No, you only wear one Category I badge.
If he's under fire, yes. The Army has a special case: if a medic assigned to an infantry unit treats a patient under enemy action, he will receive the Combat Medical Badge rather than the Combat Action Badge. Medics in non-infantry units will receive the Combat Action Badge.
Anyone who is fired upon and/or returns fire. Specifically, as the citation reads, 'engages or is engaged by the enemy.' Those eligible for the Combat Infantry Badge or the Combat Medical Badge are ineligible.
Combat infantry badge
Combat Action Badge was created on 2005-05-02.
No, you cannot. You have to be classed as infantry to earn the EIB..................................................Another Answer:EIB is the Expert Infantryman Badge that was given to almost everyone in basic that passed the course. It did not matter what job you had.The CIB Combat Infantryman Badge was given to those that were in combat infantry situations. You did not have to be in the infantry to receive either award.
No. They would receive a Combat Action Ribbon. If ever they transferred to the Army, then they'd be eligible to wear the CIB or CAB in lieu of their Combat Action Ribbon.
No.My dad was an artilleryman and a forward observer assigned to an infantry division. Even though he went out on patrols with the infantry, he was not qualified for the Combat Infantryman's Badge. Only soldiers who had a rating as an infantrymancould earn the CIB. Medics were eventually issued a medic badge, but the artilleryman never got a badge.As a side-note, artillery spotters would be flown on in light aircraft to observe the enemy positions. They were awarded the Air Medal for these flights.Custermen*side note*The army has finally decided to give artillerymen an award for combat service. The Combat Action Badge (CAB) is not strictly for artillerymen, but is meant for troops who are involved in combat but are not infantry. The creation of this badge is the result of IED's and the need to recognize troops who would not normally be involved in combat (truck drivers, mechanics, etc). This is the only badge artillerymen are currently awarded and its a shame that we do not have combat artillery badge.
No, you cannot.
Yes. If you have earned the Combat Action Badge (CAB) you can wear it on your Class A uniform.
No. Army Regulation 670-1 forbids it. They are in the same class of awards.
Medics cannot receive CABs (Combat Action Badge). Instead, they receive the CMB (Combat Medical Badge) for treating wounded soldiers in a combat situation.
