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.
