AFT Calculator

Use this Army Fitness Test calculator to check your five event results against the published 60-point minimum for your age band and scoring column. It supports the General and Combat standards without inventing point values between rows of the Army’s official scoring tables.

Accuracy note: Army AFT point scores are discrete table lookups, not a linear formula. This tool therefore checks the published 60-point event thresholds and does not interpolate an unofficial 0–100 score. Use the linked Army scoring tables for exact event points and an official record score.

How scoring works

Why this AFT calculator does not interpolate points

The Army publishes discrete raw-result rows for each point value. A result between printed rows receives the applicable table score; it should not be estimated with a made-up age multiplier or straight-line formula.

The AFT has five events: the three-repetition maximum deadlift, hand-release push-up, sprint-drag-carry, plank and two-mile run. Each event can contribute up to 100 points. The General standard uses age- and sex-normed scoring; the Combat standard uses the age-normed M | C scoring column for both sexes. Army Directive 2026-07 added 12D, 89D and 89E to the combat-specialty group, bringing the current set to 24 specialties.

This checker focuses on the most important first question: whether each raw event result reaches the published 60-point threshold. For the exact 0–100 point value, use the official scoring table linked above. That avoids presenting an estimated score as if it were an Army score.

Standards

General vs. Combat AFT standard

General standard

Uses the age- and sex-normed AFT scoring columns. The published passing framework is at least 60 points per event and 300 points total. This threshold checker cannot determine the 300-point total without the official discrete point lookups.

Combat standard

Uses the age-normed, sex-neutral M | C scoring column. Soldiers serving in the designated combat specialties need at least 60 points per event and 350 points total. This threshold checker cannot determine the 350-point total without the official discrete point lookups.

2026 policy context

AFT and the separate Combat Field Test

The AFT remains the Army fitness test. Army Directive 2026-07 established the Combat Field Test (CFT) for Soldiers serving in designated combat specialties and added 12D, 89D and 89E to the combat-specialty group, bringing the current set to 24 specialties. The CFT complements rather than replaces the AFT.

Because policy can change, use current Army guidance and your unit’s instructions for record-test requirements. This page is an independent calculator and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. Army or Department of Defense.

Events

The five AFT events

3RM Deadlift (MDL)

Three-repetition maximum deadlift. Higher weight is better.

Hand-Release Push-Up (HRP)

Repetitions completed to the required standard in the event period. More repetitions are better.

Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC)

A timed 250-meter sequence of sprinting, dragging, lateral movement and carrying. Faster is better.

Plank (PLK)

A timed plank hold performed to the required position. Longer is better.

Two-Mile Run (2MR)

A timed two-mile run. Faster is better.

FAQ

AFT Calculator FAQ

Is this an official Army AFT calculator?
No. CalcsDone is independent. This checker compares entered results with published Army AFT 60-point thresholds. Only the Army’s official process and scorecard establish a record score.
Why doesn’t this AFT score calculator estimate my exact points?
The official scoring scales use discrete table rows. The previous version of this page used a custom linear model, which could produce values that did not match the published tables. This version deliberately avoids that error. Use the official scoring-table link for the exact event point value.
What is the minimum AFT event score?
The published passing framework uses a 60-point minimum for each event. The General total minimum is 300; the Combat standard requires 350 total.
How does Combat scoring handle sex?
The Combat AFT standard is sex-neutral but age-normed. In the published scoring tables, both sexes use the M | C column when the Combat standard applies.
Did the AFT replace the ACFT?
Yes. The AFT became the Army’s fitness test of record on June 1, 2025 and uses five events rather than the former six-event ACFT structure.
Is the CFT the same test as the AFT?
No. Army Directive 2026-07 established the Combat Field Test as a separate requirement for Soldiers serving in designated combat specialties. It complements rather than replaces the AFT.

Sources & methodology

Official references

The checker stores the published 60-point raw-result thresholds by age and scoring column and applies only the event direction shown in the Army tables: minimum weight/repetitions/time for MDL, HRP and PLK, and maximum time for SDC and 2MR. It does not interpolate exact 0–100 scores. Policy statements should be checked against current Army publications, especially before a record test.
