Can a soldier take a record AFT on a temporary profile?

The active DA Form 3349 and the profiling provider control what training and testing a Soldier may perform. A temporary profile should not be converted into permanent-profile scoring assumptions by this calculator.

How do promotion boards evaluate an AFT score with profiled events?

For promotion-score treatment, a waived event or passed alternate aerobic event is entered as 60 points while each performed event keeps its actual score. Combat-standard compliance is a separate check based on the events the Soldier can perform.

What is the maximum duration for a profile before an MEB review?

Profile duration and medical-retention referral decisions depend on the condition, profile history and current medical rules. DA Form 3349 and the Soldier's profiling provider are the controlling sources; this calculator does not determine MEB referral eligibility.

AFT Profile & Exemption Calculator — Medical Profile Scoring

Use this Army AFT profile calculator to check permanent-profile event requirements, an authorized alternate aerobic event, and General or Combat standard compliance. It also shows the 500-point promotion composite created by keeping actual performed-event scores and entering 60 for waived or passed alternate events.

How a Permanent Profile Changes AFT Scoring

A DA Form 3349 tells the grader which AFT events a Soldier can perform. The Soldier completes every authorized event and, when the 2-Mile Run is waived, completes the alternate aerobic event authorized by the profile. An event cannot be skipped by choice.

The two numbers on this page answer different questions. The promotion composite keeps the actual score for each performed event and uses 60 for a waived event or passed alternate event. The compliance result checks the selected General or Combat standard. The Army's current AFT guidance states that a profiled Soldier in a designated combat specialty must average 70 points across the events the Soldier can take and must pass an alternate aerobic event when one is required.

A profiling provider reviews authorized activities and event restrictions with a Soldier.

Permanent vs. Temporary Profiles

A temporary profile and a permanent profile do not create the same testing situation:

Temporary profile: Training, testing and recovery follow the restrictions and recovery timeline written on the active profile. This calculator should not be used to override those instructions.
Permanent profile: The Soldier performs every AFT event authorized on DA Form 3349 and completes an authorized alternate aerobic event when the 2MR is waived.

Alternate Aerobic Event Requirements & Passing Criteria

The four listed alternatives are the 5,000-meter Row, 1,000-meter Swim, 12,000-meter Stationary Bike and 2.5-Mile Walk. They are GO/NO-GO events. A passed alternate event supplies 60 points for the promotion composite, but a faster time does not create 61 to 100 points.

Frequently Asked Questions: AFT Medical Profiles

The Soldier follows the testing, recovery and event restrictions written on the active DA Form 3349 and current unit guidance. This calculator is designed for permanent-profile event treatment, so a temporary-profile case should be confirmed with the profiling provider and unit test staff.

Alternate aerobic events (5,000m Row, 1,000m Swim, 12,000m Bike, or 2.5-Mile Walk) are strictly evaluated on a GO / NO-GO (Pass/Fail) basis. Completing the event within the allotted time standard awards exactly 60 points on the scorecard (DA Form 705); points above 60 are not awarded for alternate events.

The promotion composite keeps each actual performed-event score and enters 60 points for a waived event or passed alternate event. It is not produced by multiplying an average or linearly prorating the events taken.

Profile duration and referral decisions depend on the medical condition, profile history and current medical-retention rules. DA Form 3349 and the Soldier's profiling provider are the controlling sources; this scoring tool does not determine MEB referral eligibility.
