Army soldiers took part in a series of tests to earn their Expert Field Medical Badge at Schofield Barracks yesterday. The badge recognizes soldiers who attain a high degree of professional skill and proficiency as field medics. The test began March 19 and ends March 30, and involved transporting a wounded soldier through a rugged and smoky obstacle course.
