Royal Marines Fitness Tests ROYAL MARINES ADVANCED COMBAT FITNESS TESTS (RM ACFT) 1 The aim of the RM ACFT is to measure the physical fitness of individuals serving in 3 Cdo Bde RM in a manner which specifically accounts for role and operational readiness, by using tests which reflect operational demands. 2 The RM ACFT may be taken by all ranks under the age of 50 serving or attached to 3 Cdo Bde RM to ensure a minimum level of interoperability. However, Commanders may consider using a targeted approach by only testing those elements that require higher levels of combat fitness for their operational role. This targeted approach will maximise the benefits while reducing the risk of injury. 3 The RM ACFT tests individuals by measuring critical fitness components, using additional Representative Military Tests (RMT) not adequately covered in the RM CFT or RM APFA. In order that Commanders can better match the demands of the test to the role of their unit there are two types of test. They are: RM ACFT (1) based on the physical demands associated with operating in a urban environment where high levels of aerobic power (speed) are required RM ACFT (2) based on the physical demands associated with operating in a rural environments where high levels of aerobic capacity (endurance) and load carrying ability (Muscular strength/endurance) are required. RM Advanced Combat Fitness Test 4 Commanders may wish to use the tests as part of a pre-deployment training package, alternatively, in order to meet specific operational requirements, it may be that units receive direction to conduct the RM APFA and RM ACFT. 5 The fitness components assessed are aerobic power, aerobic capacity, anaerobic muscular endurance, muscular strength and combat agility. Commanders are to ensure that training for these tests is progressive and that no individual undertakes the tests without adequate preparation. 57
