Look at the outfit's (regimental) website; those normally list all of the "streamers" (campaign ribbons) earned by that particular unit. "If" the 1st of the 0 deuce was there, then it more than likely has earned at least one "campaign steamer" for "Iraqi Freedom."
It did serve in the Viet War however, and was stationed in I Corps (Camp Eagle, Camp Evans, Phu Bai AOs (Areas of Operations)

Can you get the cab transferred to a cib if you reclass to infantry?
No. To be awarded a CIB, you have to be Infantry at the time the award was received (although a lot of Cavalry could have been awarded the CIB, they ended up getting CABs due largely to internal politics of the Army, especially concerning Cav units which were attached to infantry brigades). Since you wouldn't be reclassing to infantry until after the award was made, you're still not eligible for a CIB.Former Marine Corps personnel who later join the Army and received the Combat Action Ribbon, however, are eligible to convert it to a CIB or CAB, depending on their MOS at the time it was awarded.
