I have made a video summary of this test using some of the videos that the multimedia portal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dvidshub.net\">DVIDShub<\/a> of the US Armed Forces has broadcast. You can see the following participants:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Austria:<\/strong> Leopard 2A4 of the 14th Armored Battalion.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Poland:<\/strong> Leopard 2A5 of the 34th Armored Cavalry Brigade.<\/li>\n<li><strong>United Kingdom:<\/strong> Challenger II of the Queen's Royal Hussar Regiment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>United States:<\/strong> M1A2 Abrams SEP v2 of the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Infantry Division (the famous \"Big Red One\").<\/li>\n<li><strong>Germany:<\/strong> Leopard 2A6 of the 393rd Armored Battalion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Especially picturesque has been the staging of the Americans<\/strong>, who have decorated their Abrams in green and with big white stars, just as the US Army did with their tanks in World War II. This is because <strong>the \"Big Red One\" was one of the units participating in the Normandy Landings<\/strong>, whose anniversary was celebrated this week.
