Paratroopers across the 82nd Airborne Division finished a 12-mile road march and a weapons test to receive their E3B certification on Fort Bragg on April 7. A total of 371 paratroopers and soldiers from multiple units and locations successfully completed E3B training.
The E3B training tests soldiers’ skills to achieve the Expert Infantry Badge, Expert Soldier Badge and Expert Field Medical Badge, according to the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service.
