Jason Kruck, the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Division’s 2nd Squadron, right, during a memorial ceremony on the 81st anniversary of Operation Cowboy, Hostouň, Czech Republic, April 30, 2026. The ceremony honored the 81st anniversary of Operation Cowboy, an ambitious World War II mission that united American and German forces in a daring rescue of hundreds of Lipizzaner horses as the war drew to a close. Soldiers joined Czech citizens for wreath-laying ceremonies, parades, and historical displays, continuing a tradition that links the current generation of regiment Soldiers to the unit’s storied past.
