What is the Expert Soldier Badge and who can earn it?
The Expert Soldier Badge is the expertise badge for Soldiers who are not eligible for the Expert Infantryman Badge or the Expert Field Medical Badge. It is earned by passing a demanding standardized test of physical fitness, weapons, land navigation, and warrior tasks. It is a special skill badge, not a combat badge.
