I believe that Kosovo was appended to the GWOT era of conflicts.

Yes. Back in those warring states, it was more common than not that survivors of those hellacious conflicts were awarded a CIB per conflict. Today, not so much unless you fought in Just Cause, Desert Storm, the GWOT and/or an undisclosed location where you earned it.

Short Answer: Yes
Longer Answer: Well yeah, that's why they make the CIB with stars on it, for additional awards.

If I am not mistaken their are periods for the award, the Vietnam era ended after the Panama Invasion. SO if you were from that Era, and then went to Desert Storm, yes, which is why you would have a CIB with a star above it.

Yes and no. In 1991, you could get a star, in 1995, they took away the star and made it all the same award.

At least I think that is the timeline. The only awards&decorations regs I can find online date to 1995 when they declared the Vietnam era over.
