On May 16th 2025, Montana’s 1-163rd Combined Arms Battalion hosted over a dozen British Army Soldiers of the Royal Wessex Yeomanry (RWxY) at the Limestone Hills Training Facility in a joint training event to help their armored crewmembers transition to the Challenger 3 tank which is currently in production. Training involved British armored crewmembers serving in their assigned roles on the M1A2 Abrams alongside our Montana National Guard Soldiers. This kind of joint training serves to enhance British Army readiness, build stronger allied partnerships, and project lethality on the battlefield. Lance Corporal Megan Fuller of the RWxY said, “I found it quite good. I think from our end getting everything cleared and organized to actually get over here and be able to fire on the platform has been a massive effort through our chain of command, but personally just being here on the ground, I’ve really enjoyed it. The RWxY is Britain’s Armored Reserve which features the Challenger 2 tank, now being upgraded to the Challenger 3 Main Battle Tank estimated to be fully operational by 2030. The Challenger 3 tank upgrade aligns with a continuing effort to standardize the interoperability, interchangeability, and lethality of NATO standard 120mm rounds for smoothbore main guns. According to Lieutenant Lyons of the RWxY, “There is really nothing like firing 120 millimeters of pure freedom.” Full video story to follow, so stay tuned.
