USAREUR-AF International Tank Challenge

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.

Va. RED HORSE Supports Air Show, Blue Angels

192nd Wing - Virginia Air National Guard

May 19, 2016 | 1:00

The hook on a Blue Angels F/A-18 A Hornet, traveling at 100 knots or over 115 miles per hour, catches the aircraft arresting system cable as part of a system test at Fort Pickett, Army National Guard Maneuver Training Center, Blackstone Army Airfield, May 19, 2016. The arresting cable was installed by 13 Airmen from the Virginia Air National Guard, 203rd RED HORSE Squadron and with two subject matter experts from the Ohio Air National Guard, 200th RED HORSE Squadron. The arresting gear installation supported the nearby Lynchburg Air Show, May 20-21. Used primarily to halt jets landing on aircraft carriers, an arresting cable is the mechanical system capable of swiftly decelerating an aircraft as it lands, usually preventing mishaps and injuries in an emergency.
