U.S. Soldiers with 3rd Battalion, 66th Armored Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, manoeuvred an M1A2 Abrams tank through a water obstacle at Bemowo Piskie Training Area in Poland on 18 November 2025. The activity formed part of the Forward Land Forces expansion designed to showcase NATO’s ability to reposition heavy armour quickly.

 

The exercise brought Abrams crews and support elements by rail from training areas across Poland to confirm that rapid movement of equipment can be sustained under operational conditions. According to the U.S. Army, this was intended to support NATO’s defence of the eastern flank by demonstrating both mobility and readiness.

 

 

U.S. and NATO forces in Europe continue to carry out joint training to strengthen interoperability. They state that these efforts help ensure collective defence readiness across the alliance.
