I officially put the new, highly anticipated Ranger School Physical Assessment (RPA 2.0) to the test, and I have to say, it did not disappoint! The Airborne & Ranger Training Brigade is currently working through the process of trialing and implementing the new test. Although they still have to work out the kinks, this is what you can expect!

Ranger school was odd, as the course didn’t really care how fit you were when you went into it, as you were broken down from lack of food and lack of sleep to the point everyone was on the same level. This also makes me wonder how many KZbinrs make a living of off the “Ranger” name while never actually having been in regiment. Being in ranger school with West Point officers and big army dudes made me realize how glad I was to never have to spend time in that pace. The army really should do better job at the distinction of the actual special operations that is Ranger Regiment and the Slog of a school that gives you the Tab.

The Army did this by making Regiment have a selection, SOCOM budgeting, JSOC elements, and CQB training on par with the boys over the fence. The Army knows we’re different. There’s no issue about it. It’s the dorks getting an inflated ego over a tab earned because we had to be hungry and not take a nap for 62 days.

In my opinion I think they should keep the sled weight but lower the distance. In combat scenario the immediate goal is to get to cover and gain fire superiority in order to get to the next level of care. Once basic care is established and I have a clear route to a treatment/evac zone, that person is going in my shoulders.

I did an RPA 2.0 for the first time three days ago at a national gaurd course called Ranger sapper assessment program (RSAP) in the PA guard. It was run by Ranger instructors and some things i want to add in this comment are from my experiences that day. For the graded chin ups, the RI would stand about a foot from me and tell me when to go up or down. He did not count reps that did not go to a dead hang. So i think none or your reps would have counted, also if i swung and touched the RI the rep would not count. For the skedco drag they said their is not a specific way to drag it so most of us put the stap around our torso like a pt belt and dragged it behind us walking forwards. Also the skedco weight is much more distributed and easier to pull then the ACFT sled in my opinion and the nature of the material of the skedco slides much easier with less friction. Even after a one mile run the skedo drag seemed easier then the ACFT drag to me personally.

It will be very interesting to see the final evolution of this. I’m no longer serving but still try my best train to be able do stuff like this. But I’m not sure I’d be able to train to pass this, the run would destroy me.

@@skipbayless5316 I agree that we do need high standards. This I feel at the 27min cut off is pushing right at the limits. All the aspects of the test I think are spot on. Probably moving this to 30min would still be a huge effort. With this having 3 miles of running if you can’t do a 3 mile in I am having a guess of under 21 min in PT kit you will definitely be in the hurt. Just my observation and I’d be interested to try work towards this myself. One thing we used to have for barrier/entry test was 2 mile runs with webbing/patrol order. I liked that we had to wear basic kit at least, sorted out those who were great runners in PT gear but couldn’t work with any load. We had guys running 9min 1.5miles and 12 minute 2 miles who couldn’t run 2 in 16:30 with webbing. But guys who were right at the lower limits for passing in PT gear manage to finish well within the time limit. It all tests different aspects of fitness though.

Hmm, graduated Ranger School in 1989 (14-89); 4 phases (Benning, Mountain, Swamp, Desert). It was a Combat Arms (male only) school at the time. Then sometime in the 1990s the buzz word was it became a “Leadership” school. It sucked then and I am sure it still sucks, But what is this new “Physical” test for a “Leadership” school other than to reduce female applicants. That’s all I see. I have heard rumors that females had/have different (varying) standards compared to the males #(don’t know if this is true or false I did not have females in my class). What ever happened to being able to pass the PT test to go (ok, vast majority of us were maxing it),…but shouldn’t the School Benchmarks weed out those that don’t have the gut, grit, grind, knowledge and ability to complete it. Just appears to be another “added” obstacle focused on the weaker sex to weed them out,…instead of the Actual Army Leadership (Officer and NCO) doing their jobs to ensure the Best are graduating

So in this proposed format, you can 'compensate' certain weak phases of the event with strong phases. What is your opinion on a minimum 'passing' time for each separate phase as well? Unnecessary?

Interacting, I think it would be better to keep it as one continues event though. From a testing and training perspective, it would be easier to grade and easier to train for as a candidate.

Looks like a joke to me. Class 05-88, when things were still hard but winding down. Too easy nowadays. Just like SERE. They had to make it easier so more would pass. Class 07-89. I loved every bit of both.

30 min seems reasonable. 8 min miles in boots comes out to 24 min of running and 6 min to do the other 4 events. In a vacuum it seems too easy with 30 min but the heat takes the life out of you.

Any updates on when RPA 2.0 will be implemented? My son is headed to Ranger School (probably February) and while they are practicing RPA 2.0 at his unit, they've had no word about which RPA (1 or 2) will be used.

Thanks so much,@@GrittySoldier! I really appreciate you taking the time to answer. He scored 600 on his last ACFT, but just barely missed 27 minutes when they did the RPA 2.0 this past week. His observation was that the new RPA 2.0 is a great test of overall fitness, but the time allowed was simply too short. Thankfully his duty station (3rd Infantry Regiment, The Old Guard) permits plenty of time for training, and his leadership really seems to support & encourage soldiers to push themselves as far as they can go. FYI, I subscribe & watch your videos all the time since they help me understand what my son is preparing to do, and what he's doing. Keep up the amazing, fantastic work.

Quick update: my son started RS last Sunday (04-24) and seems to have passed RAP week. No news is goos good news. Based on reports & what he did at RTAC, they did the 'old' RPFT.

Whoever made this test was a tad bit zealous. As some who has programmed WODs, early on in my career, I’d program WODs that were way to fast or complicated for the time standards. This is what the programmer has done. 20% is waaaay to low for a pass rate.

This should be tough. American youth are weak couch potatoes. Set a high bar. Don’t debase the coin of the realm. When I was in second grade in the Soviet Union, I was repping 75 pushups straight every morning at the beginning of the school day. That was on top of 100 sit-ups and ten minutes of jumping jacks. I was weaker than the female gymnasts in the class. I am old now, but I want to give this a shot.
