A U.S. Soldier assigned to the 173rd Airborne Brigade practices sequences on the Mk 19 automatic grenade launcher before testing on the weapon lane at Grafenwöhr Training Area, Grafenwöhr, Sept. 19, 2025. Weapon lanes are 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.
