Recorded Account
This was my company commander coin when I commanded the Military Intelligence Company for 1st BCT, 1st Cavalry Division. A subordinate unit of the 1st Special Troops Battalion in the IRONHORSE Brigade, the company housed most of the brigade's intelligence Soldiers. Although the MICO was not subordinate to the BCT S2, it worked very closely with the BDE S2. We deployed during OIF 09-10 and were based at Camp Taji, Iraq. The company's motto was ASSASSINS (Alpha Company), and the back of the coin represented the platoons—SIGINT, TUAV, HUMINT, and IEW. The rim of the coin reads "Intelligence Drives Maneuver" in English and Latin.
