This is an expression of the culture that needs to change. Maybe you don't think lifting heavy things is part of your job. Name an Army MOS that would never conceivably have to evacuate a casualty and if I agree I'll also agree that said MOS doesn't need lower body strength.
Secondly, we need to acknowledge how absurdly low the MDL passing standard is for most soldiers - 140#. Some fitness experts claim that the average male novice can DL 133% of his body weight w/minimal training; 101% for a novice woman.
The average American man weighs 198#, and the average American woman weighs 170#. I acknowledge those numbers skew high due to the prevalence of obesity in the US. But still, an average American should have no problem passing the ACFT MDL standard.
Dear MilTwitter,
I apologize that I am not a kinesiologist but lets not let that stop me!
The #ACFT is the talk of the town!
Even the @16thSMA wants you to run it in order to build the data set for analysis.
Let's call this the LitReview for the EverySoldier (TM)

First, let me thank/hate @rmannina86 for making me do this. Your incessant prodding is a credit to yourself, the 2 Cavalry Regt and the US Army.
The most important read to understand the ACFT is "Baseline Soldier Physical Readiness Requirements Study" published in NOV 2019

(1)Es ist zu befürchten, dass wir nach der Impfung der vulnerablen Gruppe die #ITS weiterhin auf submaximal fahren werden und uns wieder mehr Neuinfektionen "erlauben". Epidemiologisch wandert dadurch der Tod in jüngere Gesellschaftsschichten (W-Effekt).

(2) Verständlich, weil eben auch jüngere Menschen an #COVID19 sterben. Nur deutlich seltener. Wenn aber mehr Neuinfektionen zugelassen werden, erhöht sich auch der Anteil der jüngeren Sterbenden. Das ist einfache Stochastik.

(3) Ich hatte zur Auslastung der Intensivstationen im April einen Thread geschrieben und fand ihn damals zynisch. Er ist immer noch zynisch. Erschreckenderweise finde ich ihn (auch aufgrund der aktuellen Todeszahlen) aber realistischer denn je.
