This United States Army manual, Army Techniques Publication ATP 7-22.01 Holistic Health and Fitness Testing October 2020, 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), and Combat Water Survival Test (CWST).
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 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.
This publication prescribes DA Form 705 (Army Combat Fitness Test Scorecard) and DA Form 7888 (Occupational Physical Assessment Test Scorecard). This doctrine and the regulations that support it apply to the Active Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated.
