According to an article this morning on the Army's official website, Army.mil, a determination has been made that the current 3 event Army Physical Fitness Test will be retained for the forseeable future. While a new 5 event APFT has been extensively tested for the past year, and many felt that a switch to the new test was imminent, TRADOC has determined that "implementing changes to how the Army assesses physical fitness would be premature." Rather, the Army will initiate a new study to determine the best measure of baseline fitness.
