    Cavalry troopers of 1-227th Attack, serving under the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade in Paktika province, Afghanistan, complete a grueling day shadowed by the setting sun during their winter Spur Ride. The Spur Ride is a tradition dating back to the beginning of the U.S. Cavalry, in which troopers are tested on their leadership, technical and tactical abilities, earning the right to wear silver Cavalry spurs.
