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.

A team of communication specialists from Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response-Africa tested their ability to securely communicate while in flight from Moron Air Base, Spain, Feb. 20, 2015. The Marines used a satellite communications system and a special antenna within their KC-130 to establish a command and control node aboard the aircraft. The capability will allow future mission commanders to receive continuous mission-critical updates while transiting to the objective. Interview: Sgt. Nathaniel Ford.
