Iowa Army National Guard Soldiers set off on a ruck march 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. The Soldiers marched approximately six miles back to main base to conduct a series of lanes that would test them on various Army tasks and drills.
