Initial Conclusions
Base upon participation in PCU-X:
• All cause attrition was lower than traditional PCU
attrition (11% v. 19%).
• BCT Week 1 APFT scores were higher (M=130/103,
F=134/82).
• BCT Week 7 APFT scores were higher (M=193/177;
F=203/186).
• Female injuries were lower (2.7% v. 8.2%-T 9.6%-C
4.7%-N).
• APFT failure rate was higher for males and females
(15% v. 10%).

FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS
1. Determine appropriate pre-accession
physical fitness screening tool and
standards.
2. Conduct a PCU Risk Factor Assessment.
3. Study of the proper ‘length’ of PCU/BCT.
4. Properly resource PCU; facilities and
trained staff.
5. Conduct a PCU study that is “real world,”
taking into account logistics, equipment,
and other constraints.

Take Aways
• Better assess incoming physical
performance.
• 4-weeks appears to be about right.
• PCU SITs need the cognitive/life
skills piece to be successful for the
long term.
• Motivation (caring) is crucial to PCU
SIT’s success and hardiness.
