Fitness Standards
The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) Physical Efficiency Battery (PEB) consists of the following three core individual assessments:
1.5 Mile Run
1 Minute Push Up Test
1 Minute Sit Up Test
Deputy United States Marshal (DUSM) candidates and applicants will be required to pass the core PEB tests at the stated minimum standards for the candidate’s/applicant’s age and gender immediately prior to being hired and/or attending the Basic Deputy United States Marshal Integrated (BDUSMi) training.
Incumbent DUSMs are required to take this test bi-annually for the duration of their career.
DUSMs are authorized up to 3 hours per week during the duty day to participate in approved fitness-related activities contingent upon the demands of the office and approval of the supervisor.
To help applicants prepare for the fitness requirements, the United States Marshals Service offers the FIT Readiness Program. This is a comprehensive package that applicants can use to assess their physical readiness and improve their fitness levels.
