Jaguar systems and jClock give units a defensible finish time for PT qualifications — Army Fitness Test, Navy PRT, Marine PFT, Air Force PFA, Coast Guard PFT, and National Guard drill weekends. Trusted at 50+ installations.
Each branch has its own test of record. The hardware does not change. Pick the service you test.
U.S. Army
Typical timed event: 2-mile run
The AFT replaced the ACFT on June 1, 2025. Typical test day is a company or battalion 2-mile — mass start or waves — with two platoons hitting the finish together. Designated combat MOS also run the Army Combat Field Test (bookend miles on a continuous course; not the Marine CFT). Chip the finish; the unit still scores the rest of the battery.
U.S. Navy
Typical timed event: 1.5-mile run or approved alternate
PRT cardio is a 1.5-mile run or an approved bike, row, or swim alternate. Typical use is a division on a track, ship, or installation loop — too many finishes for a petty officer in every lane. Chip the run, export a roster, score against the current instruction.
U.S. Marine Corps
Typical timed event: 3-mile run
The PFT 3-mile is a company finishing in packs on a measured loop. The Marine Corps Combat Fitness Test is a separate functional course (Movement to Contact and other movement events) — not the Army Combat Field Test. Chip the courses; monitors still score pull-ups, push-ups, and the plank.
U.S. Air Force
Typical timed event: 1.5-mile run or approved alternate
Most squadron PFAs still come down to a 1.5-mile on a lunch-hour track, with approved alternatives such as the HAMR shuttle in the current instruction. That is a lot of finishes in a short window. Chip the cardio event; administrators still score strength and core.
U.S. Space Force
Typical timed event: Typically 1.5-mile run
Guardian assessments follow a PFA-style battery — we do not invent a unique Space Force test. Typical use is a delta-sized 1.5-mile, often on a joint-base morning with Air Force. One finish line, two result files, one decoder. Score from the instruction on the desk.
U.S. Coast Guard
Typical timed event: 1.5-mile run, 2000 m row, or 500-yd / 450 m swim
A service-wide PFT is mandatory from 1 July 2026. Typical use is a sector, cutter, or training-center morning where three Physical Readiness Leaders with watches cannot cover the crew. Chip the run; time row and swim cardio on a visible clock. Community Fitness Tests, where authorized, are a different course — label the file.
National Guard
Typical timed event: 2-mile or 1.5-mile run
Army Guard takes the AFT (2-mile). Air Guard takes the Air Force PFA (typically 1.5-mile). There is no third Guard battery. Typical use is drill weekend on a borrowed track: set up, test, tear down before the armory is a classroom again. Offline on the laptop — no armory Wi-Fi required.
Stopwatches fail at volume. Two platoons hitting a finish together is a reader problem. Chip timing is how the last Soldier, Sailor, Marine, Airman, Guardian, or Coast Guardsman still gets a time.
Issue a passive RFID bib or shoe chip. No battery on the runner. The antenna powers the chip as they cross.
Jaguar G4, antennas, laptop. One or two people. Recording before the first heat is done stretching.
Times matched to IDs as they finish. Apply your service's standards in your own system.
Field kit
The Jaguar G4 is a 4th-generation RFID decoder in a sealed case — the same system professional timers use for 18,000+ events a year.
RFID that keeps up with a battalion
Sealed field case
Offline first
IP-67 with the cover closed. MIL-STD-810 drop-tested to four feet. Rated −30 °F to 140 °F. Designed and manufactured in the United States.
Same system, other days
The decoder that timed a qualification 2-mile times a Turkey Trot, a relay, a ruck, or a base triathlon. Keep test-of-record files in their own folder.
Ruck march and selection lanes
Army Ten-Miler and service-academy qualifiers
Base 5K, triathlon, and charity runs
Obstacle courses and mud events
ROTC and service-academy testing
Unit relays and field meets
Any PT test whose pass/fail includes a timed run, ruck, or course: the Army Fitness Test 2-mile (AFT; the ACFT is the predecessor), the Navy PRT 1.5-mile, the Marine PFT 3-mile and Marine Corps Combat Fitness Test, the Air Force and Space Force PFA-style 1.5-mile, the Coast Guard PFT cardio event, and National Guard drill-weekend tests that follow the parent service. We capture times. The unit scores against its own pubs.
The hardware never cared what the test was named. The Army Fitness Test replaced the ACFT as the test of record on June 1, 2025. If you are searching ACFT timing, you want AFT 2-mile chip timing — same physics, current name. We do not score the battery for you.
A finish point is a Jaguar G4, antennas, and a laptop. One or two people can be recording before the first heat finishes stretching. The G4 Pro has an internal battery rated for up to 18 hours; the standard G4 runs on AC or an external pack.
Yes. Timing runs entirely offline at the point of the test. Optional cloud sync can wait until it fits your IT policy. Results are stored on the laptop running Jaguar software.
When seconds separate a pass from a fail, the running time has to be public. jClock is a large-format, sunlight-readable LED clock with 10+ hours of battery, controlled from a phone over Bluetooth or the network. It does not replace RFID — it is the clock everyone can actually see.
