- For the first time in nearly 40 years, the United States Army is changing how it measures the physical fitness of its soldiers. Over the course of the next year and a half, the Army will roll out the new Army Combat Fitness Test, or ACFT, to its 1.1 million soldiers across the globe. It’s hoped that the new test will prepare troops for the rigors of combat, something that some commanders say the old test was failing to do.
VICE News correspondent Alzo Slade headed down to Fort Eustis, Virginia, to see if he could measure up.

Would be interesting to do a video, on how the army decides which role suits you best. Also, how do the intelligence test works?
Relativism?
Only Combat can ready a soldier!
People, you want to show your solid as a rock?
Join the U.S. ARMY!
VICE News 21 min 2 mile run is a dream time. What age bracket is that for? Cause when I was in the Army minimum time was 16:30 for a 17-29 year old if I remember correctly. The rest of the test is easy stuff to get ready 2 mile run with the minimum time back in my day was the killer to prep for.
You lied. The standard for the highest MOS group has a run time of 17:00. If you fail one category you fail the whole test. This man would have failed the new pt test.
How about you all report on something important like how soldiers are being prescribed painkillers on an astronomical level
😄😂... After that 2 mile run; all the bass in his voice was gone... 😂😂. Still gotta give him respect for finishing strong. 💪🏿👌🏿👍🏿.
Grandmsm1 ☝🏾😂😂🤣🤣🤣☝🏾that was funny!!!!
Army is gonna be looking to recruit himmmmmm 😂
Nothing like watching an informative Army video under my DD214 blanket.
Every time i miss the army i just wipe my tears with my dd214 while laughing at videos like this
Coding in Zen Takes out the nostalgia for me every time- I remember watching some NG recruiting video for 68Ws (my old MOS in the early 2000s) and getting fairly hyped up. That was before of course my wife slammed an Asian Beef mre on the dinner table lol
Until the Army green weenie gets your ass with that recall.
Im hating lol🤣🤣 4 years left
Xavi 😂
Easier to pass, harder to max.
Facts
Yeah for pogs maybe they heavy categories are much harder
Yeah they showing the minimum for a non combat
Yup I could pass in it now with my civilian gym routine but in the past I would have to do in additional things to prep

See now this is what happens when a General officer tries CrossFit for a week and decides he thinks its cool. Lol

Lmfao. I can actually imagine that is what happened.
This is what happens when males do not want females in the Army.
@@keniciamuhammadtrody4277 huh, my previous comment seems to have disappeared.
In any case, every veteran I know says this is a pathetic joke and another example of lowered standards. When I served, I had trouble trying to meet the standards for the 2 mile run. Under these new standards, I would have an extra 5 minutes to do it. So... what are you talking about?
Seriously... I messed up my knee and shoulder back and struggled with asthma back then... even with those at their worst, I could run 2 miles in less than 21:04.
🤣
This is the vice news I remember
yeah. skate and attacking secret agendas. wait.
This is the most accurate and heartbreaking comment on TH-cam.

“Would rather have a smaller high quality Army then Larger low quality Army”...thats right.
Basic training still needs to get tougher though.
Neo The One 100% agree. Its BS and way too soft
This training is still easy asf🤣
That is also fewer wages to pay, so more money can be spent on R/D or procurement
Basically what the Spartans were.
One month of training and he would murder that test
he did anyways
Easy to pass, real hard to max.
With the exception of the 2-mile run, he was consistently in the 85-90% range in each event.
Yeah right, dude
MSG: “something else ain’t it?”
Alzo: “this some bullshyt”
Steve Harvey: “We asked 100 soldiers if the ACFT was something else.
“Alzo you got the number one answer!”
Finally. Took them 40 damn years to change that shit. Being able to do 60 situps doesnt really help in combat. Plus situps screw up your back so Im glad they took it out.
Now deadlifting with running shoes. Stand-by for the knee and/or lower back injuries.
the problem is, the equipment for the new test is expensive and difficult to transport for large units. you're not gonna be able to test a large amount of people at the same time. I like the idea of changing the test so it more closely resembles actual combat events, however like the soldier in the video said, a smaller yet better active duty army might better.
The civilian gyms most of us use just don't have the equipment nor the shuttle track to train on these events.
Its already been....ummm...interesting trying to get up to speed when off base.

31years of continuous service in this Army, never have I needed to throw anything over my head behind me.

