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.

Lower Body Flexibility & Mobility
Target Area – Hamstring & Glutes
Preparation:
The Marine will place the TRX in single handle mode and stand facing the anchor point with feet hip width apart. They will grasp the handle with an over hand grip using both hands.
Execution:
The Marine will place tension into the TRX by pushing down on the handle. They will lift the right or left leg off the deck and hinge at the hip with an unlocked knee on the support leg and back flat. The Marine will go as far as they can until they feel a stretch in the hamstring and glute of the support leg. They will hold for a 2 count and return to the starting position.
Common Mistakes: - Not keeping shoulder and hips square
- Slack in the TRX
