EFMB is not just an individual badge, but a team engagement. The team over at TAMC makes hitting that target look easy. They’ve added 24 badge holders to their ranks so far in FY23. Keep building these type of leaders.

Congrats to SPC Salas, SPC Derbis and SFC Fields. Not only did they earn the coveted EFMB this past April, but they were also all 1st time GO’s.

Here's a challenge:
1. Who is this Army Medicine Soldier?
2. What competition was this photo taken at?
3. What has this Soldier accomplished since then?
#1 is too easy!

These MEDCOM Soldiers are a class act. SGT Kim (SHARP Writing award), SPC Venegas (Honor Graduate), SGT Crisafi (Distinguished Honor Graduate), and SPC Yu (Commandants list) from MEDDAC Ft. Carson swept the board at their BLC. Congrats Leaders! Stay Hungry, Stay Motivated!

1SG Crowfoot, from Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, is a true example of what it means to lead from the front as he competes to get his EFMB. Good luck to all Soldiers competing in E3B!
Continue striving for excellence. It is a habit not an act.

Army Medicine Soldiers are well-trained in their Warrior Tasks and Medical Skills.

Sometimes I sit back in awe, especially when I see training like this happening with our Army Medicine Soldiers. The will and perseverance of our Leaders and Soldiers are like none other. Every task and challenge given they dominate and take names! #armymedicineisarmystrong

Great representation by Senior AMEDD leaders across the enterprise, to include MEDCOM’s own Chief of Staff, MG Place. Excited to have our Allied Partners from the United Kingdom and Australia at Project Convergence 22 to test the latest medical advancements.

If you have attended the Critical Care Flight Medic Course, you know the physical and mental challenges that come with it. Not only did SGT Oalmann pass she also made the Commandant’s List… but wait… there’s more she ALSO received an AAM for the best presentation in her class.

In 2020, MEDCOM won Top Soldier of the Year. In 2022, we are back at it again! Our very own SGT Paulson from BJACH won NCO of the Year at the Best Squad Competition. Are you surprised? I’m not. Can’t stop won’t stop. Congratulations SGT Paulson! #armymedicineisarmystrong

Today we recognized Ms. Latasha Turner, Telecommunications Specialist, for her dedication to success of the MEDCOM. She sets the standard high with a positive attitude and picks up the call whenever needed, nights and weekends included.

That hill has nothing on Army Medicine. We stay READY! Congrats SGM Buma (G-3/5/7), on achieving a 594 ACFT! #armymedicineisarmystrong

Look out Ft. Carson, CSM Steele is coming to you triple-stacked. She is ready to build the next generation with training, dedication, and a whole lotta cold steel.

Q: What do SUCCESS and FAILURE have in common?
A: Neither is permanent! As leaders, we must constantly level up for our Soldiers and our Squads. #buildthem to “fail forward” and power past setbacks and disappointment.

There are some who claim that today’s Soldiers aren't as tough, disciplined, or physically fit as they used to be. These @ArmyMedicine Warriors (including CSMs) spent weeks in the Benning heat debunking that ridiculous myth:

People are always asking if our command team chemistry is real. When your leader is also your teammate and you forge a bond that feels like family, that’s what the TIMS Golden Triangle is all about. #dynamicduo #ThisIsMySquad @LTGDingle @16thSMA

Besides the NCO Creed, the essence of this passage is perhaps the most important for NCOs to internalize. When you wear chevrons, there is no "them", "they", or "the Army"..."they" is YOU. We are the Decisive Element!

This is what it's all about. Tough, realistic, squad-level training not only propels our Warriors to overcome obstacles and their fears, it teaches them that they don't have to do it alone...on the battlefield or anywhere else. #TIMS #buildthem #ArmyMedicineisArmyStrong
