“…To identify infantry soldiers eligible for the Spanish Army, in addition to aerobic capacity, the 20 m shuttle test or an obstacle course should be used, as these tests are being used in the US Army (Russell, 2019). In fact, as the US Army Report (Foulis et al, 2015) suggested that the safety and efficiency of soldiers should be based upon their ability to complete physically demanding tasks that are consistent with the physical requirements of infantry soldiers, as those who are physically ineligible are likely at high risk for injury. Currently, the types of test(s) used varies across nations and is influenced by the requirements of military organizations, resources and the population among which they are being applied (NATO RTG HFM-269 panel, 2019).…”

“…However, the question was not “are women stronger than male counterparts? ” it was instead “could women successfully perform occupational tasks as well as men (required in combat roles)?” This more specific question inspired a battery of research studies aimed to determine the (sex-neutral) physical employment standards for combat-specific operational roles (14–16). Identifying physically demanding tasks that were specific and relevant to combat roles set the stage for full gender integration.…”

“…The U.S. Army conducted a multiyear research study following accepted best practices (24) to identify physical tests that would predict performance on gender-neutral critical physically demanding tasks (CPDTs) and assist in the selection and assignment of soldiers to military occupational specialties (MOSs) (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)28,32,36). Using job analysis procedures, U.S. Army subject matter experts (SMEs) identified a group of 5 soldiering tasks as common to all MOSs (30).…”

“…Several countries and their military branches (4,5,9,23,24,27) have examined the physiological and perceptual demands of similar military occupational tasks to determine the required physical capabilities for task performance. For example, the Canadian Forces reviewed data collected from the previous 20 years on the physical tasks performed by soldiers (37).…”
