<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sewjr24, post: 815528, member: 23149&quot;]<b>3rd Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Military Branch: U.S. Army</p><p>Unit: 3rd Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is probably my favorite challenge coin by far. It is the largest and most detailed of all the ones I have. All of the units in the brigade are represented on this coin. At the top is an M1 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle to represent the three infantry battalions in the brigade. At the 3 o&#039;clock position is an M1 Abrams tank to represent the armor battalion. At the 9 o&#039;clock position is an M109 howitzer to represent the artillery battalion. At 5 o&#039;clock is a bull dozer to represent the engineer battalion. And the 7 o&#039;clock position has a HEMT truck to represent the transportation and support battalion. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The other side of the coin has the unit crest and nickname &quot;Sledgehammer&quot;. Because this coin was issued by both the brigade commander and the brigade command sergeant major, both are represented on this side of the coin. The left sledgehammer (Hammer 6) represents the brigade commander and features the colonel rank insignia in the background. The sledgehammer on the right (Hammer 7) represents the brigade&#039;s command sergeant major and features his rank insignia in the background. Although it is hard to read in this image, the scroll at the very bottom is where the serial number is engraved, 1113.....there&#039;s that pesky &quot;13&quot; again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
