The current goal is to complete the entire test in 50 minutes, from start to finish. With a range of 3 to 5 minutes rest between events, except the last one, which is I believe 10 minutes before the run.
I am currently in, and I fail to see how this can be logistically executed, at least compared to the current APFT.
This next year is supposed to be where they develop the point scale for units. The idea is that either by MOS or unit type, different scores will be the minimum.
Instead of having two different scales for gender, there is suggested to be one. Speculation is that minimum points by gender MAY be different. But the other theory is how the point scale will pan out, is that females are usually in support units and the such and the minimum standards in those will be more in-line with what is achievable by women, so men may have a much easier time passing in such a unit. Whereas a combat unit, the minimum will be much higher, therefore if a female can score high enough on the same scale, then “Ranger up”.

I agree...tbis is going to be resource intensive. How many sets of equipment is a company or battalion get? That’s a lot of Crap to deploy with that takes up space that could be filled with other warfighting equipment and materials.
Great Video!
