    U.S. Soldiers prepare to fire an M1 Abrams tank during the Iron Spear Tank Competition

    U.S. Soldiers from Battle Company, 3rd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, stage a M1A2 SEP Version 3 Abrams tank before beginning the Iron Spear Tank Competition firing portion in Adazi, Latvia, on Nov. 19, 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 portion of the competition tested the crews’ knowledge and physical skills by putting them through a stress-inducing lane before firing at targets at varying distances. (U.S. Army photo by Pfc.
