Spc. Patrick Fisher and Sgt. Aixha Linares, two Troopers assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 1st Cavalry Division, participate in a Spur Ride at Fort Hood, Texas, Dec. 17, 2025. The spur ride event is a team-building exercise and a ceremonial rite of passage for U.S. Army Soldiers who wish to represent the history and tradition of the mounted cavalry by earning their spurs, a uniform ornament spur-holders wear on the heels of their boots. The military exercise tested the Troopers' endurance and resiliency over the course of over 30 hours and in 21 lanes of military tasks, skills, and knowledge, culminating in the spur ceremony where they are presented with their silver spurs.
