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.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) conducted a training and evaluation session of National Odor Recognition Testing (NORT) to 30 local, state and federal explosive-detection canine teams on Camp Pendleton, Calif., June 6, 2017. Law Enforcement Marines, and their working dogs, also participated in the training aimed at improving the canine team’s ability to detect 10 fundamental explosive odors. The training allows handlers to exchange information with colleagues and ask questions of ATF canine and explosives subject matter experts. (U.S. Marine Corps Video by Lance Cpl. Desiree D King)
