When I was in the military, I think the max for the PT test was around 82 in 2 min (it's been over 40 years so don't fully remember). I think it's a little over 70 for younger people now, and 50 for older people.

My last year, and for about 17 years after (until a major accident), I did 5 sets of 50 (250) 4 days a week every morning.

In addition, I did sets of free squats for a total of 200 those same mornings.

If he was close to max on his PT test (seems like he probably was) this routine isn't that abnormal.
