It is Not worn on a combat uniform.<<< This is not true, the CIB is worn on the left side of the ACU (Army Combat Uniform) above the U.S. ARMY name tape.

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.
The EIB and the CIB are both military designations. When they have been earned, they can be worn. There is a limitation to the number of medals or ribbons that can be worn on a uniform.
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.
Why would you want to? The CAR means more to a Marine, and hold the equiv of an Army CIB. Also, you can NOT transfer a CAR to a CIB.
Technically, you have your own discretion to wear whichever one you choose. However, if you've been awarded a CIB, and choose instead to wear an EIB you've earned, you can expect your chain of command to not be particularly thrilled about it.
Yes, it can be transfered to a CIB, although I do believe you'll no longer be able to wear your CAR once this is done.
You can only wear one at a time - they can't be worn together. With or without a CIB, the only way you'd be authorised to wear the EIB is if you've tested for and were awarded it. If you havn't done this, you can't wear the EIB, even if you have a CIB.

Anyone can wear a cib, which stands for Combat Infantryman Badge. However, the badge is typically awarded to soldiers in the U.S. Army who have served in an infantry or Special Forces role and have actively engaged in combat.
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.
