A UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter crew assigned to the 3rd Assault Helicopter Battalion, 227th Aviation Regiment, 1st Air Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, takes off with Spur Candidates on board as they move onto the next challenge of the battalion’s Spur Ride at the Oberdachstetten Training Area just outside of Illesheim, Germany, Feb. 2, 2018. The Spur Ride, a grueling 24-hour event that tests Soldiers’ mental and physical toughness, honors the lineage of cavalry units across the Army and upon completion of the event, Soldiers will earn their right to don spurs on their boots.
