After 20 years, I’m proud to officially graduate college alongside fellow Grandfield High School graduate and Oklahoma Army National Guard Soldier, SGT Sharon Richardson. What makes this moment even more meaningful is that we both pursued business degrees while serving in the Oklahoma Army National Guard. This journey took discipline, sacrifice, and perseverance, but it proves that no matter how long the road takes, the goal is still worth chasing. Proud of where we came from, proud to serve, and excited for what’s ahead.

The U.S. Army announced the implementation of the new Combat Field Test, a major update to its physical readiness program designed to align fitness standards with the demanding realities of modern combat.

The CFT does not replace the Army Fitness Test. Combat specialty Soldiers in the Regular Army and Reserve Component on active-duty orders for 365 days or more will be required to pass one of each test annually. All other Reserve Component Soldiers in combat specialties will take one fitness test per calendar year, alternating between the AFT and CFT.

The CFT is a seven-event sequence conducted continuously and scored on total time. Events include:

🟢 A one-mile run.
🟢 30 dead-stop push-ups.
🟢 A 100-meter sprint.
🟢 16 lifts of a 40-pound sandbag onto a 65-inch platform.
🟢 A 50-meter carry of two five-gallon Army water cans weighing 40 pounds each.
🟢 A 50-meter movement drill consisting of a 25-meter high crawl and a 25-meter 3-5 second rush.
🟢 A final one-mile run.

Soldiers must complete the test in 30 minutes or less while wearing the Army Combat Uniform, combat boots and a brown T-shirt, with no cover.
