CIB

For CIB we have terms and definitions in 2 topics. The topics are Military and Vietnam War.



CIB (Military)

Combat Infantrymen's Badge. Once rare and respected, now common and not nearly so. Being in actual combat is no longer necessary to get one: one need only be in a combat zone. Multiple awards are designated by extra stars over the wreathed rifle. The fact that certain operations may earn a first badge, but not a star, illustrates the dilution of the award.
