    Three military personnel are standing under a covered outdoor structure, wearing face masks. Two soldiers on the left are wearing German Bundeswehr desert camouflage uniforms with German flag patches and berets (one green, one black), while the soldier on the right wears what appears to be a US Army MultiCam/OCP uniform with a patrol cap. The setting appears to be a military base, likely in a desert or arid region based on the uniforms and environment.

    Maj. Jeff Vicuna (pictured right), German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge (GAFPB) planner, 1st Theater Sustainment Command, briefs competitors who will be competing in the GAFPB events on Camp Arifjan, Kuwait on 18 Sept., 2020.

    The German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge (GAFPB) is one of the few foreign awards authorized for wear on United States Army Soldier’s dress uniform. The GAFPB includes a basic fitness test featuring 11 shuttle sprints at 10-meters, a timed flexed-arm hang, and a 1,000 meter sprint. The GAFPB Combat Swim includes a 100 meter swim in the Army Combat Uniform and removal of the uniform upon completion while still treading water. The road march event of the GAFPB is a 12-kilometer ruck march carrying minimum of a 35-pounds performed in less than two hours. The German Armed Forces Badge weapon’s qualification event is comprised of a pistol marksmanship test at Udairi Range in Camp Buehring, Kuwait.
