Jan Ledvina (right) as he clears an M4 carbine during the weapons lanes qualification at the U.S. Army Europe Expert Infantryman, Expert Soldier and Expert Field Medical Badges, also known as E3B, at Vilseck, Germany, Nov. 8, 2023. As a prerequisite to competing, the competitors must have qualified expert with the M4 Carbine or M16 Rifle on a 300-meter range within six months of testing for the E3B. 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.
