I think I've pretty successfully wikified this article, but it would benefit greatly from some details about the history of the badge (when it was concieved, how it has looked over the years, which award it replaced, etc.) so I've added a stub tag for the time being.

• Excellent job fleshing out the article, anonymous guy 24.18.22.123. You should really consider registering. Between you and I and a few others, we created a highly polished Wikipedia article from scratch in a day. Fernando Rizo 23:01, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Army nomenclature

Army regs cap all first letters of the CAB according to info from the Institute of Heraldry. The page move also fixed several redirect problems. Hope nobody minded. BTW- great article, couldnt have done it better myself! :-) -Husnock 02:24, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy

Is it neccesary to call us REMFS? We take casualties too. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.211.46.187 (talk) 01:22, 13 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Wear on Air Force Unifrom

I was awarded the CAB when I served in the Army during OIF. I later joined the Air National Gurad and found out that it can be worn on Air Force uniform. While I havent seen it in the regs, many of my fellow airmen that were prior service army wear the CAB or CIB on both BDU's and Dress uniform.
