U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic Nicholas Merrick, left, speaks to Brig. Gen. John Mountford, deputy commanding general of readiness for the U.S. Army’s V Corps, center, and Col. Donald Neal Jr., commander of the 2nd Cavalry Division, right, during their visit to Růžov, a battle site of Operation Cowboy on the 81st anniversary, Czech Republic, April 30, 2026. The ceremony honored 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.
