IMO, as a base level measurement tool, the 3 event APFT works. It’s not perfect but no program would be for every command or individual. For us, it won't measure other areas of concern such as an ability to hump a heavy ruck 20 miles as a timed event but, for events like that WE make our own standards because we have a higher standard than the rest of the Army.
Other training requirements such as swimming, weight training, or sprints in combat load should continue to be as directed from the individual Company or ODA PT programs, and or an individual’s personal program as needed.
