On April 1 the Army is poised to roll out a third version of its Combat Fitness Test.

Many have criticized the move, including the Army’s first female infantry officer, Capt. Kristen Griest.

“It is wholly unethical to allow the standards of the nation’s premiere fighting units to degrade so badly, just to accommodate the lowest-performing soldiers,” Griest wrote in a Feb. 25 opinion piece for the Modern War Institute at West Point.
