Final answer:
No, Soldiers cannot be awarded the CIB, CMB, and CAB for the same qualifying period as each badge recognizes different service in combat and are not typically awarded concurrently for the same event or time period.
Step-by-step explanation:
Soldiers cannot be awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB), Combat Medical Badge (CMB), and Combat Action Badge (CAB) for the same qualifying period. Each of these badges recognizes different types of service in combat situations, and while they are not mutually exclusive across a soldier's career, the U.S. Army regulation typically prevents being awarded multiple of these for the same event or time period. In practice, a soldier who meets the criteria for more than one of these would receive the one most appropriate to their role and actions during the specific event.
