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.

A feature video of the Pointe du Hoc Ranger Monument in Cricqueville-en-Bessin, France on June 3, 2022.

The World War II Pointe du Hoc Ranger Monument was constructed by the French to honor elements of the American Second Ranger Battalion under the command of Lt. Col. James E. Rudder. During the American assault of Omaha and Utah beaches on June 6, 1944, these U.S. Army Rangers scaled the 100-foot cliffs and seized the enemy artillery pieces that could have fired on the American landing troops at Omaha and Utah beaches.

At a high cost of life, they successfully defended against enemy counterattacks.
