Canadian Armed Forces Physical Fitness Test

The FORCE Evaluation consists of four separate evaluation components designed to elicit and measure different physical capabilities. There is one minimum standard for all CAF members. The evaluation components are:
20 m Rushes: Starting from the prone position, complete two shuttle sprints (1 shuttle = 20 m there, 20 m back) dropping to the prone position every 10 m for a total of 80 m. To be completed in less than 51 seconds.
Sandbag Lift: 30 consecutive lifts of a 20 kg sandbag from the floor to a height of 1 m. The member alternates between left and right sandbags separated by 1.25 m. To be completed in 3 minutes and 30 seconds or less;
Intermittent Loaded Shuttles: 10 consecutive shuttles (1 shuttle = 20 m there, 20 m back), alternating between loaded shuttles with a 20 kg sandbag and unloaded shuttles, totaling 400 m. To be completed in 5 minutes and 21 seconds or less;
Sandbag Drag: Carry one 20 kg sandbag and pull a minimum of four on the floor over 20 m without stopping. Number of sandbags being dragged depends on the type of floor.
Good Luck and You can do it!

2023 Update. Ok. So I did both this Force Test and the Combat Force Test and I have feedback to provide if you want. Even if it helps one person, my job is done. 1) Prep I don't care if you're a special forces tier 1 unit operator or a national athlete. This test/workout is literally designed to get you panting and sweating. It's not that the motions and exercises themselves are hard. It's that these excersies are back to back and UNDER TIME. Which increases the pressure. BUT RELAX, I got some tricks and tips for you. Listen in. Prepare before the test obviously, but I don't mean lift weights or workout heavy. This is an endurance test. So get your stamina up. Replicate these exercises and try and chop down the times. So that on the day of the test, it's not your first time doing it. Trust me. I've done that. It will kick your ass. Even if you're a damn PT stud. 2) Nutrition Don't be an idiot. Don't eat alot before the test. Some do and they end up yaking it all out. Drink water. BRING ELECTROLYTES Eat a Banana or two an hour or two before the test. Trust me. Many have cramps on this test and that is not fun. You don't wanna be that guy. I've been there, others have been there. And its just not a good time. Learn from our dumbass mistakes. 3) Timing Ok. So, if it's your first time, you can ask the moderator or instructor to give you a half count. Meaning, when the clock hits halfway for an exercise (this excludes the drag). Your instructor can shout that out and it gives you a good basis. This is important, it can help calm you or speed you up. You might get this request rejected. Ask another candidate to do it. It's not against the rules. 4) Sequence Ok, so if you get the opportunity, strategize your sequence of the 4 exercises. Meaning: Do the Shuttle Rushes first. Then the Sand Bag lifts Then the Drag And finally the Loaded Shuttles My guys found this to be the easiest sequence. You want your power at the start and then close off with the 5:20 min exercise at the end. 5) The Shuttle Rushes If you're someone who gets dizzy easily or has poor coordination on your feet. Don't do this one first. Fit it in the middle 2nd or 3rd There's alot of spinning and up and down and I've seen people land on their face. 6) Sand Bag lifts Dude. SLOW DOWN. Everyone rushes the heck out of these. Unless you're trying to hit a PR. Slow down. You have tons of time. 3:00 mins is alot of time. That's about 5 seconds each. We tested this by doing 5 seconds between each lift and still passed. Slow down. You still have other relays to complete. 7) Sandbag Drag Don't look back. The area is cordened off and clear. It's human nature to look back when walking backward. Avoid this. You're just twisting your body into a judo throw with the damn sandbag. Just pull... Consistent rate. 8) Loaded Shuttles This feels like forever. But once you actually get started it's easy. You can literally jog on this one and you'll still make time. But put out, this one is the only exercise that takes into account your waist ratio measurement (They do this at the start of the test) . There's a reason for that. Doing this one last is a bit of a suck. You're tired, going in circles. Never ending. But just start and before you know it, you're set. They will prompt you to sprint on each relay (unloaded). You can, but tbh it's not necessary. And that's it. The combat fitness test is harder. It involves you in all your battle rattle and a ruck. But you can build up to it. Just add one piece of equipment on at a time and do this force exercises regularly. 9) Recover and Personal After Action Report Take a picture of the damn paper once you've done the test. You DO NOT want to do this again due to lost paperwork. Ask me how I know. Record your timing in a journal. Heck, use it for personal workouts. Find the weakest number and attack it head on. Yeah you're good at shuttles big woop. Can you do 40-50 sandbag lifts now in the same 3 minutes? Exactly. And that's it. Hope this helps. Go Without Fear.

