Yes, and a lot of 11M soldiers got it in Operation Desert Storm.
You must have an Infantry or Special Forces MOS, be assigned to an Infantry or Special Forces unit and engage in direct combat with the enemy to earn the CIB.

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.

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.

Did World War 2 Artillerymen qualify for the Combat Infantry Badge?
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.
If you switch from active to reserve Army can you still wear Expert Infantry Badge?

The Expert Infantry Badge is a mark of distinction earned by infantry soldiers who demonstrate exceptional proficiency in their field, regardless of active or reserve status.
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.
