Custom Fort Bragg Challenge Coins

Does your unit have challenge coins?

Tucked in the pockets of soldiers posted to Fort Bragg are challenge coins awarded to them in recognition of the shared service and dedication of the servicemembers for protecting the nation and defending our borders. Sequestered in North Carolina, Fort Bragg is the world’s largest military installation with more than 50,000 Active Duty troops on its premises at any given time. According to Fort Bragg’s community site, almost 10 percent of all U.S. Army forces are assigned to Fort Bragg and the fort is commonly called “the center of the military universe.” 

Fort Bragg’s garrisons some of the nation’s most elite and well-trained soldiers including both Airborne and Special Operations Forces who’ve earned their challenge coins leaping out of planes and fighting foes abroad. Each challenge coin in their possession tells a long and illustrious history of their services to the nation’s defense.

What Are Fort Bragg Challenge Coins?

The exchange of challenge coins between members of the military is one of the oldest traditions among members in the military in every branch of the armed forces. At Fort Bragg, servicemembers are awarded challenge coins in recognition of exceptional service, passing a major milestone in their careers such as boot camp or jump school, or as a unit coin given to all of a unit’s members as proof of membership and solidarity. Officers may also commission a set of “commander coins” to be awarded to specific servicemembers or individuals who have earned their personal regard in the completion of their duties. 

The servicemembers posted at Fort Bragg quickly gain a large collection of challenge coins as they are called upon to respond to natural disasters, defend the country, or protect our allies. Operations these soldiers have taken part in include disaster response to Hurricane Katrina, Irma, Maria, and deploying feet-first as part of Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. The soldiers posted at Fort Bragg are often the first to be called upon when the need strikes. 

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 organization with 750,000 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.
   

Challenge Coins Honoring Dedication and Service at Fort Bragg

Operating as the largest military installation in the world, Fort Bragg is called home to more than just its soldiers. The families of servicemembers are an endemic part of everyday life at Fort Bragg and the fort hosts a population of roughly 260,000, including military families, contractors, retirees and more. Fort Bragg is a full community, almost operating as a town in of itself with 10 housing communities offering suburban-style townhomes, nine grade schools teaching kids through kindergarten to middle school, and even local chain restaurants such as Popeyes or Starbucks located next to the base commissary.

Fort Bragg’s leadership recognizes the dedication and sacrifices of the families and civilians who live there with their servicemember by honoring the civilian population of the base with challenge coins recognizing their service in keeping the U.S. Army working. Army Civilians at Fort Bragg aren’t just the families of servicemembers, they’re also the workforce filling in non-combat roles in engineering, finance, health services, and many more. Officers and servicemembers often keep challenge coins of their own and give them as direct tokens of their regard to their families or friends.
