  1. The German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge (German: Abzeichen für Leistungen im Truppendienst) is a military decoration of the Bundeswehr, the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Germany. The decoration can be awarded to all German Soldiers. Allied Soldiers may also be awarded the badge. Any rank may be awarded and wear the badge. For the United States military, the German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge is one of the few approved foreign awards, and it is one of the most sought after awards to achieve.

  2. Who can participate? Any soldier from your unit! Soldiers WILL NOT participate: - if they are flagged (for any reason) or barred from reenlistment, - if they are in the military less than six months.

  3. SUMMARY of ALL EVENTS BFT = Basic Fitness Test (3 events in 90 min) • 11 x 10 meter • sprint test 1000 meter Run • Chin-up test • (flexed-arm hang) 2. 1. 3. Minimum pass Requirements max. 60 sec Minimum pass Requirements 5 sec Minimum pass Requirements max. 6min 30 sec Minimum test requirements have to be met, independently of age or gender. If testee does not meet the minimum pass requirements or one or more test events, the BFT will be deemed failed. No section retesting will take place on the same day.

  4. Regulation • The testing for the German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge (GAFPB) must be administered by a qualified German Physical Training (PT) instructor. • 2. The listed single events can be supervised and conducted by • certified US military personnel: • First Aid Training or Test • NBC 9 sec Protection Mask and MOPP4 Test

  5. BFT = Basic Fitness Test (3EVENTS in 90 min) • 11 x 10 meter • sprint test 1000 meter Run • Chin-up test • (flexed-arm hang) Minimum pass Requirements max. 60 sec Minimum pass Requirements 5 sec Minimum pass Requirements max. 6min 30 sec Minimum test requirements have to be met, independently of age or gender. If testee does not meet the minimum pass requirements or one or more test events, the BFT will be deemed failed. No additional scoring will take place on the same day. 2 3 1 Sequence  To provide a standardized test environment, events 1 to 3 are taken in sequence.

  6. BFT = 11 x 10 meter sprint test 1 4 2 Event The testee starts from a prone position (head showing in the direction of the run) and negotiates, as fast as possible, a cone positioned 10 (ten) meters away. As soon as testee gets back to the start point, he briefly assumes a prone position, claps his hands behind his back, jumps up onto his feet and sprints again. The aim is to run five and a half laps in the fastest time possible. 3 Finish Line after Sprint 11

  7. BFT = 11 x 10 meter sprint test General items required - Stopwatch - Two (2) gym mats - Three (3) cones - Measuring tape Note Before administering the test, make sure that all testees have enough time to warm up (running at a slower pace, stretching, etc.). To avoid injuries, the sprint corridor must be wide enough and behind the turning cone there must be a run-out area.

  9. Chin-up test (flexed-arm hang) • Chin-up test • Finish Position • Chin-up test • Start Position Event - The testee holds himself in the end position of a pull-up as long as possible. - Testee's evaluation will be based on the length of the time he can hold himself in this position. - Testee steps off the squat box and the instructor pulls it back, testee will hold himself up with his chin above the bar (chin-up end position; elbow joints flexed to the maximum, shoulders at the height of the bar). - Once testee's feet step off the squat box, timekeeping will start. Once the testee's chin is below the bar, timekeeping will stop. Testee's time will be recorded in seconds and tenths of a second.

  10. Chin-up test (flexed-arm hang) General items required - Stopwatch - Bar If more than one bar is available, all of them can be used allowing adjustments to individual body heights (height of bars at 180 cm or 190 cm); If no chin-up bar is available, any other suitable suspension system may be used. - Two (2) gym mats - Squat box, small - Magnesia or chalk, paper towels

  12. 1000 Meter Run 1000 M Run Minimum pass Requirements max. 6min 30 sec Event Testee completes the 1000-meter run in the shortest time possible. Test sequence For the 1000-meter (or 1-K) run, the track ideally should be 400 meters long. The runner starts at the 200-meter mark. So measured from the start/finish line, the runner must run two complete laps of the race. Once he has crossed the finish line, the tester records the runner's time to the nearest second.

  13. 1000 Meter Run General items required - Stopwatch - Measured, level track Note Before completing the 1000-meter run, testee should warm up as instructed by the tester (running at a slow pace, stretching, etc.). As an exception to the rule (for instance, in case of non-existing infrastructure or under adverse weather conditions), the 1000-meter run may also be completed on a measured and level track in the terrain (if the terrain does not provide the perfectly level track, uphill and downhill stretches should not be too steep ) or in a big indoor gym.

  15. Scoring after having met all single-event pass requirements How to tally score points Single-event results (individual test times) are translated into a graduated point-score system. Testees who meet the minimum pass requirements (100 points respectively) are awarded basic points [per event]. The better the testees performance, the more points are awarded for the respective events. For the event-specific basic point scores see the respective score table 1 - 3 (11 x 10-meter sprint test, flexed-arm hang, 1000-meter run). Providing "handicaps" Equal chances Based on age-grading and physical-ability considerations, a "handicap" is provided to soldiers, taking into account age and/or gender. Age grading Testees who are 35 years old or younger will not be age-graded. Those who are 36 years old or older will be age-graded. Basic score points will be increased by 0.5 percent per year of age. The age-grading "handicap" is calculated based on the actual age reached by a testee in a given year.  Age-graded "handicap" (36 years or older) = basic score points X (actual age minus 35 years) X 0.005

  16. Scoring after having met all single-event pass requirements • Gender grading • BFT scores have been normalized to take into account the physical abilities of male soldiers. Therefore male soldiers will not be provided any other type of "handicap" [besides age grading]. • Each female (F) soldier will be provided an event-related "handicap". The "handicap" is- 15 percent for the sprint test (F) = basic score points X 0.15) • 40 percent for the flexed-arm hang (chin-up) (F) = basic score points X 0.4) • 15 percent for the 1000-meter run (F) = basic score points X 0.15) • Single-event score • You earn scores for each event plus, if applicable, age-graded and gender-graded points. • - Event-score points = basic score points + age-graded points + gender-graded points • PointsRating • 100 – 199Fair (4.49 - 3.5 range) • 200 – 299Satisfactory (3.49 - 2.5 range) • 300 – 399Good (2.49 - 1.5 range) • ≥ 400Very Good (1.49 - 1.0 range) • Overall rating • The BFT overall rating is the averaged value calculated from the single ratings. To provide better accuracy, calculate up to two (2) decimal points.

  17. Scoring after having met all single-event pass requirements • Overall rating • The BFT overall rating is the averaged value calculated from the single ratings. To provide better accuracy, calculate up to two (2) decimal points. • Example: • sprint test /Event-score points = basic score points + age-graded points + gender-graded points = 405 • flexed-arm hang test /Event-score points = basic score points + age-graded points + gender-graded points = 500 • 1000-meter run /Event-score points = basic score points + age-graded points + gender-graded points = 300 • Total = 1205 • Averaged value from the 3 single ratings: = 1205 : 3 = 401.66 = GOLD • PointsRating 100 – 199Fair 200 – 299 Satisfactory BRONZE 300 – 399 Good SILVER >400Very Good GOLD
