Congratulations to SGT Charles Dias and SGT Keidi Pacheco on successfully earning the prestigious Expert Field Medical Badge (EFMB) - one of the most challenging and respected achievements in the US Army Medical Department.

Competing medics went through a physical fitness lane, day and night land navigation, tactical combat casualty and evacuation lanes and a timed 12-mile road march with a 35lb rucksack as the culminating event. The event was held in Baumholder, Germany with 114 competing Soldiers and a 27% graduation rate.
