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.

California Army National Guard Chief Warrant Officer Two Scott Smith and Bryan Bartucci from the 1-140th Aviation Battalion (Air Assault), based out of Los Alamitos, fly their UH-60 Black Hawk, Aug. 29, 2013, from the Mather Flight Facility to the dip site at the Cherry Lake dam just west of Yosemite National Park to 16 various bucket drop sites five minutes away. The pilots move in, directed by the Cal Fire manager, Fire Capt. John Zuniga, who spots U.S. Forest Service fire fighters on the ground and signals Spc. Michael Beatty, the crew chief to drop the buckets of water near areas where the ground crews are cutting lines. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Master Sgt. Paul Wade/Released)
