“Cold Steel” Soldiers of the 615th Aviation Support Battalion, 1st Air Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, wait to board a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter during the battalion’s Spur Ride at the Oberdachstetten training area just outside of Illesheim, Germany, Mar. 16, 2018. The Spur Ride, a grueling 48-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.
