Which of the following events is NOT part of the ACFT?

The bench press is not part of the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT). The ACFT consists of six core events designed to measure soldiers' physical fitness and readiness: the deadlift, standing power throw, hand-release push-up, sprint-drag-carry, leg tuck (or plank as an alternative), and two-mile run. These events focus on a broad range of physical abilities, including strength, endurance, agility, and flexibility.

In contrast, the bench press, while a common strength exercise that tests upper body strength, is not included in the ACFT. The test designers aimed to create a more functional and comprehensive assessment that better represents the physical demands soldiers face in combat situations, which is why exercises like the standing ball throw and leg tuck were chosen instead.
