How far is the casualty drag during the CFT?

The distance for the casualty drag during the Combat Fitness Test (CFT) is set at 10 yards. This component is designed to assess a Marine's ability to maneuver and extract injured personnel in a combat scenario, reflecting the physical strength and endurance needed in real-life situations. Performing the drag over this specific distance is a critical element to ensure Marines build the necessary skills to handle real-world emergencies effectively. The 10-yard distance provides a practical measure that can simulate carrying or dragging a fellow Marine to safety, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and resilience in combat operations.
