Answer :
Final answer:
Soldiers cannot be awarded the CIB, CMB, and CAB for the same qualifying period because each badge has separate eligibility criteria and recognizes different types of service within a combat zone. The correct option is 2) False.
Explanation:
The answer is false. Each of these awards has separate eligibility requirements and recognizes different types of service within a combat zone. The CIB is awarded to infantrymen and Special Forces soldiers who engage the enemy, the CMB is awarded to medical personnel who provide medical care to troops while under fire, and the CAB can be awarded to any soldier who performs satisfactorily under hostile fire or imminent threat. While a soldier may technically be eligible for each badge during their career, they cannot be awarded all three badges for the same qualifying period.
