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.

Navy Divers Document, Survey Marine Environment Below Downed P-8A Aircraft

Marine Corps Base Hawaii

Nov. 28, 2023 | 1:44

Navy Divers assigned to Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit One (MDSU-1) conduct an underwater survey of a U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. The video, collected to document the marine environment on Nov. 28 between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. HST, depicts the two points of contact the aircraft has with the coral and the remainder of the aircraft floating above. The Navy is developing a plan to remove the aircraft that prioritizes safety of people (salvage workers), safety of the environment and restoring combat capability of the aircraft. The Navy is conducting a thorough investigation of the mishap to determine the cause and prevent similar mishaps in the future. The P-8A is assigned to Patrol Squadron (VP) 4 “Skinny Dragons,” based at Whidbey Island, Washington, and was on a detachment in support of maritime homeland defense. The aircraft overshot the runway at Marine Corps Base Kaneohe on Nov. 20, and all nine crewmembers safely evacuated. (U.S. Navy video)
