The Army is changing up its physical fitness test after three decades in an effort to better replicate battlefield needs while also being gender and age neutral. The current test featuring sit-ups, pushups and a 2-mile run will be phased out by late 2020. "What the Army has done has adapted to what's being done in the industry as a whole as far as combat readiness and physical training, be it in the gym or be it outside," said D'Allem Pretlow of DSDQ Fitness.
