U.S. Army Spc. Colin Palacios, M1 Abrams driver from Battle Company, 3rd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, performs maintenance on an M1 Abrams tank during the Iron Spear Tank Competition in Adazi, Latvia, on Nov. 17, 2025. Two armor crews from Battle Company represented the U.S. Army in a multinational tank competition, which aims to strengthen convergence, enhance readiness, and increase lethality across NATO partnerships. This is routine maintenance before the first day of the Iron Spear competition; it ensures that the equipment is ready for the rest of the mentally and physically demanding three-day event.
