The Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB) is a United States Army decoration awarded to soldiers who fought in active ground combat as members of either an infantry or Special Forces unit, of brigade size or smaller, any time after 6 December 1941. The award is given only to soldiers at the rank of colonel and below.
The CIB and its non-combat contemporary, the Expert Infantryman Badge (EIB), were created in November 1943 during World War II to boost morale and increase the prestige of infantry service. It recognizes the inherent danger and sacrifice of infantrymen, who face greater risk of being becoming a casualty than any other military occupational specialty.
