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.

The LFWAP program is a reinvigorated missile exercise (MSLX) program designed to increase fleet lethality and tactical proficiency. Spruance is one of three warships from USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) Carrier Strike Group (CSG) completing a CRUDES SWATT exercise. USS Mobile Bay (CG 53) and USS Stockdale (DDG 106) are also participating in the SMWDC-led exercise. SWATTs are designed to increase warfighting proficiency, lethality, and interoperability of participating units. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Jeffrey Southerland/released)
