I don't know if the entire battalion received the Combat Action
Ribbon but I do know that H Co (redesignated L Co) did receive the
CAR. Most members of the battalion also received their Combat
Action Ribbon during Operation Iraqi Freedom I. They battalion has
since returned to Iraq in September/October of 2007. All but a
handful (those few who remained behind at Camp 15) of Marines in
3/23 received the Combat Action Ribbon for Desert Storm. Most
members of the battalion also received their Combat Action Ribbon
during Operation Iraqi Freedom I. They battalion has since returned
to Iraq in September/October of 2007.
