CORIVFOR FY21 Challenge Coin

The CORIVFOR, short for Coastal Riverine Force, is a unit of the United States Navy within the organizational structure of the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC). According to the Navy: “The Navy’s Riverine force focuses on conducting Maritime Security Operations and Theater Security Cooperation in a riverine area of operations or other suitable areas.

To be successful in combat, naval expeditionary force members must possess weapons proficiency, a combat mindset, physical fitness, and determination. Unlike the larger surface warfare community, the most recent incarnation of the Navy’s coastal riverine expeditionary force is designed to do battle at a small-unit level, detached from a larger support force and potentially under the tactical control of a senior petty officer. Manning for this force needs to be far more selective and targeted to the specific functional skills it entails and the combat environment it likely will face.

The CORIVFOR FY21 ordered their custom challenge coin from us and we were asked to create a one-of-a-kind design for them. Using the shape of a shield instead of a more-common round coin, they requested that on one side we put the insignias for the Coastal Riverine Force units, and on the other side they wanted us to etch the text of the values taken from the book ‘Honor Bound to Defend Freedom’.
