00:00.439 --> 00:03.522
^(marching, stomping)

00:04.115 --> 00:06.303
- The Expert Field Medical Badge or EFMB is

00:06.303 --> 00:09.992
^a comprehensive test that tests several skills

00:09.992 --> 00:13.159
^of soldiers in the medical profession.

00:13.196 --> 00:14.862
A lot of folks throughout the Army understand

00:14.862 --> 00:17.745
the EIB or the Expert Infantryman's Badge.

00:17.745 --> 00:20.328
The medical realm has the EFMB.

00:21.156 --> 00:23.967
It tests several medical skills throughout the test

00:23.967 --> 00:27.290
of four days and they'll be tested on a number

00:27.290 --> 00:30.531
of other communication skills, warrior skills,

00:30.531 --> 00:32.364
and evacuation skills.

00:32.443 --> 00:34.349
Where a soldier has to go from executing

00:34.349 --> 00:37.026
like a communications task to a warrior task

00:37.026 --> 00:39.826
and then, possibly to a medical task.

00:39.826 --> 00:42.993
At the culmination of this, we also integrate Land Nav

00:42.993 --> 00:46.527
both day and night and we integrate a 12 mile road march.

00:46.527 --> 00:49.328
(stomping, cheering)

00:49.328 --> 00:52.415
^- The hardest part was just committing to the studying

00:52.415 --> 00:54.892
^every night, knowing that you have another lane

00:54.892 --> 00:56.717
^the next day and as soon as you finish that,

00:56.717 --> 00:58.601
you've got to prep for the next lane,

00:58.601 --> 00:59.813
and prep for the next lane.

00:59.813 --> 01:01.205
Just to make sure you're ready and you have

01:01.205 --> 01:03.314
all the fresh knowledge ready to go.

01:03.314 --> 01:04.814
- I think the training that I've gotten here is

01:04.814 --> 01:07.612
^just something that I'm always gonna, I'm always gonna use

01:07.612 --> 01:08.520
^for the rest of my life.

01:08.520 --> 01:11.600
^I mean, if I ever have to work with a NATO Ally again

01:11.600 --> 01:15.517
it'll be something that I can transfer to that.

01:15.770 --> 01:18.570
It's excellent training and it's good to be here.

01:18.570 --> 01:20.903
