Yes from 1969 to 1994 and for November 23rd 1983
What else can I help you with?
Does a corpsman treating a patient in a combat zone rate a 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.
Can you wear your combat infantry badge together with your combat action badge?
No, you only wear one Category I badge.
What does C.I.B. stand for?
Combat infantry badge
Was the army mos 11m eligible for the combat infantry mans badge?
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.
If you' re not infantry can you earn the expert infantry badge?
No, you cannot. You have to be classed as infantry to earn the EIB..................................................Another Answer:EIB is the Expert Infantryman Badge that was given to almost everyone in basic that passed the course. It did not matter what job you had.The CIB Combat Infantryman Badge was given to those that were in combat infantry situations. You did not have to be in the infantry to receive either award.
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.
Who has received the Combat Action Badge?
Anyone who is fired upon and/or returns fire. Specifically, as the citation reads, 'engages or is engaged by the enemy.' Those eligible for the Combat Infantry Badge or the Combat Medical Badge are ineligible.
Can air force enlisted men assigned to the army receive the combat infantry badge?
No, it's not an authorised Air Force award, and they wouldn't qualify for it anyhow, as the awarding of the CIB is pretty much restricted to infantry soldiers. The equivalent Air Force award is their own Combat Action Medal.
How do you place the air assault badge with the Combat infantry Badge and Marksmanship badge on the class A uniform?
On the left breast pocket on the left marksman badge goes on the right
What is a military CIB?
A CIB is a Combat Infantry Badge, you would receive this if you went to combat as an Infantry Soldier in the US Army. - - - - - Requirements to receive the CIB. 1. Must be an Infantryman or Special Forces soldier. Now Special Forces medics earn the CIB. Further, you must be a Colonel or below--if you don't have a CIB by the time you make general, you never will. 2. Must be assigned to an infantry unit at brigade level or below. 3. Must personally engage in infantry combat against an enemy.
If you are not an expert marksman can you still wear the badge cause you have an cib?
The Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB) is awarded to infantry personnel who have actively engaged in ground combat. It does not require expertise in marksmanship. Therefore, if you meet the qualification criteria for the CIB as an infantry soldier, you can wear the badge regardless of your marksmanship skills.
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.
