GRAFENWOEHR, Germany. – 28 March: The field begins to narrow as participants from across the U.S. military, as well as Soldiers from NATO countries begin testing today in the Grafenwoehr Training Area (GTA). Nearly one-third of the participants went “No-Go” Monday, 27 March. The remaining will continue testing in pursuit of the Expert Field Medical Badge (EFMB). Testing ends 30 March, 2017. The pass rate is traditionally less than 18 percent.
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.

GRAFENWOEHR, Germany. (May 6, 2017) – Medics from the Grafenwoehr Health Clinic sort order out of chaos and take charge as injured Soldiers arrive at the clinic during a Multinational Trauma Life Support and Emergency Medical Evacuation (MEDEVAC) training exercise 6 May on Tower Barracks. Assessing, prioritizing and moving the injured into the clinic for stabilization and preparation for helicopter transfer to larger facilities in the city of Amberg, 25 miles south. The exercise was conducted in two phases, the first taking place in Grafenwoehr and built around a scenario wherein mock-injured Soldiers involved in a live-fire training accident in the adjacent Grafenwoehr Training Area (GTA) are rushed to the Grafenwoehr Health Clinic for immediate treatment and triage after an explosive device malfunctions. The mock casualties were then MEDEVAC’ed to the larger German partner medical facilities located 27 miles away in the city of Amberg.
