Army AFT Calculator (2026 Standards)

By Mark Ellison, Editor · Updated October 24, 2026

Enter your age, sex, and five event results to get your AFT score on both the general standard and the combat standard, with the points you need to gain on each event to reach your next 10-point step.

How the two AFT standards are scored

The general standard scores you on the table for your sex and age group and requires at least 60 points in every event. The combat standard scores everyone on the column the tables mark M | C for their age group, requires 60 points in every event, and requires a total of at least 350.

Because five events at 60 points already add up to 300, a soldier who reaches 60 in every event automatically meets the general total. The combat standard is the only one where the total adds a separate hurdle: 50 points beyond the event minimums.

Who has to meet the 350-point combat standard

Soldiers holding one of 24 combat specialties must meet the combat standard, wherever they are assigned. Army Directive 2025-06 listed 21 specialties in April 2025; Army Directive 2026-07 added Army Diver (12D) and both explosive ordnance disposal specialties (89D and 89E) in April 2026.

If your specialty is not in this list, you test on the general standard. The directive applies the combat standard to the specialty you hold, not to your unit or job assignment.

When the combat standard took effect

The combat standard became the record standard on 1 January 2026 for the Regular Army, the Active Guard Reserve, and Reserve Soldiers on active-duty orders over 60 days. All other Army Reserve and National Guard Soldiers in combat specialties had until 1 June 2026, according to Army Directive 2025-06.

Soldiers in combat specialties who pass the general standard but miss the combat standard are subject to in-service reclassification under the same directive. For promotions, army.mil says soldiers compete within their own specialty, and the AFT has counted for all promotion actions since 1 October 2025.

What 60 points takes in each event

The 60-point row is the floor for every event on both standards. The table below shows that floor for each age group on the M | C column and the female column, so you can see exactly how much the combat standard raises the minimum for a woman in a combat specialty.

The plank is the only event where the 60-point time is the same on both columns at every age. For the other four events, a woman on the combat standard needs the same result as a man of her age.

Reading the calculator's "next 10 points" line

For each event, the calculator looks up the result you need to reach the next multiple of 10 points on your column. Some rows in the score tables are blank because no result maps to that exact score, so the next listed row can be more than one point away.

The line is a training target, not a prediction. It uses the same score table as your result, so a target for a 25-year-old on the combat standard comes from the 22–26 M | C column.

Results between table rows

The score tables list one result for each point value. If your result falls between two rows, you earn the points of the best row you met: a 15:40 two-mile run for a man aged 22–26 scores 89, because 15:38 is needed for 90 and 15:49 earns 89.

The same rule applies to repetitions and pounds. A 345-pound deadlift earns the 340-pound score, because the next row up requires 350.

The Combat Field Test is separate

Army Directive 2026-07 created the Combat Field Test, a seven-event, pass-or-fail test for the same 24 combat specialties. Regular Army, AGR, and Reserve soldiers on orders of 365 days or more take one AFT and one Combat Field Test for record each year. It does not replace the AFT and earns no points, so this calculator does not cover it.

Army.mil gives the standard as all seven events in 30 minutes or less. The directive sets a one-year implementation period from 17 April 2026, during which a failed Combat Field Test alone brings no administrative action.

Permanent profiles and the alternate aerobic events

Soldiers with permanent profiles take every event their profile allows. Under Army Directive 2025-06, soldiers in combat specialties must average at least 70 points across the events they take, for example 280 points across four events. The alternate aerobic events are scored go or no-go.

This calculator scores the five standard events only. The walk, bike, swim, and row alternate events are not included because they award no points.
