CFT EXAM When is the CFT conducted - ANS 1 July - 31 December Who takes the CFT - ANS Active duty, selected marine corps reserve What does the CFT do - ANS Evaluates strength, stamina, agility, and coordination What does the CFT consist of - ANS 2 hours long: movement to contact, ammo can lift, maneuver under fire Equipment needed - ANS scale, markers, ammo cans, measuring tape/wheel, stopwatch, engineer tape/chalk, dummy grenades How much area does the MANUF require - ANS at least 107yds long Risk factors to consider - ANS -terrain -climate and temp -number of participants -whether you have access to indoor facilities -other location concerns (i.e. traffic) -specific muscle groups for each exercise and specific risks posed by equipment (i.e. ammo cans) -risks due to fatigue Risk management process - ANS 1. Identify hazard 2. Assess risks 3. Decide 4. Implement controls 5. Supervise Monitors during the CFT: - ANS -observe marines for correct performance -call out time passes (in intervals) -report results Monitors during MTC: - ANS -give times -ensure marines stay on course -are stationed along course (3 monitors total - one at start, one at halfway, one at finish) Monitors during AL: - ANS -ensure reps are counted correctly Monitors during MANUF: - ANS -shoutout instructions -give cues for proper form -grade grenade throws MTC goal: - ANS to run measured distance in the fastest time possible (ensure the boundaries are marked with visible markers) Lead monitor during MTC - ANS -explain purpose -describe objective -say "ready" "go" -tell participants to hear and remember their time -remind them to clear the area when they finish -ask for questions AL goal: - ANS designed to challenge and assess the anaerobic endurance of the upper body Monitors must - ANS -set up the event -instruct marines to perform event safely -evaluate their performance accurately During AL - ANS -participants are paired up by height and weight w/i 10 lbs. -ammo cans are filled with 30 lbs of sand -lid faces forward Injuries from AL - ANS *muscle strains occur when not fir or improper form -lacerations -chipped teeth -broken nose -black eye (all from loss of grip, loss of control, or improper positioning) *ensure marine counting is at 90 degree to the side Lead monitor during AL - ANS -explain purpose -describe objective -"ready go" -participants should hear and remember reps -remain in the area when finished -ask for questions When to count one rep on AL - ANS -perform lift w/ elbow lock -lower can so it is at or below chin level (once it is at chin level is when you count a rep) AL required materials - ANS *no formal setup for event -M2A1 5.56mm ammo can (weighs 30#, contents shouldn't move, marked for CFT use) -calibrated scale to ensure can weighs exactly 30 -timepiece *gloves may be worn MANUF goal - ANS designed to challenge and assess the anaerobic endurance of the entire body -designed to engage the EN in combat -300yd shuttle run MANUF injuries - ANS -lower back with buddy carry -joint twists/sprains from sudden movements/instability -physical injury to monitors like getting hit by dummy grenade Legs of the MANUF - ANS *300yd shuttle run (4x75yd) 1. sprint, high crawl, run diagonal among five cones 2. reversed direction, dragged casualty, fireman carry to start line 3. ammo run for 75yds, threw grenade, execute 5 push ups 4. ammo run for 75yds back to start line How long is the high crawl? - ANS 10yds How ling is the modified high crawl - ANS 15yds How long is the casualty drag? - ANS 10yd, through 2 cones How long is the fireman carry - ANS 65yds What is the rank required for MANUF monitor? Grenade monitor? - ANS NCO or above for MANUF monitor, any rank for grenade monitor Monitor responsibilities for MANUF - ANS -brief participants -pair up marines (weight w/i 10#, height w/i 6") -give commands -provide guidance during the event Most important responsibilities for monitors - ANS 1. observe for safety 2. ensure proper execution 3 types of monitors for MANUF - ANS 1. Lead (primary) in charge of the whole event 2. Grenade pit monitor - hit or miss 3. Field monitors - run alongside participants, calling out instructions, providing guidance, and making corrections Lead monitor instructs participants: - ANS -explain purpose -describe objective -say "ready go" -report the time and hit/miss -ask for questions During leg 1... - ANS ensure proper form (posture) and proper execution (running drill correctly) -high crawl: maintain contact on the ground w/ elbows, knees, and torso -mod high crawl: 6 pts contact (hands, knees, feet) -agility run=diagonal run How to properly execute casualty drag - ANS -bend at knees -use core and legs to lift -chest is erect and lumbar curve is maintained -tell marine to keep SC close * marine's abdominal muscles should remain contracted -once the SC feet have passed the second cone, direct "casualty stand" How to properly execute fireman carry - ANS -remind marine to use core and leg muscles -chest remains erect and lumbar curve remains -SC places one hand in small of back for stabilization -ensure marine keeps the SC's weight distributed across the shoulders *run back 65yds w/o negotiating the cone network *stopping to rest or readjust is permitted How to properly lift cans - ANS -lifted using strength of the arms and legs -keep head up -chest elevated -butt down -correct runner if he/she is carrying the cans bent over at the waist *monitor for proper and controlled lowering technique for end of SC carry (look for bend at the knees) *at the end of ammo run under NO circumstances should the marine be permitted to throw the ammo cans or drop them in an uncontrolled manner After the event ... - ANS -cool downs between 10-20mins are considered helpful for quicker recovery -instruct marines to ease back into a normal resting state by walking or doing slow jog -ensure they properly hydrate and stretch their muscles -have them stretch out the major muscles in their legs holding each stretch gently for at least 15secs Lane details - ANS 107yds long, 7yds wide -mark outer boundaries w/ cones, flags, paint or chalk -cones placed 1yd in -estaimate 8 marines per lane the CFT... - ANS is a compliment to the PFT. -measures the functional elements of combat fitness through a series of events that represent every marine's combat experience What is the order for the PFT and CFT - ANS MCO 6100.13A What is used to document results - ANS NAVMC 11622 (only fill out top section, individual data, and CFT performance data section) What does the monitor fill out in the top section - ANS 3 field: unit, date, monitor what does the monitor fill out in the individual data - ANS 9 fields: rank, f, l, mi, EDIPI, age, gender, height, weight What does the monitor fill out for performance data - ANS 7 fields: MTC, time, AL, reps, MANUF, time, pass/fail (enter raw data at event and determine score after CFT) 1st class CFT - ANS 235-300 2nd class CFT - ANS 200-234 3rd class CFT - ANS 120-199 Before the CFT is performed, the monitor is responsible for - ANS annotating risk factor worksheet completion on the pft/cft Who has to complete the self validation RFW - ANS marines 46+ 30-60 days prior to conducting CFT and marines with pre-existing health conditions -once completes marine submits signed risk factor worksheet to their commander/OIC what does the RFW do - ANS helps determine any health risk or injury factors that may exist for older marines Marine completion of RFW - ANS they complete the personal info at the top and sections A and B health care provider medical screening is required prior to CFT IF - ANS -marine checks NO in SECTION A -marine checks YES in SECTION B -marine exceeds body composition standards who completes section C of the worksheet - ANS -health care provider - they indicate if the marine meets BCP standards who is NOT authorized to issue a medical clearance for any marine who replies YES in section B - ANS independent duty corpsmen Who must be medically cleared by a HCP (usually medical officer) prior to the CFT - ANS -marines requiring any follow-on medical screening after initial medical screening marines who are NOT cleared for CFT participation by an HCP - ANS are restricted for the remainder of that semi annual period When can marines 46+ participate in the CFT - ANS after a medical referral as long as no further medical eval is required and they are medically cleared by a HCP
