GRAFENWOEHR, Germany. – Participants from across the U.S. military, as well as Soldiers from NATO countries arrive at Camp Algiers in the Grafenwoehr Training Area (GTA) 20 March to test their skills and endurance and win for themselves the Expert Field Medical Badge (EFMB). Their testing takes place from 20 through 30 March, 2017. The pass rate is traditionally less than 18 percent.
Participants pictured here observe how to properly prepare for a hazardous materials (Hazmat) test scenario. They will be timed and evaluated rigidly on their memory of proper sequences and procedures; one critical mistake ore exceeding the time given may mean a "No-Go" and immediate forfeiture of the badge.
The Expert Field Medical Badge is awarded to military personnel who complete a variety of physical, mental and written tests that determine their ability to quickly, accurately and effectively perform complex life-saving medical tasks while in a variety of hostile environments and situations. The EFMB is considered the medical equivalent of the Expert Infantryman's Badge, but is statistically harder to earn than the EIB.
This year's EFMB is hosted by the 212th Combat Support Hospital, 30th Medical Command. Qualification for the badge is considered a grueling experience by those who have earned it and the majority of participants do not make it to the final round.
The more than 200 U.S. and NATO servicemembers vying for the coveted badge come from posts across Europe. EFMB orientation takes place from 20 – 27 March with testing beginning Monday, 27 March and concluding on 30 March.

444th MPAD
New Jersey Army National Guard
After high intensity training under the Fort Indiantown Gap sun, and nights spent trekking through the woods and over the hills of western Pennsylvania, New Jersey has awarded eight soldiers with the Expert Infantry Badge, one of the highest prizes an infantryman can earn.
On day one of the competition, 40 soldiers from all over New Jersey had eyes on the badge. However, as each event came to an end, so did the hopes of some candidates.
“It’s called the Expert Infantry Badge for a reason,” said 1st Sgt. Brian Townsend, the president of the committee that organized EIB 21. “The thing that knocked most people out was the small details. It’s not the Everybody Infantry Badge. It’s the Expert Infantry Badge.”
This particular expert infantry competition returns to New Jersey with brand new feel.
In previous EIB competitions, candidates displayed their warrior competence in a round-robin fashion, with each of the 40 events being timed.
In EIB 21, there are fewer events to complete, however, it is now done in a combat setting, adding a completely new element to the process.
“When the blood got pumping and the adrenaline was flowing, it made it more difficult to execute the tasks that you’re sure you know how to do,” said newly minted EIB recipient 1st Lt. Andrew Stevens of HHC 1/114th. “With the amount of preparation I put in to this, it was all muscle memory, but the combat element made it a bit more difficult.”
Though difficult, it did not stop Stevens from enjoying the tasks.
“The lanes were my favorite part,” he said. “Once we got passed the preparation, I had a really good time.”
Preparation was a huge part of EIB 21.
When the day was over and all of the competitors gathered for dinner, normal chow chatter was nowhere to be found. Instead, tips for the next day’s event feverishly bounced off the walls. Terms like left and right limit, call for fire, SALUTE report, check for shock and SPORTS filled the dining facility, leaving little room to discuss anything else. It sounded like these soldiers just stepped off of the battlefield.
That is what the planning committee intended.
“In the old style, you didn’t get as much battle field experience, but it was a little harder,” Townsend said. “But the EIB 21 adds the element of combat stress to make it more challenging.”
That new level of stress was felt prior to each event.
“Everyone was nervous before the lanes,” said Cpt. Timothy Sorrentino, commander of HHC 1/114th and EIB recipient. “Doing all of the tasks over and over again prior to the competition was easy. But, executing them under the pressure situation was different.”
Sgt. Thomas Fisk, EIB 21 staff and trainer, said this is how soldiers of today should be learning.
“It’s good that they see a scenario and it’s battle focused,” he said. “They know what they are supposed to do with their training and can immediately incorporate it with their mission.”
Fisk enjoyed this opportunity to teach soldiers skills needed to earn the prestigious badge that he received several years prior.
“I like to teach younger guys, any of the soldiers coming up,” the Neptune City native said. “That way, when they get to be sergeants, they can teach the guys coming up. That way we can have a better Army for the future.”
The future is something that Townsend is also looking toward.
“We wanted something to build from since this is the first time we are running EIB 21,” he said. “We mirrored a lot of what was going on at Fort Benning. What I wanted to do was give the state something to build off of, so we can make this competition something great for the state.”
Sorrentino expects a number of his soldiers to take part in next year’s event.
“It’s something that every infantryman should have,” the commander said, a sentiment that all infantrymen at competing at FIG echoed.
We had terrific discussions on 30 October to prepare for next year's Africa Progress Report, talking about energy, climate change and agriculture, and how they are all opportunities to generate wealth for more Africans.

Michael Jackson's Beer Companion
Author: Michael Jackson
Paperback: 288 pages
Publisher: Running Press (1993); out-of-print
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1-56138-288-4

********************
▶ "Civilization began not with wine, but with beer, argues Michael Jackson. The world's leading writer on beer, Jackson has long championed beer as one of the great civilized drinks. Full of original insights and quirky observation, 'Michael Jackson's Beer Companion' provides authoritative information on brews and breweries, as well as expert tasting notes and vivid travel writing.
Like wines, beers have their own traditional styles, which form a universal vocabulary for beer tasting and appreciation. Jackson identifies 41 such styles and traces them from their European origins to areas as diverse as Seattle and Sydney. Ranging from hoppy British bitters to the dark lagers of South Germany, from the classic Pilsners of Bohemia to the arcane fruit beers of Flanders, Jackson profiles more than 150 breweries as benchmarks of excellence. these are the great beers of the world, and among the old favorites is a wealth of new classics ripe for discovery.
Jackson's infectious enthusiasm for his subject extends to the convivial partnerships between beer and food —when beer is an accompaniment to an excellent meal, or a cooking ingredient itself."
**********************
▶ Michael Jackson was a Yorkshire newspaperman who promulgated, in several books, the concept of beer type or beer style, based on geography and tradition, ingredient and process. A novel idea in 1977, 'beer style' is now well-established, if often twisted beyond Jackson's original premise.
▶ Born on 27 March 1942, Michael Jackson died on 30 August 2007, at age 65, of complications associated with Parkinson's Disease.
