In October 2019, the Army implemented its new Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) which made the prior Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) obsolete. For retention and commissioning the ACFT will be the test of record for contracted Cadets. Cadets will be required to take an ACFT at least once a semester or quarter. Cadets commissioning will need to complete an ACFT at least 120 days before graduation. Currently no administrative action will be taken against Cadets that fail an ACFT, they just need to complete it. Cadets will be allowed to commission as long as they meet all the other appointment criteria outlined in USACC Regulation 145-9 and CC Form 145-5-1 (USACC Appointment Checklist).
