The U.S. Army is rolling out a new fitness test that will require female soldiers serving in combat jobs to be rated on the same score chart as their male counterparts, a move that comes after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the Pentagon to review the military’s physical fitness standards last month.

"The five-event AFT is designed to enhance Soldier fitness, improve warfighting readiness, and increase the lethality of the force," the Army stated.

Among the most notable adjustments, which will likely be met with glee across the ranks, is the removal of the Standing Power Throw -- an event requiring soldiers to hurl a 10-pound medicine ball back
