The Candidate's Requirements:
Each candidate must have:
-
A T-shirt (or equivalent) and optional underwear. A sports bra for female personnel is recommended.
-
A pair of lightweight shorts or your standard Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) combat trousers (with or without belt)
-
A pair of running shoes (trainers) and a pair of lightweight Socks. Combat boots are NOT recommended, but are authorised for use.

Each candidate must bring a minimum of 2x500ml of water and 2 energy bars (or equivalent), half to be stowed at the principle PFT venue for use during Parts A and B of the test, while the remainder must be put aside for use at the conclusion of Part C.
-
The optional wearing of a hat, cap or bandana, and sunglasses in bright weather is also authorised.
No reductions in pass marks are allowed for additional clothing or kit.
The Supervisor's Requirements:
-
A senior supervisor must be appointed to co-ordinate and be present at the test. They must be equipped with a radio, pen, notepad and a copy of this Checklist and a roster of candidates. This roster must be prepared in advance, with the required score/time for each candidate listed, so a simple PASS/FAIL can be issued immediately upon completion. The results should be confirmed upon return to base.
-
A minimum of one qualified and appropriately equipped Field Medic (First Aider) per twelve candidates must be present. They may NOT be assigned any other task.
-
A minimum of one driver and one vehicle per twelve candidates must be present. They may NOT be assigned any other task.
-
A minimum of one score keeper per twelve candidates, to record all results must be present. They may NOT be assigned any other task. As a paper record is required, the score keeper must have a pen and notepad sufficient to the number of candidates. An electronic substitute is NOT authorised, but may serve in addition to the hard copy.
-
For the push-ups and sit-ups, a spotter for each candidate is required. This can be run sequencially and the candidates can spot for one another, so as to minimise staff requirements.
-
For the two mile (3,219 metres) run, the minimum distance between check points must be no more than one mile (1,610 metres). On days exceeding 80°F (27°C), then the minimum distance between check points must NOT exceed one half mile (805 metres).
-
A minimum additional 300ml of water per candiddate must be provided by the organisers to be available at the finish and at each check point. This should be made available to all at the end of the test if not used. Disposable paper cups should be used to preserve hygene if a common source is employed.
-
Each check point must have a minimum of one person equipped with a radio, and who is then responsible for the store and distribution of water. If numbers permit, then designated water bearers should be assigned to each check point, at a rate of at least one per twelve candidates.
