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.

Apache Mission (Long version with lower thirds)

Suggested Anchor Lead: American aviation soldiers blanketed the skies with 18 apache helicopters during an attack training mission in Germany.

Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 3rd Aviation Regiment (1-3 ARB) 12th Combat Aviation Brigade launched 18 A-64 Apache helicopters from the Katterbach Army Airfield in Ansbach, Germany. This mission was not only significant because of the large number of Apaches launched, but because it was conducted during a period when maintainers and pilots were forced to work in split shifts due to the pandemic.
