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.

Lower Body Flexibility & Mobility
Target Area – Hip Flexors, Quads
Preparation:
The Marine will be in a kneeling position with the right foot flat and the left knee on the deck. They will place a PVC pipe across the back (horizontally) of their shoulders and have both a 90 degree bend in the front and rear legs.
Execution:
The Marine will engage their core, pull down slightly on the PVC pipe, and rotate towards the forward leg. They activate the glute of the side that is being stretched and keep the knee of the forward leg over the ankle.
Common Mistakes: - Forward leaning instead of glute contraction
