The Infantry Combat Badge (ICB) is awarded to a serving member of the Australian Army for service as an infantryman in warlike operations.

The badge was first established in July 1970 to recognise this unique role and the particular training, skills and hardships attendant upon service as an infantryman. The role of the infantry is to seek out and be close with the enemy, to kill or capture him, to seize and to hold ground, to repel attack, by night and day, regardless of season, weather or terrain.

The ICB is only awarded for operational service commencing from the Korean War.

Means more than any other medal awarded to me.
