Introduction Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) is the renewed approach that will replace the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) to attain more comprehensive results. ACFT is aimed to more precisely reflect the full range of fitness essential for training and combat. The combat fitness test was developed within the study of army researchers, who identified the events that were the most reliable indicators of successful performance that covers army-related tasks. The new Army Combat Fitness Test will be implemented by October 2020 and is considered as a better concept to forecast a soldier’s readiness for the pressure one will encounter on the modern battlefield. The ACFT Framework The ACFT is based upon detailed scientific research and was previously exposed to several revisions. It is more likely to be applied in three phases, with the Initial Operating Capability (IOC) as the first phase. The new army test challenges soldiers to perform a 3-repetition maximum deadlift with a hex bar as part of the six events ACFT set. According to Poser, Trautman, Dicks, Christensen, Lyman, & Hackney (2019), the ACFT is aimed at “testing soldiers’ muscular strength, muscular endurance, muscular power, agility, anaerobic capacity, and aerobic endurance” (p. 409). As such, the ACFT’s six events are conducted in order and involve “three-repetition-maximum deadlift, standing power throw, hand-release push-ups, sprint-drag-carry, leg tuck, and 2-mile run” (Bigelman, East, Thomas, Turner, & Hertling, 2019, p. 1772). In addition, the ACFT standards are designed for every soldier, regardless of age or gender. The combat fitness testing excludes any exceptions for its sequence and currently has no alternative tests or test events. As stated in the U.S. army ACFT field testing manual (2018), the test record is expected to be completed in 70 minutes or less for two platoons of soldiers with 16 lanes. During the first phase, IOC-Field Testing, the soldiers will be tested within two protocols, such as groups of two and groups of four. All six events have to be completed so that the ACFT can be classified as a valid test. The FM 7-22 Preparation Drill and 3 Repetition Maximum Deadlift warm-up are created to prepare soldiers before the beginning of the first test event. Poser et al. (2019) suggest the following training for the military personnel to prepare for the deadlift, including “squat variations, lunge variations, and explosive lower body exercise such as power jump or tuck jump” (p. 409). Soldiers are further expected to accomplish the MDL test event that is later followed by the master continuous clock. It assures that each of the test events is completed with the minimum amount of rest and fully executed within 70 minutes. There is a possibility for the retesting that can be individually administered and scored. The Issues within the ACFT and its Significance Considering that the isometric deadlift protocol’s association with the imitated evacuation of casualty is under its formulation, it undoubtedly promotes the use of the deadlift within the ACFT. The maximum isometric intensity of the deadlift facilitates some benefits for field-testing due to its mobility and secure storage, as well as a small amount of tim
