Book excerpt: This publication establishes the Army's physical testing doctrine for the IOC period October 2019 to October 2020. This publication comprises the physical test for the Army's Holistic Health and Fitness System. The ACFT is the means to validate a Soldier's and unit's physical readiness training - it shows how effective that training is in preparing Soldiers for the combat tasks they all have to be ready to perform. The principle audience is leaders at all organizational levels. All leaders are trainers. Leaders include officers, warrant officers, non commissioned officers, and those Army civilians in leadership positions. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this publication. This publication derives from Department of Defense Directive 1308.1 and Department of Defense Instruction 1308.3, 5 November 2002. Army Regulation 350-1, 15 September 2019, directs the Army's mandatory training requirements. Commanders and staff will establish training programs consistent with AR 350-1 and Field Manual 7-22 and in consultation with their Holistic Health and Fitness Teams and Master Fitness Trainers. Training that addresses both the physical and non-physical aspects of Soldier readiness is considered by senior Department of Defense leadership to be essential to mission success. The proponent for this publication is the United States Army Center for Initial Military Training (CIMT), Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC).
