A U.S. Soldier assigned to the 173rd Airborne Brigade ties burlap sack strips onto his rifle for concealment during testing at the camouflage lane at Grafenwöhr Training Area, Grafenwöhr, Germany, Sept. 18, 2025. The camouflage lane is part of the Expert Infantryman Badge (EIB) and Expert Soldier Badge (ESB) testing, collectively known as E2B, which tests candidates' physical and mental abilities while executing critical individual 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.
