Take the quizAbout this CFT estimate
The Combat Fitness Test (CFT) measures more functional, combat-relevant movements than the PFT: an 880-yard movement-to-contact run, ammo can lifts for muscular endurance, and a maneuver-under-fire obstacle course.
Because the maneuver-under-fire course involves complex movement patterns rather than a single measurable rep count, this calculator's estimate for that event is the roughest of the three.
Where these numbers come from
The formulas and default values in this calculator are based on:
- General Marine Corps CFT event structure (movement to contact, ammunition can lifts, maneuver under fire)
- scoring bands here are simplified approximations
These are planning estimates for training purposes. Check with a coach, trainer, or physician before starting a new program or maxing out.
Frequently asked questions
What is the maneuver-under-fire event?
It's a timed course combining sprints, buddy carries, crawls, ammo can carries, and other combat-relevant movements, run against the clock.
How is CFT different from PFT?
CFT emphasizes functional, combat-specific movement; PFT emphasizes general strength and endurance (pull-ups or push-ups, plank, distance run).
Are both tests required?
Marines are typically tested on both the PFT and CFT as part of overall fitness requirements, on separate testing occasions.
