“Citizen Soldiers”
The Army National Guard is one of the oldest and most respected organizations in the United States. It has a rich history dating back to the American Revolution, when it was first formed to defend the newly independent nation.
Today, the Army National Guard is a vital part of our country's military forces, and it plays a critical role in protecting our homeland and safeguarding our freedoms. While serving their country in a vital national defense role, they often receive challenge coins during their weekend and yearly training or drill from the Commander.

Custom Challenge Coins Especially for Your Next Army National Guard Drill Weekend
During drill weekends, soldiers in the Army National Guard train to maintain their skills and keep their equipment ready. This training is essential to keeping the guard ready for deployment at a moment's notice. The type of training and drilling depends on the specific mission of the unit.
Some units may train primarily in combat operations, while others may focus on support functions such as engineering or medical services. Regardless of the focus, all Army National Guard units must be prepared to deploy anywhere in the world at a moment's notice.
During training and drill, Army National Guard soldiers hone their skills in a wide variety of disciplines. Because of the overlapping traditions of active-duty Army, Guard members also get challenge coins for excelling in the following:
- Expert marksman and marksmanship challenge coins
- Combat pistol and small arms tactics challenge coins
- Warrior and hand-to-hand combat challenge coins
- Field medicine challenge coins, and many more
In addition, Army National Guard units regularly conduct joint training exercises with other branches of the military, such as the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. This joint training ensures that the Army National Guard is prepared to operate seamlessly with other military forces in the event of a deployment.
It also means they stand to collect joint force and joint service command custom challenge coins from all Dept. of Defense branches, Army forts, naval bases and air stations.

Army National Guard Recruiting and Basic Training Challenge Coins and Pins

They also learn how to use their equipment and how to perform their duties. After basic training, recruits are sent to their units where they will complete their training.
The Army National Guard is an essential component of the United States military. The men and women who serve in the Army National Guard are highly trained and dedicated soldiers who are ready to deploy at a moment's notice.
Thanks to their regular training and drill, Army National Guard units are always prepared to meet the challenges of deployment, whether it be in combat or support roles. It’s very impressive when you consider they have full-time civilian careers as well.
"When I walked into the armory this morning and saw Soldiers on the drill floor, I had to go join these new recruits and just talk to them," he said. "As I talked to the recruits, I asked them what they did in their civilian careers and let me tell you, the men and women who join our force today have very, very impressive credentials."
- Lt. Gen. Frank Helmick, former commander of the 18th Airborne Corps and Fort Bragg
