Qualification for the badge is considered a grueling experience by those who have earned the badge and the majority of participants do not make it to the final round. 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 EFMB is considered the medical equivalent of the Expert Infantryman's Badge, but is said to be harder to earn than the EIB. The Weed Army Community Hospital hosts and facilitates as well as oversees the qualification of events for Soldiers seeking to earn the badge at training areas within the NTC. The 122 Soldiers vying for the coveted badge come from posts near and far across the United States.
