ATP 7-22.01 Holistic Health and Fitness Testing (2022. 8. 1.)

Description

*ATP 7-22.01, Holistic Health and Fitness Testing, comprises the Army’s physical testing doctrine and is a companion to the physical readiness domain described in FM 7-22, Holistic Health and Fitness, and ATP 7-22.02, Holistic Health and Fitness Drills and Exercises. This publication establishes physical fitness test administration and evaluation procedures for the Occupational Physical Assessment Test (OPAT), Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), Combat Water Survival Test (CWST), and Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT).

The OPAT certifies that Army recruits are physically ready to begin initial entry training. The ACFT measures a Soldier’s physical ability to execute combat-related tasks. The ACFT validates the Soldier’s and unit’s physical readiness training; it demonstrates how effectively that training prepares Soldiers for the physical tasks that every Soldier has to be ready to perform. The CWST certifies that Soldiers have the ability to operate in and around water and maritime environments. The APFT is the legacy test used to validate Soldier physical readiness until it is phased out with full implementation of the ACFT.

The principal audience for this doctrine is leaders at all organizational levels. All leaders are trainers. Leaders include officers, warrant officers, noncommissioned officers, and those Department of the Army (DA) Civilians in leadership positions. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this publication.

Commanders, staffs, and subordinates at all levels ensure that holistic health and fitness (H2F) testing is properly administered in accordance with requirements outlined in this publication. Commanders, staffs, and subordinates ensure that their decisions and actions comply with applicable United States, international, and in some cases host-nation laws and regulations. Commanders at all levels ensure that their Soldiers operate in accordance with the law of war and the rules of engagement. (See FM 6-27/MCTP 11-10C.)
