Preparation Drill (PD) The purpose of the PD is to ready a Soldier for PRT activities. The PD is performed at the beginning of every PRT session in the order and at the cadence shown in the table below.
Table 3-. Preparation Drill Stability Training Precise performance of 4 for the Core and the Hip Stability Drill form the foundation of good stability for physical performance. 4 for the Core (4C) 4C trains the trunk (core). During the toughening phase in BCT, 4C is performed after PD and prior to strength and mobility activities. 4C is performed in the order listed and time shown in the table below.
Table 3-. 4 for the Core Hip Stability Drill (HSD) The HSD trains the hip and upper thigh, developing the strength and mobility needed for stability to perform functional movements. During the toughening phase, HSD is performed after PD and prior to endurance and mobility activities.
Table 3-. Hip Stability Drill Strength and Mobility These activities make you stronger and get you in shape for combat. There are a variety of activities include conditioning drills, climbing drills, the guerilla drill, ability group runs, circuits, and speed runs. A list of CDs and MMDs are below, so you can learn the different exercises. 
Conditioning Drill 1 (CD1) CD 1 consists of basic and intermediate callisthenic exercises that develop foundational fitness and body management by challenging strength, endurance, and mobility through complex functional movement patterns. All CDs are performed in the order and at the cadence shown in the tables below.
Table 3-. Conditioning Drill Conditioning Drill 2 (CD2) CD 2 consists of intermediate and advanced callisthenic exercises that are designed to train the total-body functionally muscular strength and endurance needed to successfully perform WTBDs.
Table 3-. Conditioning Drill 2 Conditioning Drill 3 (CD3) CD 3 consists of advanced callisthenic and polymeric exercises that are designed to train agility, coordination, and the lower-body muscular strength and endurance needed in combat. CD3 is conducted during AIT and OSUT Phase IV and V.
Military Movement Drill 1 (MMD1 The purpose of MMD1 in the toughening phase is to enhance running form, dynamically prepare the body for more vigorous running activities, and develop motor efficiency. MMDs are performed in the order, distance and reps shown in the table below.
Table 3-. Military Movement Drill Military Movement Drill 2 (MMD2) The purpose of MMD2 in the sustaining phase is to enhance running form, dynamically prepare the body for more vigorous running activities and develop motor efficiency. MMD2 is conducted during AIT and the latter OSUT phases.
Table 3-. Military Movement Drill 2 Recovery Drill (RD) Recovery serves to gradually slow the heart rate and helps prevent pooling of the blood in the legs and feet. The purpose of the recovery drill (RD) is to develop range of motion and stability to enhance performance, control injuries, and gradually bring the body back to its pre-exercise state. To recover adequately from one PRT session to another on consecutive days, Soldiers must restore hydration and energy through proper fluid intake and nutrition. This recovery period also includes adequate rest and sleep to allow the body to adapt physiologically to the physical stresses of PRT. The RD is performed at the end of every PRT session in the order and time shown in the table below. The recovery exercises are not given in cadence. Soldiers move in and out of the starting position and exercise positions on the PRT leader’s command. The seconds are not counted out loud.
Table 3-. Recovery Drill Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) The intent of the APFT is to provide an assessment of the PRT program. Physical Fitness testing is designed to ensure that every Soldier is maintaining a high level of physical performance, regardless of Army MOS or duty assignment. The APFT provides a measure of upper and lower body muscular endurance. It is a performance test that indicates a Soldier’s ability to perform physically and handle his or her own body weight. APFT standards are adjusted for age and physiological differences between the genders. The APFT consists of the following:
The events are performed in that order and on the same day. Soldiers are allowed a minimum of 10 minutes and a maximum of 20 minutes rest between events. All three events must be completed within two hours. Soldiers in BCT must attain 50 points in each event and an overall score of 150 points to meet APFT minimum standards. Soldiers in AIT and OSUT must attain a score of at least 60 points on each event and an overall score of at least 180 points to meet APFT minimum standards. The APFT Standards tables below specify 50, 60 and 100 point values for male and female Soldiers. The maximum score a Soldier can attain on the APFT is 300 points (extended scale scoring IS NOT authorized). APFT results will be recorded on DA Form 705, Army Physical Fitness Scorecard. The uniform for the APFT is the IPFU ensemble.
