 After Delays, Army Ready to Roll Out Combat Arms Fitness Test

Stars and Stripes | Dec 21, 2016 | by Alex Horton

SAN ANTONIO — The Army will roll out a new physical fitness test Jan. 3 for recruits and soldiers to reclassify to demanding combat arms jobs, the Army said Wednesday.

After delays this year, the Occupational Physical Assessment Test will be administered to new recruits interested in physically demanding specialties such as the infantry and tank crews, along with soldiers already in the service looking to change their military occupational specialty.

Recruits will take the assessment test before basic combat training, said an Army Training and Doctrine Command spokesman, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The test will help predict the ability of a recruit or a soldier to meet physical demands in those jobs.
