Validity: While sometimes perceived as improper, they are not inherently illegal if everyone listed is, in fact, entitled to the award. However, regulations require that a soldier must be personally present and under hostile fire while serving in an infantry role.

STFU

Requirements for Valid CIB Awarding:

• Individual Qualification: The soldier must be an infantry/Special Forces MOS, assigned to an infantry unit, and actively engaged in ground combat.
• Documentation: Unlike medals, the CIB often uses "extract" orders covering several members.

Go argue with the army.

You were using it to claim everyone in a unit would receive it.  There is no such thing.  Only those who were actively in combat would get one.  You just hate the fact that Hegseth actually earned it.

Answering this one question correctly will get me to stop posting until Thurs:

Even under "blanket" CIB orders did the recipients actively engage in combat with the enemy?  Yes or no?

Bull ****.  There is no such thing as blanket CIB orders that would award a CIB to an entire unit of soldiers who did not engage in combat.

I didn't lie.  Even under the blanket CIB orders the recipients had to actively participate in combat.  Which is the argument.  Not just hear it, not just be near it,  not just in a unit they are assigned to a combat zone.  You can not award it to someone who was not actively engaged in ground combat. Meaning Hegseth was actively engaged in ground combat.  Contrary to YOUR lie.

Because I have actually posted sources that tell you.  Like the army:

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.
