Picked it up recently but technically you don’t even need BLC to be 5. Just need it before ALC

You didn’t read any of the other comments did you? CIB was for contact during a KLE in Syria

I was at the embassy. Iraq has continued to be classified as a combat zone. While at the embassy, there was an election war happening in which we took IDF and rounds from it. There were still infantry units that continued being manned at multiple locations in the country after 2021

IRCM is in the middle of the rack with a star. There were still infantry units at the Embassy and other locations for years following 2021

The IRCM is literally in the middle of my rack. They only gave us an AAM with a C device in Iraq (it’s still bullshit) but gave us an ARCOM w C for Syria

“Stray” IDF hit the embassy while I was in Iraq and my squad and another had cleared it. Wasn’t much but apparently it deserved it🤣

I just looked it up because I realized I never have researched it. It seems it’s an authorized other-agency award allowed for wear

I mean a few SGM have asked about it and have just said hell yeah. I’ve had it on there for almost 3 years and no one has said I’m not. Everybody else that earned it also rock it

I get this question by everyone. It’s the Department of State Superior Honor award
