Military officials say the U.S. Army will roll out its new and improved fitness test by October 2020.
The Army Physical Fitness Test that soldiers have known since the 1980s 2 minutes of pushups; 2 minutes of situps; the 2-mile run will be retired before the end of the decade. While the 2-mile run will still conclude the assessment, five other events seen as a better predictor of successfully completing combat tasks have been added.
The Army Combat Fitness Test [ACFT] will ignite a generational, cultural change in Army fitness and become a cornerstone of individual Soldier combat readiness, Maj. Gen.

Good. It’s not fair for our soldiers to be in better shape than the enemy... (hic!)
What BS.
It's only to enable women. They can't meet the standards - so lower the standards.
It always starts with, ‘the women will have to meet the standards’ and then the standards are changed.
How to reduce standards so women can pass...
Why do I think there is way more to this?
The replacement exercise will be bench-pressing snowflakes and chasing trannies.
