Soldiers from the 1st Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division and Airmen from Ramstein Air Force base load an M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tanks onto an Air Mobility Command C-17 Globmaster cargo plane from McCord Air Force Base, Washington. U.S. Army Europe is deploying two M1’s to Bulgaria in support of exercise Speed and Power. This is the first time M1A2 Tanks have been moved by air within Europe, and the first time Abrams Tanks have fired at the Novo Selo Training Area in Bulgaria. The tanks are part of the European Activity Set, which is designed to support the U.S. Army’s Regionally Aligned Force. The EAS enhances the capability of the RAF brigade and provides it the combat systems necessary to conduct unified land operations training alongside European allies and other partner nations in the region. Training that strengthens the interoperability between allied armies, enhances trust, and strengthens the enduring relationships that are the foundation of security in the region."
