U.S. Army and Bulgarian forces maneuver across the Novo Selo Training Area, Bulgaria, June 25 in Operation Speed and Power. Soldiers from 3rd Battalion, 69th Armor Regiment, join Bulgarian military allies from the 6th Brigade Battle Group during a live-fire tank shoot firing the first ever rounds fired by a U.S. M1A2 tanks in Bulgaria. Operation Speed and Power is part of Operation Atlantic Resolve and is a joint training exercise which demonstrates U.S. Army Europe's preparedness to deliver strategic effect in Atlantic Resolve-South by showcasing the freedom of movement to maneuver and fire M1A2 Abrams anywhere along the Eastern Flank. This ability enables the NATO allies to defend themselves against all threats, and shows that the alliance remains ready to defend itself anywhere at any time. (U.S. Army photos by Spc.
