Question

How do you get a combat infantry badge with a star?

Answer 1

This link is much more detailed than the first. The Army does not do the best of jobs on their own sites, no fault of the young lady.

From what I have read it is very possible to have many now that should have up to 3 stars. Each deployment is a separate period of time.

SSG US Army 73-82

Answer 2

you need to be in a different campaign, not just a different country  

Answer 3

Check out this link:

http://www.army.mil/symbols/combatbadges...

It explains the different levels of the CIB.  

Answer 4

fire at and be fired upon in 2 different combat zones  

Answer 5

There are 5 conflicts which are authorized second awards of a CIB.

1. WW ll

2.Korean war

3.Vietnam war, includes - El Salvador; Grenada, and Panama

4. First gulf war

5. War on terrorism , Iraq or afghanistan.

You must have served in Infantry or Special Forces for the qualifying period during more than one of the 5 listed above, to recieve a 2nd or subsequent award.

So the most any individual could have now, is 3 awards of the CIB.

Answer 6

Well Im not in the Army,but my militry experianceand common sense tells me,you have to get a good qualification score,or have combat experiance,but im not EXACTLY sure
