Expert Infantryman Badge
Where this one stands
EIB prep is on the roadmap and not open yet, and the blocker here is unusually concrete. Several editions of the governing standards have been in circulation at the same time, and testing units have not all been working from the same one. A bank cited to the wrong edition is worse than no bank at all: it is confidently wrong, in a candidate’s hands, wearing a citation that makes it look checked. So the edition gets confirmed first, and the reference list appears on this page when it is.
Common questions
When does EIB prep open?
There is no date. The specific thing standing in the way is edition drift: more than one version of the governing standards has been in use at once, and a question cited to a superseded one would tell a candidate the wrong standard while looking sourced.
What will EIB questions be written against?
The governing standards for the badge, once we have confirmed which edition is current and actually in use. Until then this page names no publication, because naming one we had not verified would be the exact failure the whole site is built to avoid.
Is this the same as Expert Soldier Badge prep?
No. They are separate badges and they get separate banks here, not one bank relabelled. Which badge you are eligible to test for is a question for your chain of command and the governing standards, not for us. What we control is that neither page borrows the other’s questions.
