Summary
The U.S. Army has introduced a new Combat Field Test, a seven-event sequence to assess physical readiness for modern combat. The test is separate from the Army Fitness Test, which consists of five timed sequences. Dr. Mike Israetel, a bodybuilder and exercise scientist, attempted the Army Fitness Test and scored 347 out of 500, failing to pass. He praised the test as a good diagnostic of physical fitness but suggested that the 2-mile run could be replaced with a 1-mile run.
