Marine Corps Combat Fitness Test (CFT) Practice Test

The Movement to Contact event is particularly critical for infantry units as it simulates a tactical scenario where Marines must move quickly and effectively to engage with the enemy. This event tests not only the physical endurance and speed of the Marines but also their ability to operate under real-life combat conditions. This includes evaluating their capacity for teamwork, communication, and tactical movement in a setting that closely resembles battlefield environments.

In contrast, the other events, while important for overall physical fitness and readiness, do not replicate the specific demands and scenarios that infantry units face during engagements. The Ammunition Can Lift focuses on upper body strength, the 880-meter run measures cardiovascular endurance, and the Obstacle Course tests agility and coordination, but none encapsulate the urgency and tactical maneuvering required in combat situations like the Movement to Contact does. Therefore, this event holds greater significance for the operational effectiveness of infantry units.
