The blanket cib you repeatedly asserted doesn't exist?


Absolutely unbelievable. 

 

Not in the matter of awarding to EVERYONE in a unit if they did not actively engage in combat.  There is no such thing.  They still have to meet requirement. 

I'll let the Army tell you:

2)  Be assigned to an infantry unit during such time as the unit is engaged in active ground combat.
(a)  A recipient must be personally present and under hostile fire while serving in an assigned infantry or SF primary duty in a unit actively engaged in ground combat with the enemy. The unit in question must be a brigade, regiment, or smaller size. For example, personnel possessing an infantry MOS in a rifle squad of a cavalry platoon in a cavalry troop would be eligible for award of the CIB. Battle or CPC alone is not sufficient. The unit must have been in active ground combat with the enemy during the period.
