	AWARDED RIBBONS - Combat Action Ribbon - USS BENNINGTON
		Combat Action Ribbon of the Navy and Marine Corps was instituted in 1969.
		The principal eligibility criterion is that the individual must have participated in a bona fide ground or surface combat fire fight or action during which he was under enemy fire and his performance while under fire was satisfactory.
		The Combat Action Ribbon will not be awarded to personnel for aerial combat since the Strike/Flight Air Medal provides recognition for aerial combat exposure; however, a pilot or crewmember forced to escape or evade after being forced down could be eligible for the award.

	Combat Recognition Ribbon at AllExperts (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.isi.jhu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Combat Recognition Ribbon was a tentative military award of the United States Army which was first proposed in the mid 1980s as an Army equivalent to the United States Navy's Combat Action Ribbon.
		The Combat Recognition Ribbon was initially proposed as an award for Army personnel who had served in combat situations, but for a variety of reasons had failed to meet the criteria for the Combat Infantryman Badge.
		The Combat Action Badge creation was approved by the U.S. Army on May 2nd, 2005 and can be retroactively awarded to soldiers who engaged in combat after September 18th, 2001.

		Ribbons are wore in rows of three, with the oldest at the bottom right, and the newest at the top left.
		Also note that although the LTJG may have received his nine month service ribbon (the one at the bottom left) after he received either of the two on the top row, it stays where it is, on the bottom left of all his ribbons.
		Note that upgrading a ribbon, either through becoming a Fleet CO after being an XO, or receiving an award again, and thus a bronze star, does not cause the ribbon to be moved.

	Combat Action Badge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Combat Action Badge (or CAB) is a military badge worn in the U.S. Army.
		The CAB was originally planned as a ribbon which was to have been known as the "Combat Recognition Ribbon".
		However, as ribbons are generally seen as less prestigious than medals and badges, the CAB was then proposed as the "Close Combat Badge" (or CCB), thus granting the award badge status vice ribbon.

		The light blue in the ribbon -- and in all emblems of the United Nations -- was selected as a hue that did not appear in the flag of any member nation at that time of its creation.
		The blue-and-whilte ribbon design is common to all the various medals, except that the Turkish version often is seen with a simple dark red ribbon replacing the blue-and-white version, a symbolic rejection of a color scheme the Turks perceived as representing the flag of historical rival Greece.
		Personnel engaged in combat or a duty which is equally as hazardous, qualify for award without regard for time in the area.

		Since you can't receive the Combat Award ask if he could put you in for the Army Commendation Medal or the Army Achievement Medal (prepare to provide him the facts for the write-up) instead as recognition of you contribution to his unit.

		Adding insult to injury, Armor officer leaders of identical TOE organizations in air cavalry squadrons, assigned to airborne and airmobile divisions, were awarded the CIB by their division commanders.
		The issue of the Combat Armor Badge (CAB) really grew contentious because so many Armor officers and officers of other branches were awarded the CIB in Vietnam for serving as advisors to the Vietnamese army (in practically any capacity), or were simply assigned as staff officers in U.S. infantry divisions.
		Instead, use that energy to promote a combat action badge (or ribbon with branch accoutrement or color) for all those who actually deserve it, whatever their branch or MOS.
