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. Army Green Berets from various special forces groups along with Turkish Army and Air Force joint terminal attack controllers (JTAC) shared techniques and procedures of “call for air support” during a bilateral exchange training near Konya, Türkiye, August 23-24, 2023. U.S. Navy F/A-18 and Turkish Air Force F-16 fighters supported the training. This exchange between U.S. Special Operations Forces JTACs and the Turkish JTACs increased capabilities for coordinating NATO air support missions and furthered interoperability between U.S. forces and their NATO ally. This interoperability is critical as NATO stands together to promote stability and security in the region. (U.S. Army video by Sgt. 1st. Class Adrian Borunda)
