The FORCE Evaluation consists of four separate evaluation components designed to elicit and measure different physical capabilities. There is one minimum standard for all CAF members. The evaluation components are:
20 m Rushes: Starting from the prone position, complete two shuttle sprints (1 shuttle = 20 m there, 20 m back) dropping to the prone position every 10 m for a total of 80 m. To be completed in less than 51 seconds.
Sandbag Lift: 30 consecutive lifts of a 20 kg sandbag from the floor to a height of 1 m. The member alternates between left and right sandbags separated by 1.25 m. To be completed in 3 minutes and 30 seconds or less;
Intermittent Loaded Shuttles: 10 consecutive shuttles (1 shuttle = 20 m there, 20 m back), alternating between loaded shuttles with a 20 kg sandbag and unloaded shuttles, totaling 400 m. To be completed in 5 minutes and 21 seconds or less;
Sandbag Drag: Carry one 20 kg sandbag and pull a minimum of four on the floor over 20 m without stopping. Number of sandbags being dragged depends on the type of floor.
