Yes. The CAB (along with the CIB and EIB) is a Category 1 badge, of which only one may be worn. The CMB is a Category 2 badge, and can be worn along with a Category 1 badge.

Can you wear the combat action badge and the combat medic badge on acus?
Yes, and we were able to do the same with the BDU/DCU uniforms (once the CAB came into existence). The CAB is a Category 1 badge, whereas the CMB is a Category 2 badge.
Can one wear the EIB and the CAB at the same time?
NO. Army Regulation 670-1 specifies that only one badge from group one can be worn at a time. Group one consists of the EIB, CIB and CAB. Combat badges take precedence over skill badges. A soldier having earned both the EIB and CIB must wear the CIB. A soldier having earned both the CIB and CAB may choose which one to wear.
Can an army medic wear the combat action badge?
Yes. Unlike the Combat Infantryman Badge, Expert Infantryman Badge, and Combat Action Badge - which are Group I awards - the Combat Medic and Expert Field Medic Badges are Group II awards. The CAB was intended for personnel who are not eligible for the Combat Infantryman Badge. Contrary to what was previously stated, not everyone who serves in an Infantry unit is eligible for a CIB. A Combat Medic in an Infantry unit does not get awarded a CIB, for example. If that unit has dedicated communications personnel assigned to the unit, they're not eligible for the CIB (however, someone with an 11B MOS who is serving as a radiotelephone operator is eligible for a CIB). One interesting contrast with the CAB vs. the CIB and CMB is that the CAB is awarded - at least in theory - only to those who make direct contact with the enemy, whereas the only requirements for the CIB and CMB is that you spend 30 days in a zone for which the award is authorised, whether you make contact or not. Truth of the matter is, there are plenty of CAB recipients who have legitimately earned it - there's also a good number of fobbits who've received them because some mortars landed on the opposite side of the camp they were at. By the way, the Combat Medic badge is no longer exclusive to line medics - from 2001 to 2004, the Army revamped it's MOS classification system. The MOS of 91B (Combat Medic) was removed, and was folded into the MOS of 68W (Healthcare Specialist) - which encompasses a much broader range than the old 91B MOS did. Thus, you have medics being awarded CMBs who've never so much as left the FOB.
Is the CAB a skill badge?
Yes, in the same sense that a CIB or CMB is.
Can the cib and cmb be worn together on the acu's?
It is possible. Good example is; - Soldier was a Combat Medic for a Ranger Battalion. - Soldier deployed with unit to the Gulf War and received the CMB - Soldier later reclassed to Infantry - Soldier then deployed with an infantry unit to GWOT and received CIB. Type your answer here...
Can you wear the Expert Infantryman badge if you have a combat infantryman badge?
You can only wear one at a time - they can't be worn together. With or without a CIB, the only way you'd be authorised to wear the EIB is if you've tested for and were awarded it. If you havn't done this, you can't wear the EIB, even if you have a CIB.
When was CMB Televisión created?

YouTubehow many cmb awarded to mds in Vietnam?
During the war, every unit went to the field with a medic, even tank units had medics riding on them. So that would make thousands of medics. See a medic in Vietnam website; they'll more than likely have a number of combat medic badges issued during the war. Those badges may or may not have been created during the Vietnam War. The infantryman's CIB was created in 1944 (WWII).
What army regulation state that the combat medic authorized to received a combat action badge?
Medics cannot receive CABs (Combat Action Badge). Instead, they receive the CMB (Combat Medical Badge) for treating wounded soldiers in a combat situation.
