Soldiers Test To Earn Their EIB At Fort Benning

More than 400 Soldiers gathered at Fort Benning with their sights set on a single mission: earning their Expert Infantryman Badge.

Hosted by the Black Lions of Task Force 1-28, the rigorous event was conducted over the course of five days. These Soldiers, from both Fort Stewart and Fort Benning, underwent a week of training and a week of rehearsals before finally taking the test.

The EIB is a testament to a mastery of critical individual Infantry skills -- skills that allow them to locate, close with and destroy the enemy. Only the most Infantry-proficient Soldiers prevailed and earned the badge.
