Who this track is for

This track is for candidates preparing for Green Berets (United States) who want a structured, progressive plan instead of guesswork. Whether you are starting from a low base or already train regularly, the plan begins from a baseline test so the starting volume and intensity match your current level.

What Green Berets preparation involves

SFAS prerequisites: AFT score 260+ (17-21 standard). Competitive: 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 20+ pull-ups, 2-mile run 12-14 min. SFAS: 6-mile ruck screen, land nav up to 12 miles with 50lb pack, 50m swim in uniform, culminating 32-mile Long Drag.

Use this as preparation guidance and always verify current official requirements with the relevant official recruitment or defence website β€” selection standards can change and differ per intake.

Training focus

Your Green Berets plan is built around the demands that matter most for this route: heavy ruck, running, upper-body endurance, swim, cognitive resilience. Each is progressed gradually and adjusted to your baseline result and readiness, so the work scales with you rather than overloading you early.
