That&#8217;s right \u2014 in an unexpected move, the Army has buried the five-event test, originally slated to start in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But don&#8217;t relax just yet \u2014 a new test is in the works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">more<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decision to cancel was made by Gen. Robert Cone, whose Training and Doctrine Command spent two years developing the test, which has now been scrapped. Independent evaluations said it did no better than the existing three-event test in regard to measuring fitness levels. More importantly, the Army wants a test that better measures a soldier&#8217;s physical ability to complete warrior tasks and battle drills in future combat environments, and the proposed test does not meet that need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/prime\/2012\/08\/PRIMEarmy-scraps-pt-test-update-082712\" target=\"_blank\">Read the rest of
