The Army has replaced the long-standing height and weight tables, circumference-based tape test, and supplemental body fat assessments with the Waist-to-Height Ratio health assessment tool.

Army leaders have implemented a new seven-event fitness test for Soldiers in combat-arms jobs, the service announced last week in a release.

The Pentagon last week released a memo directing the U.S. military to start using a waist-to-height ratio to evaluate the body fat of troops.

Physical fitness and combat training standards will be raised and scrutinized, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Tuesday told hundreds of generals, admirals and senior enlisted personnel from across the services and components.

The Air Force last week unveiled changes to its Physical Fitness Assessment and a new fitness program that will soon apply to all Airmen across the total Air Force.

More than 65% of National Guard and Reserve personnel can be classified as overweight or obese, according to a recent American Security Project report, citing 2017 data.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered a review of military standards, including physical fitness, body composition and grooming.
