ACFT Standards 2025 & Scoring Requirements

To pass the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), you must achieve a minimum total score of 360 points. This requires scoring at least 60 points in each of the six events. The maximum achievable score in each event is 100 points.

ACFT Changes for 2025 & 2024 (for Close Combat MOSs)

The Army has implemented higher ACFT standards for soldiers in close combat Military Occupational Specialties (MOSs). These changes include:

  • The minimum ACFT point standard for soldiers in close combat Military Occupational Specialties (MOSs) has been raised to 450 points.
  • A minimum of 150 pounds is now required for the 3 Repetition Maximum Deadlift (MDL).
