U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM, is the unified combatant command responsible for military operations in the Middle East, parts of Central and South Asia, and the surrounding waters. Its headquarters is in Tampa, Florida, but it oversees forces in places like Iraq, Afghanistan (formerly), Syria, and the Persian Gulf.
In law enforcement and military policing, a Resident Agency is a smaller, forward-deployed field office that supports a larger regional or headquarters office. It’s staffed with a limited number of special agents who handle investigations, liaison work, and support for the local command. CENTCOM’s Resident Agency is a CID detachment or office that provides criminal investigation, security, and counterintelligence support for U.S. forces operating under CENTCOM.
We had the opportunity to fabricate one of the most extraordinary custom challenge coins we’ve ever made. They requested that the coin be shaped like a sitting camel, a homage to the Middle East, where CENTCOM is operating. On both sides of the coin, they only asked us to engrave some graphics and insignias, down to the smallest details.
At Embleholics, our sophisticated equipment can virtually construct almost any shape that you can imagine, as long as we can draw it into a 2D image or a 3D Model. Our team of experienced designers will guide you step-by-step, from taking your ideas and turning them into mock-ups, to choosing the right materials and finishes for your coins.
Don’t hesitate to reach Embleholics to get a quote or to consult your ideas and designs, we’ll do our best to turn them into reality.
