What unit awards are authorized to wear in fourth brigade first ID second battalion 16th infantry regment?
Q: Are you referring to WW2 or Modern army? There was no "4th brigade" in WW2. The unit you ask about appears to be 2nd Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division. I believe the current 1st Infantry Division is divided into brigades. The 2nd Battalion, 16th Infantry has the following US unit awards: Presidential Unit Citation (Army) for MATEUR, TUNISIA, Presidential Unit Citation (Army) for SICILY, Presidential Unit Citation (Army) for NORMANDY, Presidential Unit Citation (Army) for HURTGEN FOREST,Presidential Unit Citation (Army) for HAMICH, GERMANY, Valorous Unit Award IRAQ-KUWAIT (Desert Storm 1991), Company C additionally entitled to: Valorous Unit Award for COURTENAY PLANTATION A soldier currently serving in 2-16 Infantry would wear a Presidential Unit Citation with 4 oak leaf clusters and the Valorous Unit Award, additionally soldiers assigned to Charlie Company would wear one oak leaf cluster on the Valorous Unit Award. Soldiers that were assigned to the unit during the timeframe during which an award was earned may wear that award after leaving the unit.

The length of your tour isn't really determined by your MOS, but by your unit and the mission.
