  1. During the 2-Mile Run, a Soldier collapses, is confused, and has hot skin. What should the grader treat this as first?

    Answer: Suspected heat stroke requiring immediate cooling and evacuation

    Altered mental status with high body temperature after exertion indicates heat stroke, a life-threatening emergency.

  2. What is the most effective field method for rapidly cooling a heat stroke casualty at an ACFT site?

    Answer: Applying ice sheets or immersing the casualty in cold water

    Army heat injury guidance emphasizes rapid whole-body cooling, such as iced sheets or cold-water immersion.

  3. A Soldier has drunk large amounts of water all morning and now shows confusion, nausea, and headache without a high temperature. What condition should graders suspect?

    Answer: Hyponatremia (overhydration)

    Excessive water intake can dilute blood sodium, causing hyponatremia with confusion and nausea.

  4. Who is responsible for ensuring medical support and an emergency plan are in place before ACFT testing begins?

    Answer: The OIC/NCOIC of the test

    The OIC/NCOIC oversees test safety, including medical coverage and the evacuation plan.

  5. After a Soldier completes an event, they report dark, cola-colored urine and severe muscle pain. What should graders suspect?

    Answer: Exertional rhabdomyolysis

    Dark urine with severe muscle pain after exertion is a classic sign of rhabdomyolysis, which requires medical evaluation.

  6. Which item should be immediately accessible at an ACFT test site for cardiac emergencies?

    Answer: An automated external defibrillator (AED)

    Quick AED access greatly improves survival after sudden cardiac arrest.

  7. A Soldier falls during the Sprint-Drag-Carry and complains of neck pain with tingling in the arms. What should the grader do?

    Answer: Keep the Soldier still and stabilize the head and neck until medical help arrives

    Suspected spinal injury requires manual stabilization and avoiding unnecessary movement.
