mission set and assists in the measurement of fitness levels of EOD technicians and therefore does not allow for component exemptions. 1.2.2. The EOD OSPFA is a tool for commanders to assess the current physical fitness status of individual EOD technicians across operationally relevant physical fitness components. EOD units, along with EOD OSPFA Physical Training Leaders (PTLs), may use the EOD OSPFA to develop individual exercise training habits to build and maintain performance-criterion physical fitness, determine physical strengths and weaknesses of individual technicians, and assess EOD team operational capabilities. 1.2.3. The standards in this four-component assessment surpass DoDI 1308.03 and DAFMAN 36-2905 cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, and core endurance component

MARCH 2026 7 1.3. Air Force Physical Fitness Readiness Assessments. 1.3.1. Physical Fitness Readiness Assessment (PFRA). The Air Force PFRA consists of body composition, muscular strength, core endurance, and cardiorespiratory fitness components to measure the effectiveness of PCP. The body composition component is an evidence-based age- agnostic assessment of health risk. The physical fitness components are sex and age specific and occupationally independent with science-based, health, and general fitness standards. 1.3.2. Occupationally Specific Physical Fitness Readiness Assessment (OSPFRA). The OSPFRA is an AFSC occupationally specific, operationally relevant Physical Fitness Assessment with broader physical fitness component requirements. This specific assessment is sex and age neutr

ive trainees on weight and body fat standards, fitness standards, and the physical demands of OTS at least 120 days from class start date when possible. OTS requires DAFMAN 36- 2905 fitness components, as well as marching, lifting, climbing, calisthenics, ruck marching, and expeditionary field training. 7.5.3.2.1. Commissioned officer trainees will accomplish complete OTS physical fitness assessments per DAFMAN 36-2905 during the first week of training. Individuals will not be disenrolled based upon the initial OTS physical fitness assessment results. 7.5.3.2.2. Commissioned officer trainees whose course is less than 42 days, who failed the OTS physical fitness assessment, will re-attempt prior to completion of OTS. This is an officer accessions requirement and failure to meet physical sta

ter a body composition remedial program. Assessments are now bi- annual for all members. All ARC members will test every 12 months. Unit assessments are subject to Installation Commanders discretion. Medically exempt members enter PFRA Hold and Adaptive Fitness Program (AFP). Physical conditioning is required every duty day, and Commander’s responsibilities are outlined within. Physical fitness is the Airman’s responsibility. All components of the Air Force (AF), Regular Air Force (RegAF), Air Force Reserve (AFR), and Air National Guard (ANG) will follow the new assessment and program guidelines. Guidelines for USSF physical fitness requirements can be found in SPFMAN 36-2905. Chapter 1—GENERAL INFORMATION 6 1.1. Overview of Physical Fitness Readiness Program (PFRP). ......................

Airmen authorized to test and complete a PFA with partial exemptions IAW AFMAN 36-2905, the rater will annotate the fitness score as recorded by the fitness management system, followed by a listing of the exempted components. Example: “PFA: 96; Excellent; Exemptions: Cardiorespiratory Fitness.” Evaluators will refer to components as outlined on the fitness assessment: Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Muscular Strength, Core Endurance, and Waist to Height Ratio. 1.4.10.1.4. Airmen assigned to designated combat-related Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSCs), listed in the terms section, will have both their most recent and current Air Force physical fitness assessment and combat field test (CFT) results documented in the mandatory comments section of their evaluation. The CFT score must reflect the off

Airmen must wear the PTG during physical fitness assessments and while participating in organized PT events as designated by the commander. (T-2) Squadron Commanders may authorize the wear of the morale undershirt with all PTG on Fridays. The AFR and ANG commanders may authorize morale undershirt wear with all PTG during weekend drills on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays. In addition, if PTG items are worn during individual or personal PT, the following guidelines apply (exceptions noted): 8.1.3. PTG Jacket. If worn, the jacket will be zipped at least halfway between the waistband and collar. Sleeves will end within 1-inch of the wrist. 8.1.4. T-shirt. 8.1.4.1. Short-sleeved PTG shirt.

When it appears a student may graduate late, notify the student’s home unit as soon as possible. Send an information copy to 19 AF/CCG or AETC/RF, as appropriate. (T-2). 1.11. Physical Training (PT) Program. Students participate in a scheduled PT program according to the appropriate syllabus; AFMAN 36-2905, Air Force Physical Fitness Program. 1.11.1. All SUPT-H students will take the Fitness Assessment (FA) according to AFMAN 36- 2905. (T-2). Students will not graduate, nor be awarded an aviation rating without a current Excellent or Satisfactory score. In addition to the requirements in AFMA

41 AFMAN36-2919 23 MAY 2023 5 Chapter 1 GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1. Overview. All Air Force Airmen must maintain a necessary level of physical fitness to meet the science-based standards of the Air Force Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) in accordance with (IAW) DAFMAN 36-2905. The PFA is designed with health criteria standards to ensure Airmen are present for duty in good health and general fitness. However, the PFA does not account for career field or occupationally-relevant physical fitness requirements. This manual outlines the standards for AFSPECWAR Operator Fitness Test (OFT) under the Air Force’s Occupationally Specific Physical Fitness Assessment (OSPFA) program, formally referred to as the tier 2 test. The standards of the OFT are based on mission-specific, physical duty requiremen
