Kevin Marshall from Raleigh, N.C., and Fritz Mageo from Pago Pago, American Samoa , both with 382 Combat Sustainment Support Detachment, Rough Riders, perform room clearing procedures in the Baath Party Palace, Baghdad, as he and his team participates in the United States Forces-Iraq "Spur Ride." Sixty-three Soldiers are mentally and physically pushed to their limits though a 16-hour event encompassing 12 rigorous stations that tested the Soldiers' abilities as they all attempt to join the Order of the Spur. Through teamwork forty-two of those Soldiers came together, passed the test and were accepted into the brotherhood of cavalrymen. On April 18, United States Forces-Iraq, Special Troops Battalion held a "Spur Ride" on Victory Base Compound to provide Soldiers an opportunity to participate in the Cavalry tradition and earn their golden spurs while deployed to Iraq.
