Coast Guard Boat Forces Cutter Operations Challenge Coin
- 1 3/4 inch (44mm) Round
- Nickel Antique with Enamel
Thousands of Coast Guard personnel descend upon Training Center Yorktown every year to advance their knowledge and to train on small boats in a realistic environment at Boat Forces and Cutter Operations at US Coast Guard Training Center Yorktown, Virginia. This coin is symbolic of the essential skills necessary to becoming an effective, versatile guardsman aboard a US Coast Guard Cutter or small boat and developed at this training center.

The obverse of this challenge coin depicts two lighthouses on cliffs to represent protection of the nation's Pacific and Atlantic coasts; a crossed harpoon and oar signify strength and cooperation. These symbolize the preparedness of Boat Forces and Cutter Operations to defend our nation's deep and coastal waters. The coin's reverse features the various insignia of the "Heart and Soul of the Finest Sea Going Service": Advanced Boat Force Operations, Coxswain, Boat Force Operations, Surfman, and Cutterman (Enlisted and Officer) against a bright enamel slash of US Coast Guard colors.

Your training is always with you - and this challenge coin can be, too, a reminder and a prideful claim of your commitment to America's homeland security.
