MSG Private RallyPoint Member 633920 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>A gentleman in my VFW was deployed to Iraq as an Infantryman, and assigned to a Infantry unit. He was tasked to serve as a gunner on a supply convoy, and during the convoy, he was engaged by a target and in turn, engaged and eliminated the target. For his actions, he was awarded the CAB instead of the CIB. If he has papers to prove who he was assigned to (Infantry Co, etc.), is there a way to get the CAB changed to a CIB? 2015-05-01T09:58:12-04:00 MSG Private RallyPoint Member 633920

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Per 600-8-22, Military Awards, the CIB is for personnel with the 11B/11A MOS or AOC.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Was he an infantryman holding an infantryman slot on the MTOE?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>To get a CIB / CMB you have to be a member of an organization that is actively hunting and engaging the enemy. Just being an 11B is not good enough. <br /><br />Tell him to wear his CAB proudly. It is a top-line badge and ranks 3rd in the list.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Actually he DOES meet all criteria based on your provided information, and in fact, being that he was assigned to an infantry unit, the ONLY authorized badge would have been the CIB.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>And the appeal process would begin by gathering all those documents and contacting the Awards and Decorations Branch; the documentation would need to go through the chain of command, with a DA4187 endorsed by the first Brigadier General in the CoC,<br />(Recommending approval or disapproval will not stop the request from moving forward; all documents will be reviewed to ensure all criteria are met accordingly).
