Strong Europe.

This is coolbert:

This is analogous to what used to be called the Canada Cup. But not exactly the same.

NATO armor units versus other NATO units in friendly competition. The tank crews of various nations demonstrating their mettle.

"Germany Claims Trophy in Strong Europe Tank Challenge"

"GRAFENWOEHR, Germany -- The German platoon took top honors in the Strong Europe Tank Challenge, a three-day competition that tested offensive and defensive operations and mounted orienteering, with Denmark and Poland placing second and third, May 13, 2016."

. . . .

"Platoons rotated throughout the three events, vying for a possible 1,000 points. Crews conducted both offensive and defensive operations involving fire and maneuver for 350 possible points in each lane."

"Mounted orienteering had a possible 300 points that was combined from six 50-point tasks, including a mystery physical challenge that emphasized teamwork. Platoons navigated through an obstacle course with 13 challenges. Soldiers fired 10 rounds from three different locations using their own service weapons during the combat pistol shoot lane. The vehicle identification lane tested the platoons' abilities to identify 25 friendly and threatening vehicles while traversing through a course. Crews had to recover, hook up and tow vehicles while under a simulated chemical attack. Finally, multinational teams reacted to an improvised explosive device, assessed and treated a casualty, and requested a medical evacuation [Medevac].."

"This was the first multinational tank challenge that took place here since 1991"

AMERICAN TANK CREWS NOT DOING SO GOOD! NOT FINISHING EVEN IN THE TOP THREE COMPETITORS.

FOR SHAME! TRAINING AND WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE. A MAJOR BLEMISH MUST BE EXPUNGED!! DAMNIT!!
