How does one earn the German qualification badge while on deployment? What steps do I take to get a slot at the range?

Aside from coordination with the German Liaison Officer, stated in the thread by MAJ Brian Maurelli, Ensure soldiers get orders to wear the badge. No orders, then you can't wear it. Work with your S1/G1 for this.

Thank you, Sir. I am tracking the orders process. I planted my seeds and made friendly connections at S1 to ensure paperwork goes through, lol. i just need to make sure to get on that range when i get to the sand box.

SGT (Join to see) work through your training NCO to coordinate with the German Liaison Officer. They can schedule and administer the tests.

That would equal how many PME points? Would there be any benefit to your status as an American Soldier? A promotion board would say, '?'.

As far as I am tracking, there aren't any points for foreign awards, CSM. For me, it's one those "check the block" things, plus I always wanted to see/try what other countries' armed forces use in combat.
