Which statement about the AFT is true?

• A. It includes a 5,000-meter row as an aerobic event
• B. It is not related to Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills
• C. It tests only mental readiness
• D. It is performed in a single event

Answer: (A)

The AFT is a multi-component test of Soldier readiness that includes an aerobic portion to gauge cardiovascular endurance. The 5,000-meter row is included as that aerobic event because it provides a controlled, sustained workload that challenges the heart and lungs over a fixed distance, yielding a clear measure of endurance across test-takers. Therefore, including a 5,000-meter row as the aerobic part makes that statement true. The AFT isn’t about mental aptitude alone, nor is it a single-event test; and it connects to Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills as part of the broader readiness framework, not something unrelated.
