The U.S. Army North (Fifth Army) challenge coin represents the legacy and mission of one of the Army’s oldest and most historically significant commands. Originally activated during World War II, the Fifth Army played a pivotal role in the Italian Campaign and later evolved into U.S. Army North, headquartered at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Today, it serves as the Army’s component of U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), focusing on homeland defense, civil support, and theater security cooperation. The challenge coin often features the unit’s iconic insignia—a five-pointed star with the letter “A”—symbolizing its storied past and enduring mission. Given to soldiers, partners, and distinguished visitors, the coin honors those who contribute to protecting the homeland and supporting civil authorities in times of crisis, from natural disasters to national emergencies.
