ACFT (Army Combat Fitness Test) Calculator

The ACFT (Army Combat Fitness Test) Calculator helps assess a soldier's physical readiness by evaluating performance in six events. To calculate your score, input your results for each event, and the calculator will provide your total score and category ranking.

Improving health based on results involves focusing on areas where you scored lower, such as strength, endurance, or agility, through targeted training and fitness programs. What is the ACFT?

• The Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) is a physical fitness test used by the U.S. Army to assess soldiers' physical readiness and combat capabilities.
• It consists of six events designed to evaluate various aspects of fitness, including strength, endurance, and agility.

How to Calculate ACFT Score?

1. Events: The ACFT includes the following six events:
2. • Deadlift (MDL)
   • Standing Power Throw (SPT)
   • Hand-Release Push-Up (HRP)
   • Sprint, Drag, and Carry (SDC)
   • Leg Tuck (LTK) or Plank (PLK)
   • Two-Mile Run (2MR)
2. Scoring: Each event is scored based on performance, with points awarded according to the standards set for different job categories (heavy, significant, moderate).
3. Total Score: The total score is the sum of points from all six events. A minimum score of 60 in each event is required to pass.

ACFT Scoring Scales

• The ACFT grading scales provide minimum and maximum scores for males and females across different age groups.
• For example:
• • Heavy job: Minimum score of 70 points in each event.
  • Significant job: Minimum score of 65 points in each event.
  • Moderate job: Minimum score of 60 points in each event.

What the Results Mean

• A total score of 360 points or higher is required to pass the ACFT.
• Scores below the minimum in any event indicate areas needing improvement, which can affect a soldier's eligibility for certain positions or promotions.

How to Improve Health According to the Result

• Identify Weak Areas: Focus on events where scores were lower. For instance, if the deadlift score is low, incorporate strength training into your routine.
• Structured Training Plan: Develop a comprehensive training plan that includes:
• • Strength training for deadlifts and push-ups.
  • Endurance training for the two-mile run.
  • Agility drills for the sprint, drag, and carry.
• Nutrition and Recovery: Ensure a balanced diet to support training and recovery and prioritize rest to prevent injuries.
• Regular Assessment: Continuously monitor progress by retaking the ACFT periodically to adjust training as needed.
