Topic: Basic Fitness Assesment

ajpigger · February 1st, 2006

Just wondering what the Basic Fitness Assesment was for other countries armies. Here in Australia ours is pretty easy, a soldier must complete two a year. There are different standards for different age groups/sexes but we do the following.
Pushups Test
Sit up test
2.4 klm run.
We also do a Combat fitness test which is going through a small obs course with rifle and webbing and a 15 klm timed march with webbing pack and rifle.
cheers

In the US Army, we do a "2/2/2" test. 2 minutes of push-ups, 2 minutes of sit-ups, and a 2-mile run. Like with your country, there are different standards for each gender. To complete Basic Training you have to pass this test and do something like a 20km road march (supposed to be 18km, but our drill sergeant couldn't navigate worth a damn lol so we did 25km).

USMC is a max set of pullups, 20 being the best, max set of situps in 2min 100 being the best, and a 3mi. run in under 28min w/ 18min being the best. also for us to get into our job school we need to complete 6 road marches. from 3mi. to 15mi. our instructors can navigate

lol touche Milidar. Isn't is funny how the first road march is the hardest?

MilidarUSMC · February 2nd, 2006

lol very true, i think my first march of 3mi. was more like a 3mi run w/ a pack on

Canada:
2.4km in under 10 minutes.
as many pushup's, situp's, and chinup's as you can.
grip test 75kg
Thats just the pre-enrollment test

Basic training involes things like an obstacle course,swimming,marching,running,and field exercises.

MilidarUSMC · February 2nd, 2006

grip test, now thats a new one, interesting though.

ajpigger · February 2nd, 2006

We'd have alot less people in our army if everyone had to do the 2.4 in under 10. Most of us can do it but under 10's a good time. The 8 minute mark is when you know someone can realy run.
