CIB with 2 Stars

This reproduction of the IBC is made of metal with two pins. The Combat Infantryman Badge distinguishes men belonging to the infantry of the US Army from the Second World War, this weapon being according to it more likely to be confronted with the hardness of the fighting. To wear this decoration on his discharge jacket, the soldier must satisfy in the line of duty and actively engage the enemy during a period when he is embedded in an infantry unit engaged in battle. The starred version is worn when the BIC has been awarded three times. Starred versions were introduced in 1952.
