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.

Guardsmen from Arkansas, Indiana, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas are currently participating in a regional emergency response exercise based on a New Madrid Earthquake scenario which simulates a 7.7 magnitude earthquake having occurred in Northeast Arkansas.

The exercise, labeled “Vigilant Guard,” is designed to replicate the deployment of forces under Emergency Management Assistance Compacts (EMACs) in preparation for the potential of a real-world catastrophic event that would require external support. The exercise is sponsored by US Northern Command in conjunction with the National Guard Bureau.

This video shows Soldiers of the Louisiana National Guard participating in the exercise.
