US army halts gender neutral fitness test as women struggle

13 Mar, 2021 02:28 AM

The US army is considering scrapping its new gender neutral fitness test because women have been failing in much larger numbers than men.

Research showed that the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), which is the same for male and female soldiers, was leading to lower results for women with a knock-on effect for promotions.

An early Pentagon study showed women were failing the ACFT at a rate of 65 per cent, compared with 10 per cent for men. Congress has halted implementation of the new test and the army has begun an independent review into whether it is fair. It has been suggested that the standard test could be evaluated differently for men and women.

The test includes six events - a maximum deadlift, a standing power throw, hand-release push-ups, a sprint, drag and carry, leg tuck, and a two-mile run. Those taking it must score at least 360 points out of a possible 600, and those who achieve higher scores are more likely to be promoted.

• Trump's last day: 12 National Guards removed from Joe Biden inauguration due to far-right links

• US warns of military response to rocket attack on Iraq base

However, average scores for women so far are said to have been 100 points lower.

Congress has now declared that the test in its current form should not be a factor in deciding whether someone gets promoted. Expected changes include how core body strength is tested in the leg tuck. Instead of hanging from a bar and tucking legs to their chest, soldiers will instead be given the option of doing a two-minute plank exercise. Early research showed female soldiers' scores improved with the plank option.

Last month, an army official said a possible solution for the gulf in test scores was using "gender-specific" percentile groupings when considering promotions. Rather than using their raw scores, men and women would separately be categorised in the top 1 per cent, top 10 per cent, and so on.

An army officer told Military.com: "We have to figure out a way to make it fair to both genders."

All US soldiers have been able to take the new test since October, but it will not count towards promotions until March 2022.

Maybe in the Chair Force, but in the Army everyone needs to be able to fight. The cook needs to be a blessing to grab a rifle and fight in a pinch. The army band second mission for example is to defend and then self-destruct their brigade headquarters when overrun.

Vegetius on the late Roman Empire’s army:

“…it is plain the infantry are entirely defenceless. From the foundation of the city till the reign of the Emperor Gratian, the foot wore cuirasses and helmets. But negligence and sloth having by degrees introduced a total relaxation of discipline, the soldiers began to think their armour too heavy, as they seldom put it on. They first requested leave from the Emperor to lay aside the cuirass and afterwards the helmet. In consequence of this, our troops in their engagements with the Goths were often overwhelmed with their showers of arrows.” - excerpt from De Re Militari (Latin for: "Concerning Military Matters").

“An alternative proposal involves adding other components to the exam that would be likely to equalize scores among the male and female participants. While eventually scrapped, female soldiers performed strongly on contemplated test sections such as ‘Hitting the Curb with a New Vehicle’ and ‘Asking how Many Drinks You Plan on Having Tonight.’ Some advocates feel that including these and other measurements in the final version of the test would help ensure continued domination on the battlefield for generations to come.”

The funny thing is, men and women generally do about the same on the timed sit-up event. But now they swapped it for some weird hanging bar spasm event. Bizarre.

The 3rm deadlift is also interesting. Same standards regardless of body weight. 250 pound dude is going to sail through, but I guess he’ll be puffing on the run.

I'm appalled by the lowering of standards and by the idea of allowing women in combat units. So don't take this as criticism of the leg tuck exercise. But doing pull ups or pull up-esque exercises like that is really, really hard. When I first decided I wanted to do pull ups, it took me four months of training on the assisted pull up machine before I could do one. After years of training, I can only do 15 in one set.

Sex is socially constructed. No, I don't mean gender. We obviously need to play different word games, kill the patriarchy, or probably both. Then women will pass at the same rate as men.

Oh, by the way, they have a backup position. Physical fitness was never about war fighting preparedness. It was always about encouraging fitness that would reduce the cost of medical care and sick days (which will piss of the fat acceptance people). So it doesn't matter if the standards are different. They just need to encourage good health.

I don't remember the details of the navy boot camp physical fitness test that I went through in orlando about 45 years ago, other than we ran about a mile or something like that, timed, some pushups, and we had to do a number of pullups, and there was some sort of obstacle test....jumping over tires and swinging on ropes....lots of fun to be had...totally fun stuff for teenage doods...

no leg tuck test, as I recall...wtf is that?

there were however a couple of guys who had problems with the pullups, as i recall... I don't remember whether they had to drop back in training for a few weeks in order to get through the test...

there were zero noticeably fat guys in the navy boot camp back in the seventies...well, one guy was a little plump in my boot camp section...

but everyone else was more or less in shape back then...of course the fitness test was performed near the end of the two-month boot camp anyway, and in order to get through the boot camp, you had to get through two months of almost daily marching and drill exercises carrying a Enfield rifle that had the barrel filled with lead...in the orlando summer heat...

I was actually in the best shape of my life at the end of the navy boot camp...could dunk a basketball...

the females were completely separate from the men in navy boot camp, so I have no idea how they did...

Real problem for women in the service is all the major militaries are moving up to larger caliber rounds to get around ever better body armor. Even a faggot round like the new 6.8mm which only has 20-25% more recoil over the 5.56 will create problems for chicks but in the case of the 6.8 the real issue is it will make already heavy packs even heavier.
