Iowa Army National Guard Soldiers break into smiles 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. In the first few hours of the event, Soldiers had to recite several Army passages, such as the Soldier’s Creed, from memory.
