US Army Europe Best Warrior Logo

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.

Vietnam War Era Sampan delivery at Naval Museum
Hampton Roads Naval Museum
Sept. 16, 2019 | 1:37
A 25 foot long Vietnamese sampan captured in 1968 during Operation Flankspeed during the Vietnam War is the focus of this video footage. The sampan has never before been exhibited to the public; and was previously housed in the Naval History and Heritage Command's collections management facility. Prior to the artifact being transported and displayed, it was cleaned and stabilized by museum conservators. The artifact is part of a larger exhibit that is scheduled to open at the Hampton Roads Naval Museum on October 9, 2019 and is titled "The Ten Thousand Day War at Sea: the US Navy in Vietnam, 1950-1975" (US Navy Video by Max Lonzanida/Released).
