Question

In BCT and OSUT (Phase I-IV), effective 1 October 2022, Trainees/Soldiers must pass the ACFT with how many points in each event?

Who can waive one event out of the six event ACFT if the individual scores at least 50 points in that event?

Answer 1

Trainees/Soldiers must score at least 60 points in each of the six events to pass the ACFT from 1 October 2022. A Commander at or above the O5 level can waive one event if the Trainee/Soldier scores at least 50 points in that event due to a temporary medical condition.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Basic Combat Training (BCT) and One Station Unit Training (OSUT), effective 1 October 2022, Trainees/Soldiers must pass the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) with a minimum of 60 points in each event.

The ACFT consists of six events: the maximum deadlift, standing power throw, hand-release push-ups, sprint-drag-carry, leg tuck (or plank), and the two-mile run. For the waiver of one event, a Commander at or above the O5 level (Lieutenant Colonel or equivalent) may waive one event if the individual scores at least 50 points in that specific event, and if the waiver is due to a temporary medical condition documented by medical personnel.
