U.S. Army medics with 1st Armored Division, 10th Mountain Division, Arizona National Guard and Minnesota National Guard competed to earn the Expert Field Medical Badge at Fort Bliss, Texas, from 5 to 11 Sept., 2019. The EFMB test measures the individual medical 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.
