The U.S. Army's top enlisted soldier said recently that the novel coronavirus pandemic will be only a temporary hurdle to the service transitioning to the new Army Combat Fitness Test. The highly contagious virus forced the Army to put all physical fitness testing on hold in March, but the service is working to adjust its plan for replacing the current three-event Army Physical Fitness Test with the more challenging six-event ACFT, Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Grinston said in a recent news release. Grinston said the ACFT events — as well as the APFT events — can be performed and graded while COVID-19 protocols are still in effect.
