How will the new APFT work with current profiles and the 6 events?

Thank you for asking this question, because some people “dedicating a little bit of effort to researching this topic” can now refer to this post when doing so

Currently, the upcoming Army Combat Fitness Test (not APFT) is not being geared for alternate events. There is a plan to see that if during this year of testing before it goes officially live in 2020 that alternate events should be incorporated. But, I wouldn't really hold any breaths on that aspect. Currently, I have a permanent profile for running so I do the alternate cardio. But, since I am not holding out on getting an alternate event for the new system, I am currently working on getting my run up to par (or better). Those that currently have alternate events or events that are eliminated due to physical injuries, but are still deployable based on current standards, had better start planning on getting able to do those events or get ready to exit the door. Yes it sucks. Yes, the Army will be losing people. But it's the nature of the beast and the business we're in. We don't have to like it, but we do have to cut the mustard or pack our bags.

Look, the service is not stupid, this idea has been reviewed several years. When it finally comes out completely, there will be the standard alternate events depending on the profile, like always.
