Negative. The original school was at Jerico, Vermont and is run by NG. There is also the North Western Training Center in Alaska, ran by Active Army, which runs the Basic Military Mountaineering Course and awards the E identifier.

Isn't there a way to send it up the chain? There was that article in Army Times about creating a Master Infantry Badge for those who have obtained their CIB and EIB, as well as possibly a Master Medic Badge for those who have obtained their CMB and EMB.

There should be a way to get this to... Heraldry I guess? With enough support it could become a thing.

They are still working on finishing it. The school 3 OIC stated that it was still in the process for approval, waiting for the updates to the awards process. Still just limited to certain states in the Guard/Reserve for wear, and even then people still don't put it in the right order of precedence.
