The Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) was replaced with the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) which is currently being rolled out. Many soldiers find it much easier, at least to meet the minimum requirements. The ACFT comprises six events: 3 repetition deadlift (MDL), standing power throw (SPT), hand-release pushup (HRP), sprint-drag-carry (SDC), plank (PLK) and 2 mile run (2MR). Minimum scores for the ACFT for males 17-21 are as follows: MDL - 120 lb x 3 reps SPT - throw a 15 lb ball 6 meters / 19.685 ft HRP - 10 pushups SDC - 3:15 PLK - 1:30 plank 2MR - 23:22 for 2-mile run All of that is quite easily achievable for the majority of males 17-21, I would say.
