Could a Marine attached to an Army infantry unit during combat operations wear the Combat Infantryman Badge?
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.
Can you wear your combat infantry badge together with your combat action badge?
No, you only wear one Category I badge.
Combat action ribbon from the marines you are in the army now and have combat action badge do you wear a star on the cab or wear the cab and the car?
Whatever badge/ribbon you are awarded, you rate to wear it, no matter what branch of service you are in.
Combat action ribbon you are now in the Army can you wear the combat action badge?
If you rate the CAR you will need to look up the uniform regs for the Army to see whether or not that is transferrable to their equivalent. My suspicion is no, you cannot wear the infantry badge, but I would suspect that you would still be authorized to wear the CAR on your ribbon rack while in uniform. The CAR is not convertable to a CIB or CAB in the Army. You may continue to wear the CAR on your Army uniform. The Navy/Marine Corps allows the conversion the other way because the badge is not authorized for wear on their uniforms. No. There are three requirements for award of a Combat Infantry Badge: Be in the US Army Infantry, or the Special Forces with any MOS except Special Forces Medic. (SF Medics are eligible for the Combat Medical Badge.) You must hold the rank of Colonel or below--generals cannot earn the CIB. Be assigned to a unit at brigade level or below. If you're assigned to Division or Corps headquarters, you can't earn the CIB. While so assigned, participate in combat against the enemy. Now, given that, if you joined the infantry you will get the opportunity to earn the CIB.
Does a corpsman treating a patient in a combat zone rate a combat action ribbon?
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.

Therefore, if you meet the qualification criteria for the CIB as an infantry soldier, you can wear the badge regardless of your marksmanship skills.