[@myckv419]

Did the force test this morning after 4 years of recovery of an injury. I struggled a lot, but passed. if you get to that mental state where you just tell yourself you will make it through then you will. You have to pace yourself and keep going. My body failed me a couple of times, I have scratches on my knee, I threw up in my mask (had to wear it inbetween the stations) but I never stopped. At the end, I made pretty good timings. If I was able to do it only 3 months after a surgery, you can do it. Work on your legs, your core, your cardio and you’ll succeed.

Passed this two hours ago, applying for signals officer. It's not so bad; it will take alot more if one doesn't do any practice, but I do 50 pushups in the morning and a jog for about a mile every day and I got through. 1:26 on the bag lift so I'm decently happy with myself there, bag drag is more of an initial shock but once you get it moving it's pretty relaxed. the sprint will be the most challenging, our floor was bloody slippery so a little more to stop than anything. One guy was DQ'd on that.. and the intermittent is.. not hard at all provided you can carry a toddler. Good luck everyone!

I'd reccomend getting a job at McDonalds. Seriously. Especially if you live in a big city - pick the busiest McDonalds. I say this because McDonalds has a good training program so you should feel properly equipped for the job. On top of that they teach their managers to micromanage. You will be watched constantly at work between customers and managers and usually the managers are constantly telling you what to do and how to do it. It's a silly idea if you are an adult with a regular job - but I find starting a new unfamiliar job has always helped me learn to work in new environments. Especially if you can find a business that micromanages and has multiple supervisors on the floor. If you are young i think this advice Is even easier to take. try to stick with big companys that have lots of customer interaction so you can push yourself out of your comfort zone. If it's too stressfull do it part time untill you become more comfortable with your co workers. This is exactly how i developed confidence and lost that nervous shyness that I had as a teen.

[@JohnHill-qo3hb]

I was shy when I joined about 44 years ago, took me about two weeks to get over it, you'll do fine, just remember to give everything a good honest effort, that is the key, effort, slackers don't make it much past recruit training. If you want it, you shall get it, good luck. Another thing, always make yourself available to take on responsibility, even if it is being the leader of of a bunch of folks pushing brooms, just don't be bossy.

The drag is easy for tall people. You can use height and leverage to your advantage. Short skinny people will find it very difficult.

[@SuperVarunan]

Doug Larose also, try to hold the sandbag up as high/close to your chest as you can, it feels harder initially but it makes the drag alot easier in the long run, and also don't go all out at the beginning no matter how easy it feels, no one cares about the time it takes to complete it so that's not an issue

universality of the Canadian forces creates a very minimal amount of physical fitness required in the forces ,but they had the mentality no matter what trade you had to consider that your an infantry man first and each trade requires physical fitness beyond there testing they don't tell you that like example being on a tank you have to have the upper body strength to handle the ammunition infantry men have to have the running endurance so you need to realise that just being at the bare minimum isn't enough

Well I passed and it's best to prepare. It includes a 40m dash and every 20m you stop and put you're foot on a line and get on your stomach and raise you're hand and so on and so forth. Second test. Is sand bag lifts. 40 pounds a sandbag. You have to pick it up and put it on the wall and let it drop. Do that 30 times. Third test. You put a sandbag on you're shoulder and walk 40m and then back the 40m and then run it wihout the sandbag. You do that 5 times. Then you have a bunch of sandbags tied together weighing about 240 pounds including the sandbag in you're arms. You drag it backwards 40m without stopping.once you complete that. Congrats you passed. They time you all on this. Don't worry they give you 10 minute breaks between each exercise. Good luck brother. Let me know how it goes

Is this the only physical requirement? No pushups and pullups?

Push ups are required when you get to basic. Not at this level. You should aim to be able to do sets of 30+ push ups.

[@modmaliCrtzGang]

@@AmberlynWhite what about pull ups? Thanks for responding by the way. ❤️

[@shawn576]

They had to dramatically lower the standards because the military is such a gong show. The average time to get accepted into the military is 6 MONTHS. By that point, most people have already found another job.

[@jonathandpg6115]

Shawn Smith 6 months isnt that long.....some jobs are longer. they have enough applicants not to worry and enough steps things dont get done by magic

[@lawrence198169]

Shawn Smith I sent an application in last month and they said once all the paperwork is in they'll process it then I'll do the testing, interview and medical within a couple weeks and by October or November I could be sworn in, if all goes well of course
