Medic! Countless wounded Soldiers have yelled out this word over the years and it takes a highly-skilled warrior to provide first aid and trauma care on the battlefield.
The 25th Infantry Division assessed those battlefield skills with Expert Field Medical Badge, or EFMB, testing Oct. 25-30. This is one of the most challenging and stressful training evaluations in the U.S. Army, with a 19 percent pass rate.
"Last year was my first attempt," Sgt. Joshua Knox said. "I just graduated out of advanced individual training, and I didn't know what it was. It's a very prestigious badge, and for some it takes four or five tries. The lanes were pretty challenging and everyone in the medical field should try at least once."
