    Command Sgt. Maj. Brian Hauke, 1st Squadron, 17th Cavalry Regiment, 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade, demonstrates how to conduct an airborne operation by jumping from a 34-foot tower during a Spur Ride, July 25. The Spur Ride is a time-honored tradition that dates back to 1776 when new soldiers, known as “Shave Tails” were put through intensive training to learn how to handle their swords and horses in unison. Today, cavalry regiments throughout the Army uphold the traditions with a rigorous and lengthy event that tests troopers’ physical and mental strength. (Photo by U.S. Army Sgt.
