I am indeed Sorry to hear of the demise of the old Canadian Armor Trophy (CAT). While Stationed in Gelnhausen, Germany in 1985-87, I was a very Proud Member of the very first American Team (3/33 Armored Regiment, which half way through the competion became 4/8 Cav) to ever win the CAT Trophy. We (Ourselves as well as the other Countries competing) considered it to be not unlike The Olympics, Military Style. I know for a fact that there were American, German, French, and of course Canadian teams competing. While I do remember that a few other countries involved, I can't for the life of me remember exactly what countries they were. It was almost Twenty Years ago, after all. The competition was primarily based on Tank Gunnery, But as 1 of 4 Medics assigned to the American Team, I was judged on my "Range Performance" as well. It was the best year and a half of my entire 12 year Military Career. I still have my Nomex Uniform with The Canadian Armor Trophy Patches, 3rd Armor Division patches, and a couple of Uniforms I traded with other team members of other Countries.

Well that's not quite correct you're saying.....

As i was a contestant myself for the dutch army in 1985 , i know the US only won one discipline and the total victory went to the Dutch Army  A-Esk 43 TkBAt.
