00:00.354 --> 00:01.930
- So tell me what formation.

00:01.930 --> 00:04.498
I'm checking to see if
you're gonna be safe.

00:04.498 --> 00:05.915
I'm here to train

00:06.414 --> 00:09.164
seventh ID leadership, and cadre,

00:09.733 --> 00:13.983
and trainers on the armies
new combat fitness test.

00:14.727 --> 00:18.810
The ACFT tests for a range
of fitness components,

00:19.372 --> 00:21.932
so you will have to be able to demonstrate

00:21.932 --> 00:25.932
confidence in strength,
and anaerobic endurance,

00:26.800 --> 00:29.550
and muscular strength, and power.

00:29.769 --> 00:31.719
Whereas those things aren't tested

00:31.719 --> 00:34.386
quite so completely in the APFT.

00:35.286 --> 00:38.437
The army is field testing for the ACFT.

00:38.437 --> 00:42.787
The next 12 months with 62
battalions across all components.

00:42.787 --> 00:44.977
Four of those battalions are here

00:44.977 --> 00:48.396
at Joint Base Lewis-McChord,
part of seventh ID.

00:48.396 --> 00:51.517
And that fitness test will
become the army's test of record

00:51.517 --> 00:52.682
in October of 2020.
