Are non-infantry corps members of the Australian Army Training Team, Vietnam (AATTV) entitled to wear the ICB?
Yes. Non-infantry members of the AATTV may be awarded the ICB, but only in exceptional circumstances, where the operational service with AATTV was at least equivalent to that which entitled infantry corps members to receive the badge. This means that they must have served with a South Vietnam (SVN) operational Infantry battalion for, at least, 90 days with Royal Australian Infantry Corps colleagues who also received the ICB for such service. There must also be a recommendation from a Commanding Officer/Company Commander, or other appropriate senior person at the time, and who can also certify that the non-infantry AATTV member was employed with the SVN Infantry unit in a training adviser role for the period required.
