A Sky Soldier navigates a wired obstacle during the Expert Field Medical Badge competition in Baumholder, Germany, September 21, 2020.
Competitors underwent testing on communications, basic soldier-skill tasks, medical tasks and an 80-question written exam. They also faced tough testing scenarios known as combat testing lanes which incorporate 15 or more different tasks including triage, casualty evacuation and emergency medical treatment in a simulated combat environment. The culminating event was a 12-mile ruck march that had to be completed in less than three hours.
The 173rd Airborne Brigade is the U.S. Army's Contingency Response Force in Europe, providing rapidly deployable forces to the United States Europe, Africa and Central Command areas of responsibility. Forward deployed across Italy and Germany, the brigade routinely trains alongside NATO allies and partners to build partnerships and strengthen the alliance.
