A U.S. Soldier assigned to the 173rd Airborne Brigade grabs ammunition for the M2 .50 caliber machine gun while participating in a weapons training lane as part of the initial education and training phase of the upcoming Expert Infantry Badge (EIB) and Expert Soldier Badge (ESB) test at Grafenwöhr Training Area, Grafenwöhr, Germany, Sept. 14, 2025. This lane is part of the EIB and ESB testing, collectively known as E2B, which tests candidates’ physical and mental abilities while executing critical tasks. The week-long testing event, from Sept. 18-23, includes a fitness assessment, land navigation, Soldier tasks and a 12-mile ruck march that participants must pass to earn their badge.
