Combat Infantryman Badge – 2nd Award

The Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB) 2nd Award is one of the most distinguished decorations in the U.S. Army, reserved exclusively for infantry and Special Forces officers and enlisted soldiers who have been personally present and under hostile fire during two separate periods of armed conflict. The second award is denoted by a single star above the musket on the standard CIB design.

First established in 1943 by General George C. Marshall to recognize the unique hardships of the infantryman in close combat, the CIB remains the preeminent combat badge of the U.S. Army — a mark of valor worn with deep pride by those who have earned it twice over.
