VILSECK, Germany - The 2nd Cavalry Regiment is hosting a first-of-its-kind exercise called E3B for the Expert Soldier, Expert Infantry and Expert Field Medical Badges Nov. 6 to 10, 2023.
"After completing two weeks of training, more than 1,700 candidates from various U.S. Army units and NATO partners undergo rigorous testing during evaluation week to obtain these prestigious badges."
“This is a great exercise for soldiers to test their skill levels in accordance with the Skill Level I tasks and also earn their E3B Badge,” said 1st Sgt. Payam Nourbakhsh of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment.
"Evaluation week kicked off with an Expert Physical Fitness Assessment beginning and ending with a one-mile plate carrier run, between which the candidates completed several tasks designed to push them physically."
"These tasks included 30 hand-release push-ups, a 50-meter water jug carry, tossing 15 sandbags, a 50-meter low-crawl and three to five-second rushes."
"After completing the fitness test, there are three main lanes the candidates must undergo to complete required tasks."
