Lt. Governor Anthony Brown brings remarks to JHU Armstrong Institute's forum on Patient Safety by Brian K. Slack at Baltimore, MD
GRAFENWOEHR, Germany – On 20 March more than 200 U.S. and NATO Soldiers arrived from across Europe to test for the Expert Field Medical Badge (EFMB). Today, 30 March Sixty-three emerged to accept the Badge from Col. Brian Almquist, Commander, 212th Combat Support Hospital and hearty congratulations from Keynote Speaker Brig. Gen. Phillip Jolly, Deputy Commanding General Mobilization and Reserve Affairs Director Army Reserve Engagement Cell, at the Grafenwoehr Tower Barracks Gym after completing a relentless 12-mile ruck march. The EFMB 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 badge is considered the medical equivalent of the Expert Infantryman's Badge (EIB) but is statistically harder to earn. 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.
