Spur ride candidates with the 6th Squadron, 1st Cavalry

Spur ride candidates with the 6th Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team (Stryker), 1st Armored Division, carry their battle buddies during the squadron’s spur ride, May 10, 2018, at Fort Bliss, Texas. The spur ride is a time-honored cavalry tradition that gives cavalry troops the opportunity to earn and wear their silver spurs by participating in a series of physical and mental challenges that test Soldiers’ strength and character while building camaraderie and esprit de corps.
