FMRB Update 06 Oct 99
The Field Medical Readiness Badge (FMRB) is a USPHS Commissioned
Officer award recognizing officers who have completed training for and have participated
in deployments. The eligibility criteria for the FMRB is currently under review
by the Office of Emergency Preparedness. Officers
already awarded the FMRB will not be affected by the new criteria, but pending FMRB
requests will be evaluated using the new criteria. As soon as more information is
available it will be posted here.
Where does the FMRB device come from?
DCP supplies the initial FMRB badge.
After that, the officer is responsible for buying extras/replacements. The only place that
currently carries them is the PHS Officers' Device Supply Center:
