If this is the case (next summer being for practice), everyone involved in any Army Program (Academy, AROTC, Enlisted) probably needs to prepare well for the ACFT. Cadets at WP were told training would start soon on helping cadets prepare and pass the ACFT, and that anyone who commissions after implementation (Oct 2020) will need to pass the ACFT, to commission and probably pass it again every year or two thereafter. According to the Army, even if you pass the APFT test next summer, you will be tested for the ACFT come October, so be ready!
