    Troopers from the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade, Task Force Poseidon, place their feet on a bench at Forward Operating Base Fenty as their sponsors place newly-earned combat spurs on their boots, March 2. This tradition dates back to the mid-1800s where awarding of gold-plated spurs signified entry into the ranks and fraternity of the mounted warrior.
