Purpose.

The OFT requirements ensure AFSPECWAR operators have the necessary physical abilities to perform the critical physical tasks inherent to their operational duties. This test captures the physical duty requirements necessary to accomplish the AFSPECWAR mission set and assists in the measurement of fitness levels of AFSPECWAR operators and therefore does not allow for component exemptions.

The standards in this nine-component OFT surpass DoDI 1308.03 and DAFMAN 36-2905 cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, and core endurance components requirements. Therefore, a current, passing OFT score exempts the member from the PFA.
