Combat Fitness Test

The Combat Fitness Test is a physical fitness test of the United States Marine Corps, and is used in complement to the USMC Physical Fitness Test. The British Army formerly used a test of the same name which is currently known as the Annual Fitness Test.

United States Marine Corps
In the Marine Corps, the Combat Fitness Test has three events:


 * an 880-yard "Movement to Contact" run in boots and utility pants
 * two minutes of lifting a 30-pound ammo can over the head, earning points for the number done in the time limit
 * the “Maneuver Under Fire” drill is part obstacle course, part conditioning, and part combat test:
 * 25-yard crawl
 * hauling a simulated casualty using two different carries: drag and fireman's carry over 75 yards zigzaging through cones
 * sprint while carrying two 30-pound ammo cans over 75 yards through the same cones
 * throwing a dummy hand grenade into a marked circle 22.5 yards away
 * 3 pushups and a sprint with the ammo cans to the finish line.



This test was implemented in mid-2008 by Commandant of the Marine Corps James T. Conway as a more combat oriented version of, but supplement to, the Physical Fitness Test.
