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.

CCDC Ground Vehicle Systems Center has installed two Screening Obscurant Modules (SOMs) on a Squad Multipurpose Equipment Transport (SMET) surrogate. The SMET with SOM was teleoperationally-controlled from a Stryker C2 (command and control) vehicle... approximately 1 km away. This Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) vehicle has an effective line of sight (LOS) range of 1-2 km and the potential for increased range with beyond line of sight (BLOS) retransmission capability. The SMET with SOM provides obscuration, one of the Robotic and Autonomous Systems (RAS) functions assessed at the Robotic Concept at Yakima Training Center, late May and early June 2019.
