U.S. Army medics from 1st Armored Division, 10th Mountain Division, Arizona National Guard and Minnesota National Guard take an Army Physical Fitness Test in which they have to score 80% in each event to qualify for the Expert Field Medical Badge at Fort Bliss, Texas, Sept. 5, 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.
