 Active component and Active Guard Reserve (AGR) component Soldiers are required to take a "record" (meaning for official records) APFT at least twice each calendar year.Army Reservists (Troop Program Unit - TPU) and National Guard Soldiers are required to take a "record" test once per calendar year.Army Regulation 350–1 states that record APFTs for TPU Soldiers must be separated by eight months; this does not change, regardless of their duty status, i.e., active duty (under Title 10), annual training, etc.
