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.

US Army Sergeant first Class Ramon Martinez, Observer Coach and Trainer for Joint Multinational Readiness Center, explains his task during the Parternship for Peace Exercice Rapid Trident 2014 and the benefits for the soldiers of all the 15 nations particiapting.
After Rapid Trident 2014 (RT14) began with a week of simulated training and command post exercises focusing on countering IEDs, convoy operations and patrolling, the field-training portion put their communication, tactical, and operational skills to the test.
The training between more than 1,200 military personnel from 15 nations marked the first major exercise in the country since tensions with Russia spilled over earlier this year. The exercise was originally scheduled to take place in July but was pushed back because early planning was disrupted by the crisis in the eastern part of the country.
While it involves many NATO members as well as countries such as Ukraine, who are part of NATO's broader "Partnership for Peace," the exercise is not formally a NATO drill.
