Custom Coins Honoring Dedication and Service at Fort Bragg
Fort Bragg is the largest military installation in the United States, hosting more than just its soldiers. Military families are an essential component of life at Fort Bragg, with a population of about 260,000 people including service members, contractors, pensioners, and others. Fort Bragg is a fully integrated community with ten housing developments catering to families, nine schools teaching children through kindergarten to middle school, and even local chain resaurants such as Popeyes or Starbucks near the commissary.
The leadership of Fort Bragg recognizes the commitment and sacrifices of families and residents who live there while their servicemember is deployed, often using challenge coins to acknowledge and award their service in keeping the US Army working. At Fort Bragg, military personnel and family members aren't the only people who count; there is also a civilian staff filling in non-combat positions such as engineering, finance, health services, and several others. Officers and servicemembers frequently have their own challenge coins made and give them as direct tokens of their affection to their loved ones, co-workers and friends.

What Are Fort Bragg Custom Challenge Coins Used For?
The practice of exchanging challenge coins between members of the military is one of the oldest customs among soldiers in every branch of the armed forces. Challenge coins are given to service members at Fort Bragg in recognition of significant achievement, such as passing boot camp or jump school, or as a unit coin for all of the members of a unit as proof of membership and camaraderie. Commanders commendation coins are coins given to servicemembers or individuals who have earned the commander's personal esteem in the completion of their duties.
A lot of the time challenge coins are awarded to members of Fort Bragg after they respond to natural disasters, defend the nation, or defend our allies. Operations these soldiers have been a part of include disaster response to Hurricane Katrina, Irma, Maria, and deploying feet-first as part of Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. When the need arises, the troops stationed at Fort Bragg are often the first to be called upon.
Several organizations at Fort Bragg commission challenge coins localized to their units including:
- United States Army Forces Command (FORSCOM,) the nation’s largest U.S. Army command with active Army, U.S. Army Reserve, and Army National Guard soldiers.
- The XVIII Airborne Corps, known as “America’s Contingency Troops,” one of the U.S. Army’s best organizations for rapid deployment.
- The 82nd Airborne Division, “All American Division,”serving as the primary fighting arm of the XVIII.
- The 139th Infantry Division, an Army National Guard division serving since World War I.
- The 108th Air Defense Artillery Brigade, capable of rapidly deploying air defense artillery in operations worldwide.

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 another whole level. Some worked; some didn't work. In the end, what was the client's reaction to their finished project?
