Staff Sgt. Cameron Henderson, an eye specialist with the 507th Medical Detachment, 31st Combat Support Hospital, is the noncommissioned officer in charge of the land navigation course for the Expert Field Medical Badge competition and gives a terrain briefing to the participants at the Fort Bliss training area, Sept. 6, 2019.
Medics from two active duty divisions, the Minnesota and Arizona National Guard and the Pennsylvania Reserve component, traveled to Fort Bliss to participate in the assessment along side the 1st Armored Division's medics.
The EFMB test measures the individual Soldier's physical fitness, mental toughness, and ability to perform to standards of excellence in a broad spectrum of critical medical and military skills.
The badge was established in June 1965 as a Department of the Army special skill award for the recognition of exceptional competence and outstanding performance by field medical personnel and is considered one of the most prestigious awards Soldiers can earn.
