46 push ups in 2 mins
6 mile run
it’s a joke for a special forces unit and I can only surmise that they have made ranger school easier.
PT test is easy, I dont’ deny that. They score you on perfect form for push-ups however, so people generally do less at Ranger school than they do back in their units. Ranger school is way more than just 70 percent on the APFT though. Most soldiers are afforded every opportunity to pass, while being able to retest on patrols etc. I saw the most get dropped on the swim test. After that. injury plays a big part.
If enough to make it through main phase Ranger School the Army will just “deem them” passed the next go-round.
Ranger School is never considered ‘Special Forces’. It is merely a combat school. The physical requirements are minimal, nor is the school considered the hardest. Most of problems occur during the patroling and other requirements throughout the school.
