Five Army PT Test Events
These are the five scored events used for current AFT scoring. The calculator uses the same event list when converting raw results into event points.
MDL: 3-Repetition Maximum Deadlift
Soldiers lift with a hex bar for three repetitions. This event assesses lower-body, grip, and core strength.
HRP: Hand-Release Push-Up
Soldiers complete correctly performed hand-release push-ups in two minutes. This event measures upper-body endurance.
SDC: Sprint-Drag-Carry
Soldiers complete five 50-meter shuttles involving sprinting, dragging, lateral movement, carrying, and a final sprint.
PLK: Plank
Soldiers hold a proper plank position for time. This event measures core strength and endurance.
2MR: Two-Mile Run
Soldiers run two miles on a generally flat course. This event measures aerobic endurance.
