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.

Civilian firefighters from U.S. Army Garrison (USAG) Ansbach Fire and Emergency Services conducted Technical Rescue Training, November 27-30, 2017 at the Urlas Fire Fighting Training Center. Ansbach Fire and Emergency Services Chief of Operations Mr. Peter Wittmann was on site to observe the firefighters while training, as they used hydraulic and manually operated winches to secure and erect a crashed vehicle. To complete the training scenario, firefighters had to rescue a vehicle occupant (a test dummy) trapped beneath the car using the Stab-fast technical support system, raising the car with pneumatic lifting bags and effectively securing the vehicle in order to extract and rescue the trapped dummy-occupant. Fire and rescue training is a required, regular part of fire fighters annual performance testing and certification. (U.S. Army video by Charles Rosemond)
