The new measurement of fitness will comprise the following events, with students wearing the standard Army Combat Uniform and boots, within 14 minutes:
800-meter run
30 dead-stop push-ups
100-meter sprint
An event in which students lift 16 40-pound sandbags onto a 68-inch platform
50-meter farmer's carry consisting of two five-gallon water cans weighing 40 pounds each
50-meter movement drill consisting of a 25-meter high crawl and 25-meter 3-5 second rush
Another 800-meter run
Once those events are complete, students will change into their physical fitness uniform and run four miles within 32 minutes. After the run, soldiers will perform six chin-ups.

I like it -- seems the events mimic actual physical activities a Ranger may have to perform vice the standard push-up, sit-up run APFT

I think it is phenomenal...test on what a ranger actually does everyday...and I am glad we have people that embrace the suck everyday like that...even the Air Force is changing its standards based on duties...our spec ops guys won't change but things like firefighters...their fitness standards will include hose drags, fireman's carries up and down stairs, ladder lifts...all while wearing full gear. Makes sense to me.
