U.S. Army Cpl. Mercedes Hernandez, a medic assigned to the 30th Medical Brigade, 21st Theater Sustainment Command, transports a casualty using the four-person carry, low crawl carry while competing to earn her Expert Field Medical Badge on Nov. 7, 2023, on Vilseck, Germany. Candidates must transport a casualty using the four-person carry, low crawl carry, semi-overhead carry, and one unit selected carry without causing further injury to the casualty during the U.S. Army Europe Expert Infantryman, Expert Soldier and Expert Field Medical Badges, also known as E3B, at Vilseck, Germany, Nov. 8, 2023. The E3B is designed to test candidates' physical and mental abilities to increase unit readiness while executing critical individual and technical tasks while maintaining the integrity and history of each badge.
The Expert Infantryman Badge was created in 1944 to honor the U.S. Army Infantryman and serve as a symbol of their role in combat and proficiency in the Infantry arts. The Expert Field Medical Badge was established in 1965 for all officers, warrant officers and enlisted personnel in the Army Medical Department Corps as a method to show their high level of proficiency on the battlefield. The Expert Soldier Badge was established in 2019 on the Army's 244th Birthday to highlight lethality and preparedness outside the Infantry, Special Operations and Medical branches. All three of these badges are highly competitive, and only a select few meet every challenge and earn the right to wear the badge.
