HQ AIRCOM Challenge Coins
Custom Coins For Members of NATO
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was formed in 1949 with the signing of the Washington Treaty. Originally signed by 12 countries, the Treaty now contains 29 members representing countries all over the world. NATO provides collective security for all nations that have supported and signed with the organization and acts as a political and military alliance.
The political goals of NATO are to promote democratic values, cooperation in defense and security efforts around the globe, build trust among nations, and prevent conflict through diplomacy and policy.
The military goals of NATO are to provide the power necessary to initiate crisis-management operations when diplomatic efforts fail to resolve disputes peacefully. Through intensive training and careful organization, NATO has the capability to deploy troops on short notice to any point on earth. NATO forces aid in disaster relief, provide humanitarian support, and undertake military operations.
HQ AIRCOM is NATO’s air command center in Ramstein Germany. Every member of the base is committed to the mission of delivering air and space power to the alliance by providing intensive training, equipment, command and control.
NATO challenge coins represent the dedication of military and civilian teams to the mission of collective security and peaceful resolution. Each country that has signed the treaty creates unique coins that symbolize their own nation’s contributions, accomplishments, and incredible heritage.
For teams at NATO’s Air Command Center, HQ AIRCOM challenge coins are the personification of courage, innovation, and commitment that permeate through the entire organization.

Symbols Of Air Power and Protective Prowess
The HQ AIRCOM Insignia
Military units and organizations have their own iconic symbols and representations across all nations of the world. Emblems are the embodiment of core values and heritage for entire nations and teams of soldiers. HQ AIRCOM has a distinct insignia that holds the organization’s history, teachings, and mission in high esteem and represents everything the installation aims to achieve.
The crest is a blue shield with a gold border. The central depiction is of the sword of Charlemagne, calling back to the military leader who first united the greater part of Europe under a common banner. The upper right corner of the emblem holds a NATO compass rose, and wrapping around the sword of Charlemagne are two contrails attached to a flying aircraft. The jet represents the airpower of HQ AIRCOM and the two contrails call back to the combining of HQ Airnorthwest and HQ Aircent into the Allied Command Europe North Region Air Component Command.
Custom AIRCOM challenge coins elicit the same emotional connections to heritage and esteem found in the AIRCOM crest. Soldiers and pilots carry custom coins as a reminder of the bravery of the service men and women who came before them and of the mission that lay ahead of the organization. AIRCOM challenge coins are awards that honor team victories, promote unity, and commend personal merit.

HQ AIRCOM Overview
The Mission of NATO’s Air Power
During a restructuring of organizational command, Ramstein Air Base in Germany became home to NATO’s sole air forces command center: HQ AIRCOM. Personnel of the base describe themselves as a group of trained, combat-proven airmen committed to the projection of Air Power in support of the Supreme Allied Commander Europe. Just as with all branches of NATO, HQ AIRCOM is centered around defensive capabilities and works to resolve conflict through peaceful operations.

- Air Policing
- Training
- Tactical Evaluation
- Alliance Ground Surveillance
- Ballistic Missile defense
- NATO Airborne Early Warning
