CVMA Membership Combat is defined as serving within the TAO.  As to the CAR or CIB, the CIB is given strictly to infantry which meant a great many others who also served at the front or near it had to have some kind of award or notation in the service file to denote it.  The CAR is a Navy/Marine ribbon with no associated medal.  The requirements are to take fire and return fire during a hostile conflict. All the services have issued service medals for all the conflicts at least back to WWII that I am aware of. Suffice it to say you didn't have to be on the front line or in the bush to receive awards and combat pay.  But you could get killed just the same.
