Col. Laura C. Loftus, USAEUR Engineer, and a native of Enterprise, Ala., inspects the support infrastructure of the Marash River Bridge, before the transport of an M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tank as it reaches its destination at Novo Selo Training Area, Bulgaria, June 20. Transported as part of a tank section from Ramstein Air Base, Germany, to Bulgaria, the Abrams tank will be used by soldiers from 3rd Battalion, 69th Armor Regiment, alongside Bulgarian soldiers from the 6th Brigade Battle Group, during a tank live fire exercise during Operation Speed and Power. Operation Speed and Power is a joint training exercise which will demonstrate U.S. Army Europe's preparedness to deliver strategic effect in Atlantic Resolve-South by showcasing the freedom of movement to maneuver and fire M1A2 Abrams anywhere along the Eastern Flank. This ability enables the NATO allies to defend themselves against all threats, and shows that the alliance remains ready to defend itself anywhere at any time. (U.S. Army photo by Spc.
