Maybe somebody here online knows the the real-life requirements for a special forces soldier, to compare @YT_SMKGAMING interesting BF speed analytics to real life?
Special stricter requirements are in place for load-bearing branches like infantry or artillery, which I guess would be the best benchmark for our BF soldiers running fully loaded here. 😀
Standard running requirement for a US marine in combat fitness is to run the 880 yards "Movement to Contact test" in less than 2 minutes and 45 seconds. So like 805 meters in under 165 seconds. So approx. 17.6 km/h. But that is without the gear.
Anybody aware of official test targets for soldiers fully loaded out?
To be clear, for the 880m “Movement to Contact” (MTC) phase of the Combat Fitness Test (CFT), and for the entire conduct of the CFT, Marines will be in boots and utility trousers (until the “Maneuver under Fire” portion where the blouse goes back on).
That 2:45 time was the original MTC maximum score time for the youngest age group. It is now 2:38 for the max score in the 21-25 age group.

Also, it sucks. The entire CFT is an anaerobic workout, but the MTC will really leave you winded. Sprinting in boots and trousers will do that though…. for comparison, WR 880m is 1:42…
There is no official “full gear” standardized movement test. This is likely deemed unnecessary since other, more general testing is already in place and the deleterious long term effects of all-out movement in full-gear that is still uniformly sized and as such, not individually ergonomic at all.
Ultimately, fighting and moving in full gear is utterly exhausting and could not be realistically maintained for long periods and would also cause a corresponding, degrading effect on combat effectiveness.
