U.S. Army Europe and Africa, along with our NATO and Partner Allies, annually host a Tank Challenge. This training event is designed to give participating nations a dynamic and productive environment in which to foster military partnerships, form Soldier-level relationships, and share tactics, techniques and procedures.
 
The European International Tank Challenge was formerly known as the Strong Europe Tank Challenge. Images, video and stories that are older will appear under that name further down the timeline.

This video depicts the field protocol used by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center's Fish Ecology Team for conducting swimming performance studies on large riverine fishes such as Silver Carp and Bighead Carp. The protocol is part of the Institute of Animal Care and Use Committee requirements. The team uses the world's largest mobile swim tunnel to develop predictive models of how various species react to different flow regimes. In testing Asian carp, the team is using the tunnel to determine if flows through locks and dams and other structures can provide hydraulic barriers to keep the invasive carp from entering the upper Mississippi River, sections of the Ohio River and other waterways.
