CFT Calculator

This CFT calculator logs your split time for each of the seven Combat Field Test stations and compares your cumulative time against the Army’s 30-minute standard. The test is pass/fail on total time — there’s no per-event score.

Result
This CFT calculator provides a simplified estimate for planning purposes based on the published pass/fail time standard. Since it doesn’t account for event-specific technique faults, safety disqualifications, or unit-level grading procedures, treat it as a planning tool rather than an official score. All calculations run locally in your browser; no data is stored or transmitted.
Event guide

CFT Calculator Event Guide

All seven events run back-to-back with no rest — the clock never stops between stations.

1-Mile Run Opens & closes

This event bookends the test: one mile at the start to set pace, and one mile at the end to measure how much fatigue has built up.

30 Dead-Stop Push-Ups

Each rep starts from a dead stop on the ground rather than a continuous bounce, so it puts more demand on raw pushing strength.

100-Meter Sprint

Since fatigue from the push-ups is already building, this short, maximal-effort sprint checks straight-line speed under that added load.

16 Sandbag Lifts

Repeated lifts from the ground to shoulder height, alternating sides, target total-body lifting strength and grip.

50-Meter Water-Can Carry

Because this loaded carry runs down and back, it tests grip endurance and the ability to move under load without breaking form.

50-Meter Movement Drill

A mixed drill combining sprinting, lateral movement, and low crawling to mimic reacting to contact in the field.

CFT vs. AFT

Two different tests, both required

The Combat Field Test doesn’t replace the Army Fitness Test — combat-MOS Soldiers are on the hook for both.

FAQ

CFT Calculator FAQ

Is the CFT scored per event?+
No — every station feeds into one cumulative clock, so only the total time across all seven events decides pass or fail.
What’s the passing standard?+
30 minutes or less for all seven events combined. This is the same standard regardless of age or gender.
Does the CFT replace the AFT?+
No — Soldiers in the 24 designated combat specialties take both tests, either annually together or on an alternating schedule depending on component and duty status.
Who has to take the CFT?+
Soldiers in 24 designated combat MOSs must take it, spanning infantry, armor, Special Forces, combat engineers, field artillery, EOD, and Army divers.
