Post; CCB Replaced by CAB


Well after some searching I found that the CCB has been replaced already! It's replacement is call the Combat Action Badge (CAB).
Here's part of an article from Stars & Stripes:

ARLINGTON, Va. — The “Close Combat Badge,” a controversial Army award created for soldiers with “combat” in their official job description, is dead.

In its place is a new “Combat Action Badge” or CAB, and its criteria is simple:

You are an American soldier assigned to a combat zone.

The bullets start to fly.

You fight back, as you were trained to do.
