You would expect Austria and Germany, so close to the Soviet Union would field top teams.

North Korea is a more likely place for WW III, to start.

Pathetic! US Army should have cleaned house. When I was in Germany we practically lived at Graf and were ready at a moments notice. The commanders should be embarrassed.

US finished third.

Used to have the Canadian Army Trophy (CAT) competition.

It was serious business.

You need to have a dedicated team. Pull out five tanks, 20 Master Gunners, full unit of mechanics including factory support.

Give them a year and all the fuel and ammunition they want to train up.

In 25 years, Germany itself will be the enemy

Given that the German Army is only allowed to work 41 hours per week because the nut-job Defense Minister is applying EU labor laws to the Bundeswehr, I would not get too excited about the proficiency of the modern Panzerwaffe.

Tanks are SO WW2... Didn't the highway from Kuwait teach the army anything. Tanks are just giant sized "Jiffy Pop" containers.

The invasion is coming from the Middle East, not Russia.

Like the air craft carrier, armored vehicles and tanks are obsolete. /sarcasm
