Soldiers of the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), are awarded the Expert Infantryman Badge (EIB) at Fort A.P. Hill, Va., Nov. 3, 2017. Established in 1943, the EIB is awarded to Army personnel who hold Infantry or Special Forces Military Occupational Specialities. Soldiers must complete a number of prerequisites and pass a battery of tests on basic infantry skills, including areas such as day and night land navigation, first aid, patrol lane tasks and moving under direct fire. The annual test is capped off by a 12-mile foot march, which Soldiers must complete in three hours while carrying an M4 and wearing more than 40 pounds of combat gear. (U.S. Army Photo by Pfc.
