The U.S. Army formalized equal fitness standards between men and women in combat roles in new guidelines released Monday.
The new Army Fitness Test (AFT), formally the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), will not have separate standards for men and women in combat Military Occupational Specialties (MOS), according to the Army. The new standards will begin the first stage of implementation on June 1 with a projected completion by January 2026.

This is the third try that I know about and the second on MOS based fitness levels. If you want to claim treating everyone equal, the same standard need to be applied. This has got the Administrations blessing, but I'm old and cynical and will wait and see.

A single standard is good, but I would also caution that fitness should not be the sole metric used as a discriminator to evaluate soldiers/leaders.

It certainly should not be the sole metric, but given the nature of the job, perhaps it should be the first metric.
