This coin seems to answer more questions. "Operation Fuerte Apoyo (Strong Support) was the largest U.S. disaster relief/humanitarian assistance mission in history for Central America. The military headquarters for the operation, Joint Task Force-Aguila (Eagle), at Comalapa Air Base, El Salvador, coordinated engineer, medical and humanitarian relief for 20.3 million people over a 259,925 square-mile area in the countries of El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua."
BEAT_NAVY Posted March 8, 2022 #127 Posted March 8, 2022 @Boy Howdy There is a nice Jumpmaster coin here that I would love to have but sadly I can't get. Figured you might be interested
skir Posted March 12, 2022 #130 Posted March 12, 2022 Not sure if there is much interest in CIA items, but here are some CIA coins I have. Would like to see any that other members have. First up is Special Operations Training Group. This Group Instructs Para Military Operations for the DO
skir Posted March 12, 2022 #131 Posted March 12, 2022 Next up is the Field Activities Training Group, Like the SOT group, it trains PM operations but with added CO tradecraft for field officers
skir Posted March 12, 2022 #132 Posted March 12, 2022 Next is the Surveillance Training Group. Coin has alot of hidden meanings that am sure some of You are familiar with, especially TICS.

I’m not familiar with STG or the meaning of TICS, but KITD/FOHS…”Kept in the dark, fed only horse manure” goes back to the Son Tay Raid…was created by USAF crew members.

You are correct, the area where STG is located is where training was conducted with the prison mock up
Boy Howdy Posted March 13, 2022 #140 Posted March 13, 2022 Not as impressive as the coins above but it does have a little mileage on it. Number 0446
digi-shots Posted March 14, 2022 #141 Posted March 14, 2022 Not a challenge coin but very similar.. and not really sure it belongs here but thought some of the “coin” collectors might enjoy seeing an early coin/token. It’s about the same size as challenge coin.
atb Posted March 14, 2022 #142 Posted March 14, 2022 Somewhere I have a 1975 Bicentennial of the Army commemorative/challenge medallion/coin my unit in Italy gave out to everybody in the organization. It came with a certificate. It is specific to the command, not a generic item.
Boy Howdy Posted March 15, 2022 #143 Posted March 15, 2022 Bought this from forum member CHASEUSA11B. It is pewter colored and non magnetic. Any of you Jump Masters familiar with this coin? Given upon graduation? Thanks in advance.

The certificate indicates the I was assigned to the unit at the time of the bicentennial.

Boy Howdy Posted March 16, 2022 #147 Posted March 16, 2022 105th MP Co. NYNG An older coin. Very dark w/o the flash.
BEAT_NAVY Posted March 27, 2022 #149 Posted March 27, 2022 Very nice!! 50 minutes ago, Boy Howdy said: supplied the Berlin Brigade
Boy Howdy Posted March 28, 2022 #150 Posted March 28, 2022 This coin has me stumped. According to the web the First Special Operations Command was formed 1 December 1989. This coin was copyrighted 1984. Any input greatly appreciated. Coin not in hand yet but I will check the rim when it arrives.
