The Combat Fitness Test (CFT) is a semi-annual physical fitness test of the United States Marine Corps. The purpose of the CFT is to assess a Marine’s physical capacity in a broad spectrum of combat related tasks. The CFT was specifically designed to evaluate strength, stamina, agility, and coordination as well as overall anaerobic capacity. The CFT is a complement to the USMC Physical Fitness Test and measures the functional elements of combat fitness through execution of a series of events that represent every Marine’s combat experience, emphasizing the ethos of “every Marine is a rifleman.” All active duty and reserve Marines are required to conduct the Combat Fitness Test every year between the dates 1st July to 1st January. The test is designed to test each Marine's ability to perform in a high-intensity setting. The British Army formerly used a test of the same name which is currently known as the Annual Fitness Test.
