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.

Decommissioned amphibious assault ship USS Tarawa (LHA-1) is towed back to Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility following SALVEX 24-001 at Ford Island, Hawaii, June 11, 2023. The two-week Naval Sea Systems Command exercise was comprised of approximately 250 Sailors, civilians and contractors which included members of Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PHNSY & IMF). The team collaborated in a variety of scenarios where simulated battle damage was evaluated, and personnel developed repair solutions using emerging technologies to accelerate repairs and shorten repair timeline. The use of public-private partnership between the Navy and industry highlighted technologies, equipment, and products ready to transition into ship maintenance. PHNSY & IMF is the largest, most comprehensive fleet repair and maintenance facility between the U.S. West Coast and the Far East and provides a capable, ready and "Fit to Fight" fleet.
