    ”Follow me.”

    Fort Benning is a United States Army post located on the border of Alabama and Georgia, near Columbus, Georgia. Fort Benning supports more than 120,000 active-duty military personnel and their families, as well as reserve component soldiers, retirees and civilian employees on a daily basis. It is designed to be a power projection platform, with the ability to deploy combat-ready forces by air, rail or highway.

    Fort Benning is home to the United States Army Maneuver Center of Excellence, the US Armor School, US Army Infantry School, Army Mountain Warfare School, Ranger School, Airborne School, and others.

    Since 1909, Fort Benning has served as the US Army Infantry's Home. As a result of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission's decision to concentrate a number of schools and bases to create separate "centers of excellence," Fort Benning has been turned into the Maneuver Center of Excellence. The relocation of the Armor School from Fort Knox to Fort Benning was one component of this change.

    THE EVOLUTION OF CHALLENGE COIN AWARDS

    Eight years ago, the Challenge Coin industry had what we call a recipe for designing challenge coins. Round, flat, and empty.

    This type of Challenge Coin is a classic, and it still being used nowadays, But people were somewhat asking for a little more spice, uniqueness, and bold designs.

    That's when clients started to bring more complex ideas. Instead of refusing to take on the project as most other companies did, we embraced the challenge. We began to increase difficulty and detail to coins; we started experimenting and bringing expectations to whole new level. Some worked; some didn't.

    In the end, what was the client's reaction to their finished project?
