Fitness preparation for the army

So far here's my program
1) 30 minutes ring training (push ups, pull ups dips, etc)
2) 2 mile run, progressively increasing speed and distance (C25K app)
3) Truck tire deadlifts and squats
What else should I add, anons? Should I start swimming too? Should I save money to get a gym membership?

    >UK test
    Very good not only tests your general fitness but also specific skills
    >austria
    Far too easy
    >Russia
    Completely moronic, far too specific for mma and useless for a solders
    >America
    Reminds of a CrossFit workout but it test not only for endurance but also agility and reflexes which is pretty good

      Austria is a competition. Those are minimas. They then choose the 15 or 20% who performed the best.

      If you are just trying to go regular infantry or combat arms, then focus on calisthenics (push ups, sit ups, pull ups) and getting your run times down. Squats will help strengthen your legs for rucking. If you are going for a Ranger contract, then you need to be running at least a sub 14 minute 2-mile or else you will be sucking. You can add swimming if you want for extra cardio or if you don't already know how to swim. Focus more on cardio than strength and you'll be fine.
