Starting April 1, 2022, the U.S. Army began implementing the ACFT as the Army’s general physical fitness test for personnel actions. The Army will incorporate the ACFT in a time-phased, deliberate manner to ensure all Soldiers can train and adjust to the new events and scoring scales before scores used for personnel actions.

Record scores for the Regular Army commence in October 2022, giving active duty Soldiers 6 months to train for the revised test.
