I was in a job that was almost combat arms. Hell the only reason we weren't, is because they didn't change the title so that women COULD be involved in it. In a combat zone, there is almost no definable difference between what the infantry can do and what an MP can do. In fact, MPs have more jobs they can perform to the point "MP" is said to mean "Multi-Purpose" rather than Military Police.
I say this because the standards for physical fitness were the same as though you were not in a combat role. Now that we've gone to a more mechanized force, the physical fitness standards don't need to change for PT, but instead they need to focus on other things that deal specifically with combat. Like, can you actually perform the movements? Can you think tactically to work with your team, etc?
Standards can remain the same as any other group, it works for others that are already in the field. The PT standards are "equal" based on the differences of physical features.
