Independent Review of the Army Combat Fitness Test: Summary of Key Findings and Recommendations : RAND Corporation , 2022
From the summary: "The Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) is a six-event fitness test designed by the U.S. Army Center for Initial Military Training as a replacement for the Army’s long-standing Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT). The two tests are different in several ways. The APFT contained three events: push-ups, sit-ups, and a two-mile run. The ACFT has been expanded to six events: maximum deadlift, standing power throw, hand release push-up, sprint-drag-carry, leg tuck or plank (soldier chooses one), and a two-mile run. The tests are scored differently, and the ACFT has been designed to achieve a broad set of purposes: ensuring the physical fitness needed for combat, reducing preventable injuries, and transforming Army fitness culture."
