If you’re on a permanent profile, the ACFT’s new events don’t have to spell an end to your illustrious career. You may be eligible for the modified ACFT — called the ACFT MOD — if you have clearance from your medical provider. Soldiers are required to participate in all the events they’re not profiled against, but at minimum, a permanently profiled soldier has to pass the following, regardless of his or her job’s physical demand category:

 MDL: You have to lift a minimum of 140 pounds, which nets you a score of 60 points. Head to the earlier section “3 Repetition Maximum Deadlift” for details on this event.

 SDC: Every permanently profiled soldier has to complete the SDC in under three minutes (that’s the 60-point score again). You can read about the SDC in the earlier section “Sprint-Drag-Carry.”

 An aerobic event: Depending on your profile, you may be required to participate in a 5,000-meter row, 12,000-meter bike, or a 1,000-meter swim with a minimum time of 25 minutes for each. I cover these events in the following sections.

You still take the ACFT MOD with your unit, but you’re the last in line for each event, and you take only the events your profile allows. You begin your alternate events 10 minutes after you complete your last standard event (unless you’re taking the swim event, in which case you leave right away for the pool). Unlike the other ACFT events, the test supervisor reads instructions before each of these events.

The ACFT MOD is only available to soldiers who are on permanent profiles. If you have a temporary profile, the Army expects you to recondition, retrain, and pass the full six-event ACFT.

The ACFT MOD may change over time, too. The Army is serious when it says that the rules governing this test are “living documents.”

Call your grader over when you’re getting close to the end of your required distance on the bike or row event. He or she has to watch your odometer and clock the exact moment you cross the “finish line” to record your point score.
