<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>A commander may administer an APFT and/or conduct a weigh-in the first day you arrive at a unit. This policy is in AR 350-1 and AR 600-9 (Below).<br /><br />Commanders should provide newly assigned Soldiers, and those returning from extended deployments 90-days before administering a record APFT.<br /><br />FM 7-22, 4-27, states, New Soldiers need to train in the unit for 90 days before PRT leaders or AIs assess the Soldiers&#39; fitness levels. This timeframe allows them to acclimatize, assimilate into a unit PRT program, and adapt physiologically and psychologically. Note that the FM is doctrine, not policy.<br />FM 7-22 6-5. Prolonged Deployment. Soldiers need at least 90 days post-deployment to retrain and prepare for <br />the APFT or unit physical readiness goal. This is doctrine, and it is established in policy in AR 350-1.<br />AR 600-9. 2–14. Individuals.<br />Each Soldier (commissioned officer, warrant officer, and enlisted) is responsible for meeting the standards prescribed in this regulation.<br /><br />AR 600-9. 2–16. Commanders and supervisors<br />Commanders and supervisors (Active Army and Reserve Component (RC)) will—<br />a. Implement the ABCP, to include evaluation of the military appearance of all Soldiers under their jurisdiction and<br />measurement of body fat as prescribed in this regulation.<br />b. Ensure the continued evaluation of all Soldiers under their command or supervision against the body fat standards<br />prescribed in this regulation.<br />AR 600-9. 3–4. Weigh-in and body fat assessment<br />a. Weigh-ins and body fat assessments will be conducted in accordance with appendix B. All Soldiers will be weighed every 6 months, at a minimum.<br />b. In order to ensure the ABCP does not interfere with Soldier performance on the APFT, commanders and supervisors are encouraged to allow a minimum of 7 days between APFT and weigh-in, if feasible. Some Soldiers that are close to exceeding the screening weight may attempt to lose weight quickly in the days leading up to a weigh-in. This practice may result in the Soldier being unable to perform his or her best on the APFT, if the two events are scheduled close together.<br /><br /><br />AR 350-1 F-5 . ...Accordingly, all Soldiers (RA and RC) must be able to pass the APFT at any time, except upon return from deployment. Soldiers will be administered a record APFT no earlier than 90 days following redeployment.<br />F-5 l. (1) Commanders may administer the APFT as often as they wish; however, they must specify beforehand when the <br />APFT is for record. RA and AGR Soldiers will take a record APFT twice each calendar year, all other USAR and ARNG Soldiers will take a record APFT annually. A minimum of 4 months will separate record tests for RA and AGR. The 4-month rule does not apply to Soldiers that must make-up a record test or retesting for an APFT failure.
