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.

Members of Iraqi Special Forces, Qwat al-Khasah al-Iraqi, practice advanced techniques on M-240B machine guns near Baghdad, Iraq, Feb. 2020. The threat of Daesh attacks remains – and the Iraqi Security Forces continue to aggressively pursue these remnants where they are hiding – such as sleeper cells, caches, temporary camps, finances and key personnel. The Qwat al-Khasah is an elite fighting force that specializes in raids, seizing, clearing and holding terrain for limited durations and conducting reconnaissance, counter-insurgency or counter terrorism operations.