0:36 look at the soldier walking past with the cone on their head
I thought the main selling point of pushups, situps and a run was that you could do the test anywhere with no equipment. Now its going to require weights and straps and medicine balls and kettlebells.
Alright boys take everything out of the beaverfit we're gonna do a layout for all the pt shit now...
Its to prepare them for combat situations, pushup are a very linear but efficient exercise but compound exercises are better for a soldier
mushroom cream pushups are a compound exercise though...
@@curtisebert1310 but it's only pushup, it's more efficient and effective to use weighted compounds than primarily body weight
And it ignores things like grip strength, back strength, leg strength if done the old way. Is there a less cumbersome way to do the new test? Probably, I'd throw the medicine ball right out, but strength is never a weakness
This video was amazing VICE needs to do more if this. BTW the journalist was great and very fit! Nice job

@@Elpipiton at least in the army you get to pick ur mos
It would be if the minimum scores weren't so damn low
@@Elpipiton that's what you get for disrespecting your body.
Ask the soldiers to answer anonymously for an accurate answer to the outdated pt test, you'll be surprised by how far physical fitness has come since the '80s.
@J_C their actual opinion. If they are anonymous they might not have the risk of getting in trouble if a higher up doesnt like their opinion.
I think the exercises are more applicable on this PT test than the previous. However, the standards are too low. If I am not mistaken, they try to make it gender neutral (which isn't a problem in itself). The problem comes in when instead of raising the standards for females, they lower the standard for males to accommodate the females.
This is coming from someone who is in a combat MOS' , so a pog perspective may be different. The pt test does seem to accommodate POGs and infantry with different pt standards, which is good.
This pt test is better it'll help get the little pussies out the army
@@g24units83 The minimums are way lower now. No one is getting kicked out of the Army.
i am a e-6 and i think the new pt test is a waste of time. it starts at the recruiters

Former Army Medic here. I wish I could take this test while I was in. It looks like fun and seriously tests your combat abilities. I'm genuinely interested in this. This is a great move by the Army: first the removal of the berets (absolutely hated them), removal of the ACU's ( who in Gods name approved that POS), and now this.
This called me fat in 5 branches of the military.
That Major General’s squashed cover though...
"This some bs" 🤣🥇 Good video. He had me laughing and I love that he did the test
I weighed 100lbs, was in my late 20’s and was anything but physically strong when I went to BCT. Failed my first PT test, but steadily improved when I understood its not 100% about physical strength. In my experience, anyone with heart can give 100% daily and pass the physical and mental requirements.

Wars are won through maneuvers not superior firepower, because you need local superiority (relocation) instead of armament statistics. Also, a lot of people died in Vietnam, so you shouldn't be joking around since 3 million died, actually. But you don't understand warfare beyond weapon flashes.
@@jaggsta You do realize the number of bodies the US military has stacked in EVERY SINGLE war (even the ones we "lost") we've been in has been astronomically more than our own losses right? Just because the 10 p.m. news says we didn't win doesn't make it so...

Now this was a good video! You should give the host and his team a raise for producing a nice lighthearted, non-political, but informative segment on something most would otherwise be unaware of.
Non-political? The demonstrator was a female... thats political when you have many more capable men. Especially in Fort Bragg where is the home of Special Forces. You have green berets all over that base which are the fittest in the Army but they decided to go with a female... non-political I think not...
@@PochoNieves bro… women existing isn’t political 💀
I think the army should adopt a similar system as the marine corps and have a pft to measure general fitness and a cft to measure combat fitness and then stagger those two tests.
Now that might be a better idea.
Kolin Martz that wouldn’t work. Essentially you have Airborne units and other elite units in the Army that surpass the Marine Corps in whatever tests they use in the battlefield
I’ve only been in two infantry units and they each had their own unique combat physical test, failing it wouldn’t get you kicked out the army but your team leader would make your life hell if you did
@smith Western I feel like your numbers should have to mirror your original gender. Ijs.....If I was a woman I'd be upset if someone who was transgendered came in and lapped all the naturally born women's scores.
Oh hell no. There's a difference between the two branches. You join the Marines you get their version, same for the Army. No Soldier wants to be a Marine and vice versa. Otherwise there's no point in having separate branches as you might as well just have one huge branch consisting of both. Marines have the most strictest rules Army doesn't and don't need it. There's enough gay rules in the Army already no one wants it to be another Marine Corps. You want to be a Marine you go and earn that title with their rules not in the Army.

