The Army Occupational Physical Assessment Test includes 4 events: Standing Long Jump, Seated Power Throw, Deadlift, and an Aerobic Interval Run. Ultimately, the OPAT will help make the Army stronger overall by putting the right person in the right job based on his or her mental and physical aptitude. The OPAT only measures the physical potential of recruits entering the Army, not the capabilities of trained Soldiers.
