USAREUR-AF International Tank Challenge

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.

Kessler Year In Review 2017

81st Training Wing

Jan. 1, 2018 | 3:41

"Most phenomenal Dragons,
What an unforgettable year, Dragon Team….you delivered exceptional results! Here are just a few:
- Keesler graduated more than 30,000 students from 163 career fields
- Led the AF in cutting edge training methods, focused on optimal learning methods and technology (Science on a Sphere, Flip the Classroom, Hybrid Courses online and in person, and more)
- Treated more than 800K patients through world-class medical care. We performed the first robotics surgery and implanted the world's smallest pacemaker (Both were first-ever initiatives for the AF)
- Solidified the Division Street Gate project and strengthened our relationships with our Gulf Coast Community Leaders
- Supported hurricane relief efforts in Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico, and weathered Hurricane Nate's direct hit on Keesler
You also know from personal experience the sacrifice, dedication, and commitment required to have the most dynamic and lethal Air Force in the world. That demand signal will not diminish in the foreseeable future. And as always, let’s please remain mindful and grateful for those who are deployed, separated from loved ones and those that cover down over holidays.
From all of us in the command section, we wish you all a wonderful holiday season. I am so excited about pushing forward shoulder to shoulder in 2018…..a year for Action, Connection and Engagement!
With deepest respect and gratitude,"

Dragon Lead
