a. PT in BCT/OSUT/AIT is conducted IAW FM 7-22. The objective of APRT is to train Soldiers to meet the
physical requirements for graduation from IET, prepare them to meet the demands for their military duties and limit
injuries while instilling confidence in their ability to successfully perform and reach the fullest extent of their potential.

b. Command presence at PRT will emphasize its importance. Leaders must emphasize the value of PT by clearly
explaining the objectives and benefits of their program, and ensuring the time allotted for PRT is used effectively.

c. The role of the DS/AIT PSG remains to instill maximum motivation among all IET Soldiers, to achieve their full
physical potential. The training program will enable the DS/AIT PSG to execute a standardized training approach that
emphasizes progressive conditioning of the Soldier’s entire body. This supports the transformation process. Soldiers
must meet the established standard set forth in AR 350-1, paragraph 1-21 and this regulation (for example, 50 points in
each event for BCT, and 60 points in each event for AIT and OSUT upon graduation). Passing rates, not average
scores, support the overall objective of IET injury control. PRT sessions are conducted maintaining Soldier to cadre
ratios to ensure proper execution. One cadre member will lead and perform the exercises with the Soldiers to monitor
the intensity level and provide a role model. Remaining cadre members will act as assistant instructors and make onthe-spot corrections.

Assessment and testing
>
>
a. BCT. Administer the record APFT during the last two weeks of training to determine if the Soldier has achieved
the APFT requirement for graduation (50 points per event; 150 minimum total points).
>
>
b. OSUT. Administer the record APFT within the last two weeks of training. Soldiers who cannot complete the
final APFT due to a temporary medical profile, and have successfully completed a diagnostic test with a score of 60
points in each of the three events (on the same test; total 180 points or higher) are given constructive credit for having
passed the APFT requirement. Commanders have the authority to award credit to Soldiers passing the diagnostic
APFT based on the Soldiers performance and recommendation from the chain of command.

c. AIT.
>
>
(1) Administer diagnostic APFT at least once a month through the 20th week of training. Phase V+ Soldiers
that have met the APFT standards for graduation will take the APFT IAW

(2) Administer the record APFT NLT the last two weeks of training, to determine if the Soldier has achieved
the APFT standard for graduation (60 points per event; 180 minimum total points). Soldiers who cannot complete the
final APFT due to a temporary medical profile and have successfully completed a diagnostic APFT during AIT (scored
60 points minimum on each of the three events on the same test) are given credit for having passed the APFT
requirement. Commanders have the authority to award credit to Soldiers passing the diagnostic APFT based on the
Soldier’s performance and recommendation from the chain of command.
