MCO 6100.13A - Marine Corps Physical Fitness And Combat Fitness Tests (Pft/Cft)

Scope

MCO 6100.13A governs the Marine Corps Physical Fitness and Combat Fitness Tests, PFT and CFT. The MCPEL lists the current version as MCO 6100.13A W/ADMIN CH-5 under the title MARINE CORPS PHYSICAL FITNESS AND COMBAT FITNESS TESTS (PFT/CFT). Portal admin pages also cite the order as the Marine Corps Physical Fitness Program authority. The Change 5 transmittal, signed 2025-05-28, carries the subject line MARINE CORPS DIRECTIVES COMPLIANCE WITH EXECUTIVE ORDER 14168 and states.

The subject order needs to be revised to reflect direction by the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) regarding the Physical Fitness Test (PFT).

Audience

• Marines taking the PFT and CFT.
• Unit training and operations staff reporting fitness scores and training data.
• S-1 and IPAC personnel coding fitness and Body Composition Program status in MCTFS.
• Inspectors and self-assessment teams working the MCAAT admin training checklist.

Content scope

Physical fitness and combat fitness testing, plus the reporting and coding duties the portal ties to the order.

• Units identify Marines with missing or late training data in MCTFS, per the same checklist citing MCO 6100.13A with Change 5 and MARADMIN 474/21.
