Promotions

For enlisted soldiers competing for promotion to SGT and SSG, AFT scores contribute directly to your promotion point total — up to 60 points.

Highest ROI

Requires no equipment and minimal recovery time. Daily 10-minute sessions can add 40 promotion-impacting points over 8 weeks.

Often Undertrained

A focused 8-week strength program can add 40–80 lbs to your 3RM and translate to 10–20 more points on this event alone.

Biggest Range

Widest scoring spread of any event. 3 structured runs/week typically improves time by 1–2 minutes over 12 weeks — worth 10–30 more points.
