Armament Systems Maintainers help keep their tankers fully mission capable so that all of the internal computers and targeting systems function properly. This is especially important when U.S. Soldiers are competing in the 2017 Nordic Tank Challenge, a competition of 7 NATO allies, to see which tank teams are the most proficient. The 64th Brigade Support Battalion is deployed to Europe as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve, a U.S. led effort in Eastern Europe that demonstrates U.S. commitment to the collective security of NATO and dedication to enduring peace and stability in the region.
