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.

U.S. Army Veteran Wayne Wasilk, a former door gunner during the Vietnam war, recounts the harrowing tale of rescuing six wounded soldiers during a special visit to the exact helicopter he flew, May 9, 2024 at Camp Navajo, AZ.

Wasilk and his crew braved motor shells and heavy fire during their rescue of six wounded soldiers from Firebase Ripcord. The helicopter, now serving as a memorial on Camp Navajo, stands as a testament to the bravery and resilience of military personnel, as well as the heroes of the Vietnam era.
