Army 1st Lt. Thomas Stackhouse, a paratrooper assigned to B Troop, 1st Squadron, 40th Cavalry Regiment (Airborne), 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, U.S. Army Alaska, recites “Fiddler’s Green” during a celebratory Spur Lunch held at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, March 13, 2020. After successfully completing the rigorous Denali Spur Ride the paratroopers were inducted into the Order of the Spur and awarded their silver spurs. The Spur Ride is a U.S. Army Cavalry tradition and a rite of passage for new troopers to the unit. The multi-day Denali Spur Ride, conducted under high levels of stress and fatigue, physically and mentally tested the paratroopers’ technical and tactical proficiency though a series of challenging tasks relevant to the Cavalry.
