Which FM covers physical training?

• A. FM 1-05
• B. AR 600-8-22
• C. FM 3-23.35
• D. FM 7-22

Answer: (D)

The main idea is understanding which official manual governs the Army’s physical training program. Army Field Manual 7-22 is the one that defines Army Physical Readiness Training (APRT), the standardized approach the Army uses to train soldiers for overall readiness. This manual lays out the structure of PT sessions—how to warm up, prep mobility, and progress through the main workout with strength and endurance elements, followed by a cooldown. It also covers how to scale workouts for different fitness levels, emphasize proper technique, and prevent injuries, all to ensure soldiers are prepared for duty.

That’s why this option is the best answer: it is specifically dedicated to physical training and the procedures and standards for conducting PT across the force. The other manuals address topics outside of the Army’s physical readiness program, such as leadership, awards, or other subjects, and do not provide the official guidance on Army physical training.
