Camp Mackall Chapter – Special Forces Association Chapter 6; The legacy of Special Forces Association Chapter 6 — the Camp Mackall Chapter — is deeply connected to one of the most historic locations in the Special Forces Regiment: Camp Mackall, North Carolina, known throughout the Regiment as “Where It All Begins.”
When the Camp Mackall Chapter approached Excalibur Industries to engineer their official chapter challenge coin, the goal was not simply to create another commemorative coin. The mission was to create a piece that reflected the history, identity, brotherhood, and culture of Special Forces.
As a veteran-owned challenge coin engineering company specializing in premium military challenge coins, Excalibur Industries focuses on preserving unit history and military legacy through engineered commemorative designs built specifically for elite military organizations, veteran groups, and Special Operations communities.
Camp Mackall holds a unique place in Special Forces history. Located adjacent to the Special Forces training pipeline, it represents the gateway into the Regiment for generations of Green Berets.
The Camp Mackall Chapter membership includes Special Forces veterans from multiple generations — from some of the earliest members of the Regiment to newly minted Special Forces soldiers entering today’s operational force.
The chapter works closely with the Camp Mackall cadre and remains deeply committed to supporting Special Forces candidates throughout the qualification process.
That legacy and responsibility demanded a challenge coin that carried authentic meaning.
The project began with a rough concept and a mission: create a custom Special Forces challenge coin worthy of the Camp Mackall Chapter identity.
Working closely with the chapter, Excalibur Industries transformed the initial ideas into a fully engineered commemorative coin designed to reflect:
The result was a military challenge coin that balanced symbolism, history, and manufacturable 3D relief engineering into a final presentation worthy of the Regiment.
Unlike generic promotional challenge coins, every Excalibur Industries project moves through a structured engineering pipeline focused on relief hierarchy, production quality, metal finishes, dimensional balance, and historical authenticity.

What made this project special was the authenticity behind it.
The Camp Mackall Chapter is not simply a veterans organization — it represents generations of Special Forces soldiers tied directly to one of the most important training grounds in Special Operations history.
The final challenge coin became more than a commemorative item. It became a physical representation of service, brotherhood, and legacy.
“All chapter members are proud of our coin.”
That statement alone reflects the true purpose behind military challenge coin engineering.
At Excalibur Industries, the goal is never just to manufacture coins. The goal is to preserve identity, history, and meaning in a form that can be carried for generations.
Many military challenge coins are designed quickly with little understanding of the unit or organization behind them.
Excalibur Industries approaches the process differently.
Founded by former U.S. Army Special Forces and law enforcement personnel, the company was built specifically around authentic military culture and commemorative craftsmanship.
That operational understanding allows Excalibur Industries to engineer challenge coins that resonate deeply within military and veteran communities.

The Excalibur Archive exists to preserve the stories behind the coins — the units, organizations, veterans, and missions that give meaning to every project.
The Camp Mackall Chapter coin stands as another example of how challenge coins can preserve history, strengthen brotherhood, and honor the legacy of those who served.
At Excalibur Industries, we do not simply make challenge coins.
We engineer legacy.
