All Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal, or EOD, troops will be held to a new, four-event physical fitness test in August with gender-neutral scoring.

The US Air Force will implement a new, gender-neutral and age-neutral physical fitness test for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) personnel. Such a test has been in development for over a decade.

Beginning in August, those in EOD roles will no longer be required to complete the standard 1.5-mile run, push-ups and sit-ups that have been cornerstones of Air Force fitness evaluations for decades.

The Air Force said the PT assessment was routine, and is now trying to determine what caused A1C Moonga's death.
