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.

∙ 15y agoyou can wear any ribbon or combat/action award that is ON your record. Check your records to see what you have been awarded.. If the question is "if you have earned the Combat Action Ribbon in the Navy/Marine Corps, can you change it to the Combat Action Badge when you change over to the Army?" the answer is No. You may continue to wear the Combat Action Ribbon on your Army uniform, but you may not 'convert' it into either the CIB or CAB. *The Navy/Marine Corps allows conversion of the CIB/CAB into the CAR - see your personnel section for the proper documentation & proceedures. I said whatever award is on YOUR record is what you are authorized to wear. If awarded the 'combat action badge', that is what can be worn. Nothing in regulations allow changing one award for another.......regardless of branch of service.......
