Why bench press and front squat? - One of the most interesting things about strength is when an athlete is balanced, his front squat and bench press 1 rep max will be very close together.
Dead Lifts - The dead lift is a great test of overall, full body strength.
Sprints - Sprint(s) for reps tests anaerobic endurance and the athlete's ability to recover metabolically. I feel sprinting is a key fitness attribute for military athletes. Plus, no special equipment is needed for this test.
Best overall test for anaerobic endurance is the 300yd shuttle run
Pull ups - This is one carryover from typical military fitness tests. Pulling power is another needed attribute for military athletes.
