U.S. Army 1st Lt. Emily Booker, assigned to the 30th Medical Brigade, 21st Theater Sustainment Command, prepares a simulated casualty for medical evacuation during one of the combat testing lanes at the U.S. Army Europe Expert Field Medical Badge testing site on Nov. 7, 2023, on Vilseck, Germany. This event was part of the U.S. Army Europe Expert Infantryman, Expert Soldier and Expert Field Medical Badges, also known as E3B, 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 E3B evaluated 153 Soldiers throughout Europe as they attempted to earn one of the most challenging and prestigious Army special skill badges, with a fiscal passing rate below 20%. 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. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Daniel Yeadon).
