Iowa Army National Guard Soldiers demonstrate a tactical sprint during a Spur Ride event at Camp Nothing Hill, Kosovo, on May 29, 2021. A Spur Ride is the only means of joining the Order of the Spur, a cavalry tradition in the Army during which troops must pass a series of physical, mental and tactical tests relevant to the Cavalry. This event tested the Soldiers’ ability to clearly communicate their actions and move with speed under duress.
