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.

Office of Air & Marine / BORSTAR Rescue in AZ

On 8 May 2015, US Customs and Border Protection elements responded to an early morning 911 call. Members of the Office of Air and Marine (OAM), Tucson Branch as well as members of the US Border Patrol Tucson Sector BORSTAR worked together to locate and rescue a non-U.S. person in the desert near the Baboquivari mountains in Arizona. Border Patrol agents traveled on foot into a remote area of the desert and assisted their aviator partners to extract the man who then delivered him to civilian emergency medical services. The aircraft used in the operation was a Blackhawk "L-model" outfitted with a special rescue hoist. Rescues in the desert are highly technical and dangerous to perform, and the brave men and women of U.S. Customs and Border Protection stand ready to perform their duties with integrity and honor.
