ZAGAN, Poland – A Soldier assigned to 1st Battalion, 66th Armored Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, places a chop block under the tread of an M1A2 Abrams Tank Jan. 25, 2017. The chop block secures the tank and prevents it from moving forward as it is transported via rail to Grafenwoehr, Germany where it will be used by the Soldiers as they conduct training in Europe as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve. The tanks arrived in Poland earlier this month from the United States and were offloaded to be test fired before moving onto Germany. The movement of equipment and troops into and around Europe kicks off what will be a continuous rotation of armored brigades from the United States as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve. The Iron Brigade’s move to Germany will enhance deterrence capabilities in the region and improve the U.S. ability to respond to potential crisis and defend its allies and partners within the European community.
