| Milites Gregarius | Post; Basic Fitness AssesmentJust 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 |

| Centurion | 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).

| Milites Gregarius | 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. |
