Well, I thought it over. This has all the makings for an abused award. Limiting it to some MOS's wont work. I know lot of guys who ran on convoys that I wouldn't have wanted to be with. Then we would need a combat truck driver badge. What about a radio operator with the infantry, A combat signal badge. If you were in Mosul when the mortars hit the mess hall we would need a combat cook badge. The list could go on and on.

There are currently three combat badges, the CIB, the CMB and Jump wings with an embedded bronze star indicating a combat jump. I don't think we need another badge. B U T, I do think possibly a modification to the CIB regs allowing Artillery FO teams the CIB may be in order and I am not sure about that. Past that if you want a combat badge I think you should volunteer to be in the infantry or a medic.
