Just out of interest

I find it interesting that the current APFT focuses heavily on Endurance Strength, but has no KPIs for Limit Strength, which I assume must have some importance operationally.

However I have seen a pre 2003 reference to a Bench-Press being part of an extended APFT for officers in MOS phase.

Why are there no Limit Strength events in the APFT or an extended APFT?
