CFT
From ARRSEpedia
The CFT or Combat Fitness Test involves an eight mile march (three of which must be off road) in under 1 hr 50 minutes carrying a full combat load including weapon and helmet.
Total weight carried must be at least 15kgs (support arms), or 25kg (infantry).
There were/are some rather bizarre so called 'Representative Military Tasks' which should also be completed after the march to pass, these were:
- Climb into the back of a four-tonner unaided.
- 50 meter fireman's lift in ?? seconds.
- Jump a ditch?
