Description
The Air Force Space Command coin commemorates the Command and its host unit, the 21st Space Wing at Peterson Air Force Base, for its reputation as “America’s Space Superiority Wing.” The Command’s duty is vital to America’s front-line defense: warning of any hostile missile attack; defense against any missile attack and control of all space control operations; operation, support and protection of our installations; and deployment of “Warrior Airmen” and the provision of care for all who defend America and our Allies.
Globally postured to win, the Command’s 21st Space Wing is the Air Force’s most widespread and diverse wing. “The Knights” can be found in 39 units at 27 locations in five countries around the world, although based in Colorado Springs. Air Force Space Command is surrounded by good neighbors: US Northern Command; North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD); Army Space Command; Space and Missile Defense Command; and 302nd Airlift Wing.
The Air Force Space Command challenge coin features the Command crest and banner, highlighted in rich enamels. The reverse is the United States Air Force emblem.
