Will IACH's Soldiers make the cut? The Expert Field Medical Badge (EFMB) is the ultimate test for Army medical professionals. It pushes them to their physical and mental limits, demanding excellence in medical skills, battlefield evacuation, and combat readiness. But with a brutal historical pass rate of 11-27%, most who try will fail.

Watch and witness their intense training as they prepare to prove their courage, skill, and dedication in the pursuit of medical excellence. Will they defy the odds and earn the coveted badge?
