What role does a CFT monitor play during the test?

A CFT monitor plays a critical role in ensuring safety and proper execution of events during the Combat Fitness Test (CFT). This responsibility includes closely observing participants to make sure that they are following the designated procedures for each event and adhering to safety protocols. By doing so, the monitor helps to prevent injuries and ensure that the test is conducted fairly and effectively. Their presence is essential for maintaining the integrity of the test, as they can provide immediate feedback and intervention if any participant is at risk or not performing an event correctly.

While training participants, improving the scoring system, and providing motivational support are valuable components in the testing process, the primary focus of a CFT monitor is centered around safety and the proper administration of the test. This ensures that all participants can perform to the best of their abilities while minimizing risk.
