1 3/4 inch (44mm) round. Nickel antique, enamel. Photo shows both sides of one coin. Officially licensed U.S. Army merchandise.
The bearer of this coin can show that he has been on the front lines defending America's freedom and liberty in every conflict around the world since World War II. The bearer of the Combat Infantry Badge has directly encountered enemy forces. The CIB is awarded to infantry or Special Forces soldiers up to the rank of colonel who have satisfactorily performed their duties while assigned as a member of an infantry/Special Forces unit, brigade or platoon. This policy was expanded in 1967 to award the CIB to infantry battalion and brigade commander's sergeants. Since 2005, Special Forces medical sergeants may choose the Combat Infantryman's Badge in place of the Combat Medical Badge. In 1943, Army General Leslie J. McNair, the Army's Chief of Staff, advocated for the establishment of the Combat Infantryman Badge and recommended that it be called the "Fighter Badge." With the goal of improving morale and enhancing the prestige of the "Queen," Secretary of War Henry Stinson stated at the time that it was "high time for personal recognition of the skill and heroism of the American infantryman." If you or someone you know can say anything that would be a disservice to defending the principles that make America great, this Combat Infantry Badge Challenge Coin is the ideal coin to carry. Discreetly displays the medal design. The bar is blue, the color associated with infantry. This musket is adapted from the infantry branch insignia, the 1795 Model Springfield Arsenal Musket, the first official shoulder arm of the United States. Oak symbolizes stability, strength, and loyalty. Struck in nickel using a special "splash-minting" process and finished with an antique finish, this Army Infantry Challenge Coin reproduces in enamel the colors of the Combat Infantry Badge.
