Hi George, for regular entry soldiers you don't require any, but for officer entry you do and for fitness standards you need to be able to pass the 2 km run in 10 minutes 15 seconds, mid thigh pull 76kg and a medicine pull throw at 3.1m

For any role as an officer, you will need to do a beep test

Are there any fitness tips you could give for the running and medicine ball throw and mid thigh pull, or would the 100% army fit app help with that?
