The testing phase consists of a
written test, Day and Night Land Navigation, a 12 mile
ruck march, and 3 combat testing lanes with basic combat
scenarios and combat medical skills. In order to earn
the badge, Soldiers must complete all tasks and cross
the finish line in time.
In a ceremony, following the event, Lieutenant General
Mark Hertling, the US Army Europe (USAREUR) Commanding
General, pinned the badges on the winners. In addition,
Colonel Slade, the USAMMCE Commander, presented the
USAMMCE winners with a Commander’s coin.
After they returned to work, SGT Roth said: “the most
challenging task was probably the written test. Finding
time to study and the vast variety of possible questions
and subjects, made that portion very tough for me. I
don’t think anyone can actually go into EFMB and think
they fully have it in the bag.”
SGT Coleman agreed that the written test was the most
challenging task for him as well. He also said: “At
first I was nervous about Combat Testing Lane 1, but we
managed to get some time to go over the lane, so that
helped.”
In an email message to all of USAMMCE COL Slade stated,
that he is extremely proud of these two young NCOs.
