What is the minimum number of personnel required to administer the ACFT?

• A. 3: an OIC/NCOIC, Grader, and support personnel to monitor the 25M turn line during the Sprint-Drag-Carry event.
• B. 1: A sole grader.
• C. 2: A commander and a grader.
• D. 4: A safety officer, grader, commander, and medic.

Answer: (A)

The minimum staffing is three because administering the ACFT, and especially the Sprint-Drag-Carry, requires supervision, objective scoring, and course control. An OIC or NCOIC provides oversight and accountability for the test, a grader handles the scoring accurately, and a support personnel member is needed specifically to monitor the 25-meter turn line during the Sprint-Drag-Carry. This setup ensures the event is run safely and fairly while the participant completes the turning segment. Having only one grader lacks supervision, two people don’t cover the turn-line monitoring, and four people adds roles (like a medic or safety officer) that aren’t required for the minimum.
