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.

Victor Rivera is an United States Air Force veteran and the creator of the "Battle Buddy" keychain. He was medically retired in 2012 after being diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma.
After undergoing chemotherapy and treatments for his lymphoma, Victor started making paracord bracelets with the authentic military uniform button. He gave these bracelets out to nurses and other patients. The bracelets eventually evolved into a paracord person keychain now known as the "Battle Buddy." Making these bracelets and keychains is now a form of
therapy for Victor. He says it seems to be the only way he can forget his pain.
