Colonel John Meyer (second right), regimental commander for 2nd Cavalry Regiment, introduces Martin Stropnicky (second left), the minister of defense of the Czech Republic, Czech army General Josef Becvar (center) and United States Ambassador to the Czech Republic Andrew Shapiro (right) to 2nd Cav. Reg. Soldiers and Stryker vehicles, in Ruzyne, Poland, May 27. Soldiers of 2nd Cav. Reg. had just completed the first leg of their tactical road march in Stryker Combat Vehicles from Rose Barracks, Germany to Tapa Military Training Area, Estonia. “What’s amazing for the Soldiers participating in this operation is that they are adding to the history and legacy of this formation,” said Meyer. “This regiment is bigger than ourselves, this regiment has served our country and these young Soldiers have volunteered and taken an oath to support and defend this Constitution and these ideals that make our nation great.” On their journey approximately 1,400 Soldiers, in 400 vehicles, will be covering over 2,200 kilometers, through six countries. Dragoon Ride is conducted to validate our partnering allies’ abilities to assemble forces rapidly, deploy them on short notice and improve the ability to shoot, move and communicate as a multinational allegiance.
