only the pass line and the max for each event. A 41-rep push-up, a 2:05 SDC, or a 16:40 run all land somewhere between 60 and 100, and the five events add up to your total.

What is the combat MOS standard?

Designated close-combat MOSs use one sex-neutral scale: 60 points per event minimum and a 350-point total minimum.

Does the AFT count for promotion points?

Yes, toward SGT and SSG under the current DA PAM 600-8-19 and MILPER guidance. Find your total, then apply the current promotion-point table.
