What is army eib?

The Expert Infantryman Badge (EIB) is a military badge of the United States Army and is awarded to infantrymen who pass a series of grueling tests and a 12-mile road march. The EIB became a permanent award in 1944 after an initial trial period and is still considered highly prestigious. The tests involve weapons handling, first aid, map reading, and navigation, and other skills essential for the infantry soldier. The test is designed to be challenging and demanding as it is a recognition of those who possess the highest level of proficiency in their trade. EIB holders are also frequently called upon to mentor and train others, thereby reinforcing the Army's high standards of expertise.
