These particular custom military coins were designed for the Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Team Command Europe while they were stationed in Rota, Spain.


The soldiers of FAST are highly trained and of the utmost caliber.  In order to both prevent and protect against possible threats these Custom Marine Corps Coin of the Month (Front|Back)soldiers are trained in counter surveillance. Like all soldiers these teams are combat trained but FAST members are accomplished well beyond the average soldier. They specialize in urban combat techniques, close quarter combat and martial arts. The mission’s FAST members respond to can only be completed with the highest skill levels.
