Soldiers of Regimental Support Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, wearing their full combat uniform and chemical mask, attempt a team push-up during a “Spur Ride” on Contingency Operating Site Kalsu March 18, 2011. The soldiers completed an all-day event that tested their mental and physical limits for a place amongst the ranks of the “Order of the Spur”, a cavalry tradition that dates back to its origin.
