Question
Looking for clarification on the frequency that AGRs are required to complete an ACFT.
AR 350-1 mandated that "Soldiers must take a record APFT every 6 months for RA and AGR Soldiers" but AD 2022-05 states the following:
Army
Directive 2022-05 states that "Frequency. Beginning 1 October 2022,
RA/USAR (AGR) Soldiers will take two record ACFTs per calendar year,
with no less than 4 months between record tests.
RC Soldiers (less
USAR (AGR)) will take the ACFT once per calendar year for record, with
no less than 8 months between record tests"
If this is true, can a Soldier take a record ACFT 1 March 2023 (pass), and then complete another November of 2023 (pass) and still remain in compliance?
Some folks are saying that the 6 month rule from 350-1 is still a requirement but I think otherwise.
Answer
I believe the answer you're looking for is in Army Directive 2022-05 paras 4 and 5.
"4. Policy. Starting 1 April 2022, the ACFT will begin to be implemented as the Army’s official record physical fitness test for personnel actions. References 1b and 1c are hereby rescinded. Where this policy conflicts with any other previously published procedural guidance, this directive is controlling. ACFT policies for pregnant and postpartum Soldiers will be published separately."
"5. Proponent. The DCS, G-3/5/7 is the proponent for this policy and will incorporate its provisions in AR 350–1 within 2 years of the date of this directive. In coordination with the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower and Reserve Affairs), the DCS, G-1 will issue additional implementation guidance as applicable."
Based on that, the Soldier would still be in compliance.
