Test and Evaluation Command Challenge Coin

In the United States Army, ensuring that soldiers have the most reliable, lethal, and effective equipment requires rigorous operational testing under real-world conditions.

Additionally, it honors their critical deployment teams.

A Design Shaped by Military Heritage

Moving away from traditional circular formats, this coin features a distinctive swallow-tailed guidon flag shape. This is a direct nod to the historic unit markers used throughout Army history.

The face of the coin clearly represents the mission with specialized insignia and bold branding:

• Command Recognition: The top border proudly reads “ARMY TEST AND EVALUATION COMMAND” above the acronym “ATEC.”
• The ATEC Insignia: Centered perfectly on the coin is the official ATEC shield, featuring the iconic sword pointing toward a stylized sunburst, representing readiness and rigorous evaluation.
• Team Specifics: The lower half identifies “FOA-XV” alongside its full title, “FORWARD OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT TEAM,” honoring the specific rotation or group tasked with analyzing capabilities directly in operational environments.
