On June 1, the Army will adopt new fitness standards for soldiers in combat roles. Many of the updates to the test are relatively minor, though the minimum requirement in some events, like the two-mile run, will change more substantially. The most significant shift is that the new standards will be the same for men and women<\/a>.<\/p>\n
