An M1A2 Abrams tank operated by U.S. Soldiers assigned to 3rd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment fires during night gunnery training as part of Operation Warhorse Surge at Bemowo Piskie Training Area, Poland, Feb. 9, 2026. Tracer fire illuminated the trajectory of rounds across the battlefield, assisting crews with target identification and engagement feedback while showcasing the unit’s ability to deliver precise armored fires in extreme cold-weather conditions. U.S. forces in Europe conduct routine training in Poland to enhance interoperability with NATO allies and maintain readiness along the alliance’s eastern flank.