ACFT = failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure lol. It's certainly a wakeup call from thinking the APFT was hard! Staying motivated for the leg tuck is especially brutal, 2 minutes feels like an eternity on the bar. At least the 2 mile gets done faster the harder you push yourself.
Great job covering this! As a solider, I’m excited for the new ACFT. I think it’s a far better test of our combat readiness than the current APFT.

Im looking forward to taking this new test. It seems Impossible to fail and much more difficult to max.
One of the changes I actually like in the army.
Finally the army starts making the right steps! First they got rid of those dumb berets (cool for spec ops, but not needed in the general army). They they went to the multi-cam. All that's left is making the cover more presentable. Not just a smushed hat. Something that makes everyone look more uniform. Aside from that this new test is great. Everything done there is what you would do if your fighting position is under attack.
It lowered the standards, people get to rest between pushups, and it’s way too easy to run two miles in under 21 min. This is pathetic
@@carrot92 I was thinking that at first but I'm sure that's his age group. However, i remember when i was getting out, they were talking about implementing this. The reality is that running 2 miles in 10 min doesnt prove that you can pick up, drag, or carry your buddy. Or transfer ammo from one position to another. Or sprint to a different defensive/offensive position. Which is all combat related, and what the test is about. Oh and they arent resting, what they are attempting to reenact is if you were laying down shooting, which happens a lot, they tried to get up. Then moved and did it again.
@@carrot92 Hand release push ups are harder than regular push ups.
@@carrot92 21 min is ridiculous! 10:56 was my best time!
@@wtf1231122 The Marines did it better. Instead of chucking a medicine ball over your head for distance, you do reps with a 30-pound ammo can for two minutes. Instead of dragging a standard, 90-pound weight, you drag someone who is the same body weight as you.
for the AIT final run, our company ran the course in formation. That made it so much easier. No one wanted be be the one who dropped out. Don't know if that would be allowed today.
Im really tired of hearing that stastistic about "only 30% are able to serve".
Thats BS. Ive been through the process and enlisted but the rate that MEPs DQs kids is insane. "Oh you have a scar on your back from 20 years ago? Gonna need a consult son." "Wait, you had a broken wrist when you were 10? Gonna have to get a waiver bud." "You said you take melatonin sometimes to help your sleep cycle because you work third shift and have a bad sleep schedule? Thats a sleep disorder kid, PDQ."
When MEPs is DQing kids for practically breathing this is the crap you get.
Oh yeah. Its a big problem in ROTC. Little skin rash that might be exzma? DQ. Weird scar? DQ. Had a hernia? DQ. We had our best runner who was hitting the max points you can get for a run end up medically DQ because of a POSSIBLE case of asthma happening when he was a little kid. Didn't have it now, but POSSIBLY had it 15 years ago. Dude was running 1.5mi in the low 9s and he got DQ because of a single episode of having a hard time breathing as a kid. Its fucking crazy.
Nosloveingneko lul ROTC
I thought that until I was in for a while. It makes sense, the filtering process prevents people from coming in with a pre-existing risk and injuring themselves. It would cost a fortune to medically retire everyone who’s fucked up.
@@Zachman543 I'm not talking about serious pre-conditions. They DQ'd a kid when I was a MEPs for taking Melatonin. The doctor said he had an "over the counter addiction to sleep aids". I maintained contact with the kid (my roomate in the hotel the night before) and when he requested his file the doctor had wrote down he suffered from an "anxiety based sleep disorder. He doesnt. And he got in 6 yrs later when the budget opened up.
Shit, one of the female doctors tried telling me I had scoliosis and flat feet. 1.) I dont have anything close to scoliosis 2) My arches are actually big.
The place is a joke.
Thats why recruiters tell there recruits to not say shit when going into MEPS. MEPS purpose is to not have possible profile rangers or slackers in the military. That's why they are so hard when it comes to any medical problems from past resolved or unresolved. When i went to meps niggas was just snitching on themselves like MEPs can not access your personal medical files dumbasses.

The current recruit % that try to join and cannot even pass a simple physical standards as well as the obesity issue has been described as a National Security Issue for several years now. Thanks for this great report! I hope it helps those young men and women get a better idea what is a starting point for them to become a US Serviceman and Servicewomen in the US Army. I also hope the other branches are paying attention to this issue as well. This is a positive step in the right direction!!

