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.

U.S. Marines and U.S. Navy sailors with Combat Logistics Battalion 31, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, asses and transport simulated casualties during a mass casualty exercise at Kin Blue Beach Training Area, Okinawa, Japan, Feb. 14, 2025. The ability to respond to a mass casualty event is a core mission of the 31st MEU that requires rapid response to effectively recover and triage military or civilian casualties by supplementing the medical resources at the scene. The America Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), compromising amphibious assault carrier USS America (LHA 6), amphibious transport dock ship USS San Diego (LPD 22), and amphibious dock landing ship USS Rushmore (LSD 47) along with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), are underway conducting routine integrated operations in U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. U.S. 7th Fleet is the U.S. Navy’s largest forward- deployed numbered fleet, and routinely interacts and operated with allies and partners to preserve a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
