Combat action ribbon from the marines you are in the army now and have combat action badge do you wear a star on the cab or wear the cab and the car?
Whatever badge/ribbon you are awarded, you rate to wear it, no matter what branch of service you are in.
Was the combat action ribbon ever awarded to an Army unit not under direction of the Marines or Navy?
No. The Combat Action Ribbon is awarded through the Navy and Marine Corps and is specific to those branches. In order for someone in the Army to wear the CAR, they are going to be awarded under direction of the respective branch. The Coast Guard also has their own CAR but with a slight difference in the center.

How do you wear combat action ribbon on army dress uniform?
The same as you would wear any other awarded ribbon on the Army dress uniform. I have attached a link to this question to further assist you.
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.