The FitnessGram Pacer Test is a multistage aerobiccapacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal bodeboop. A sing lap should be completed every time you hear this sound. ding Remember to run in a straight line and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark. Get ready!… Start.

Please do one in the Marine Corps CFT and PFT
As a veteran of the Army in the 80's, let me throw some props out to Alzo Slade for doin' the work. There's lots of folks out there who feel mighty free to comment, but have never had to hump the ruck.
My time in the Army was marked by the raising of standards across the board, in all phases of military life, as the institution finally recovered itself from the mess of Vietnam and the Hollow Army of the 70's. DA [Dept. of the Army] was getting rid of the professional drunks in the ranks, smoking was slowly being clamped down on. Training standards were raised. Physical standards were being addressed. I well remember the uproar when the Post Commander of the last base I was stationed at ordered that ALL troops on post, whatever their command, did PT every single morning. And issued Article 15s [or NJPs for you anchorheads out there] to every single troop who didn't comply. Even a battalion commander Lieutenant Colonel got a letter of reprimand for no-showing.
This should be all High School PE Outcomes (adjusted for dif-ability students).
As a Marine, I’m pumped that the Army has implemented a no-joke fitness test. I’ve modified my PT program as if I were training for some of these events and that has helped me improve my Marine Corps fitness test scores. I generally don’t give the Army a lot of props, but I will for this one.
the acft is easy but maxing for ur age group is harder 145lbs, 260 deadlift, 8.2 ball throw, 1:45 sprint drag carry, 3:24 plank, 14:40 2 miles
Thank you for this, was just talking about this yesterday
But can you shoot 🤷🏾♂️😂
Thank you!!! None of this has to do with combat!!😂😂😂 Shooting ability and your combat traing has everything yo don with what you do down range. Coupled with the job you learned in AIT.
I'm really glad you made this now I know how to train properly because Im making weight right now amd graduating and June or July. I'm making weight rn but I can do these to be ready ready. I ask my srgt but they don't tell me like it's some secret or something
Sgt** ,and they don’t tell you because it is taught to you at bct. They teach you specific form on how you must perform each task to their liking . if I were you I would only worry about making weight and getting in ,everything else will come just worry about the basics like running, pushups and pull-ups . Good luck !
Im not sure of this PT test will be in effect yet. I mean at BCT and AIT were still going by the current test.

In the uk we have similar standards, for people hoping to join the forces. Our combat fitness test which has to be completed every year for most ranks is 8 miles in 2 hours with 20kg of kit
This is brilliant. I'm glad our men and women finally have a PT test that's built on science and experience.

Just left BCT @ Fort Sill at got a 493 had I lowered my 2 Mille by a minute I would’ve easily got 550. Hardest part is the sprint drag carry. Everything else was pretty easy as long as you gave a decent effort.
The Army installations need to create a PT shelter with a 400 meter track specifically designed for this test in each battalion or brigade area, so that the test can be administered in a timely fashion and all the equipment and stations are permanently set up. They shouldn’t leave it up to the individual units to set up this thing.
1-222nd avn fort eustis almost outta here
If you can roll you are good to go
I think it’s great there trying to center them more around things they can use.
VICE why ya be playing a damn drum line in the background? This ain't the 80's haha also respect to Alzo for punching out a solid score
What it take to pass basic training - nothing at all everyone can do it
most high school athlete can pass this test easily
we've done this in our base and honestly I think its easier to pass but very hard to max out
This old general has a point. In GWOT, most of the support personnel are protected by combat personnel. Usually the offense from the opposing force was minimal and the support personnel wouldn’t have to fight. However, in a conventional war there would be a much higher chance of having to actually fight off an attack as a “non combat” support soldier. It’s like the marines say, every marine is a rifleman first. The army needs to have the attitude that every soldier is a rifleman first. No more of this, well I’m a truck driver I don’t need to be combat ready. Yeah until you get ambushed by an opposing conventional army unit, your truck gets disabled, and you have to get out and fight right along side the infantry escorting you because you are out numbered.
this is so pog
"This is so POG"
Says the infantryman that has no job skills after they get out/kicked out of the Army. Only idiots say "POG" or "legs".
