Good Morning,.

Sorry in the delay in getting back to you. Had some issues with my computer when I returned from holiday leave but I did receive some information in regards to your request. I was informed that DIA does not have a "challenge coin program" but I did receive some information on DIA's coin program. With this information, would you like to continue with this process?

Thank you,
Best,

C. Smith

From: Emily Crose

To clarify, is this information regarding a reward coin system?

From: Defense Intelligence Agency

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED

Yes. The coin is given for exceptional service, an achievement, or a job well done to United States military or civilian.
Best,

C. Smith

From: Emily Crose

Yes, this is the information I'd like to request. Thank you.
