____________________________________________
Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB) (US Army)


History.

(1) The Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB) was established by the War Department on 27 October 1943. Lieutenant General Lesley J. McNair, then the Army Ground Forces commanding general, was instrumental in its creation. He originally recommended that it be called the "fighter badge." The CIB was designed to enhance morale and the prestige of the "Queen of Battle." Then Secretary of War Henry Stinson said, "It is high time we recognize in a personal way the skill and heroism of the American infantry."

(2) Originally, the Regimental Commander was the lowest level at which the CIB could be approved and its award was retroactive to 7 December 1941. There was a separate provision for badge holders to receive a $10 per month pay stipend, which was rescinded in 1948. Several factors led to the creation of the CIB, some of the most prominent factors are as follows:

(a) The need for large numbers of well-trained infantry to bring about a successful conclusion to the war and the already critical shortage of infantrymen.

(b) Of all soldiers, it was recognized that the infantryman continuously operated under the worst conditions and performed a mission which was not assigned to any other soldier or unit.

(c) The infantry, a small portion of the total Armed Forces, was suffering the most casualties while receiving the least public recognition.

(d) General Marshall's well known affinity for the ground forces soldier and, in particular, the infantryman. All these factors led to the establishment of the CIB, an award which would provide special recognition of the unique role of the Army infantryman, the only soldier whose daily mission is to close with and destroy the enemy and to seize and hold terrain. The badge was intended as an inducement for individuals to join the infantry while serving as a morale booster for infantrymen serving in every theater.

It arguably the most coveted badge an Infantry soldier can receive. It is a helluva lot easier to get in real life than any badge in BF2. All you have to do is get shot at by the enemy with direct fire (not artillery)! (not to be confused with the purple heart!)lol

I consider myself a ground pounder, although I have been getting better in the Air and I love the Little Bird.  I also have been known to whore it up a bit in the armor.

I'll never fly planes... I got a purple heart when I was going for my basic badge.

15,000 flag caps is fuxxin amazing dude... do you play on 32 or less servers a lot?  I've spent at least seventy percent of my play time in 64 person servers on the ground.

:::Kills:::
Helicopter: 1688
Transport: 1797
Armor: 4273

Weapons: 17,272
Equipment: 3,548

maybe we should start a like offical ground pownders union or somthing, i'm willing to get some names.

infantry all the way

infantry is what wins battles,

ive got %91 of all kills on the ground, cant stand armour............

currently working on moving that 91% up to like 95%

although my stats are still noobified from when i first got the game here they are:

+1 to the OP.  My ratio isn't as good as some of yours (about 1 vehicle kill to 3 weapon kills), but I'm still respectable

Nice to see a thread for ground pounders, but we don't want to hear you brag about your stats either.

I think groundpounders play a huge role, but so do planes and choppers.  Taking flags is one thing, holding bases is another.  A game can't be won with only groundpounding (unless its a city map) or just airpower (unless its Wake).
