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.

Nearly 70 service members from the West Virginia and District of Columbia National Guard and the Qatar Armed Forces participated in a 15-kilometer ruck march around the perimeter of the National Service Academy in Doha, Qatar, as part of the first-ever Best Warrior Competition held outside the United States. The march tested participants’ endurance and resilience, reinforcing the physical and mental demands of military service. Hosted from Feb. 2-5, 2025, the competition served as a platform to enhance military readiness, strengthen interoperability, and reinforce the enduring partnership established between West Virginia and Qatar in 2018.
