    Soldiers assigned to 4th Cavalry, Multifunction Training Brigade, 1st Army Division East, earn their spurs during a Spur Ride, culminating June 2nd, 2022 ar Fort Knox, Kentucky.
    The Order of the Spur is a Cavalry tradition within the United States
    Army. Soldiers serving in Cavalry units are inducted into the Order of
    the Spur after successfully completing a series of evaluations set by the
    command, culminating in the final test; the "Spur Ride". Induction into the Order of the Spur is for life, and the status travels
    with the soldier from unit to unit.
    “By going through the Spur Ride, and earning their Spurs, Soldiers strengthen cohesion and build resilience by overcoming adverse circumstances,” said Maj. Matthew Swim, the executive officer for 4th Battalion, 410th Infantry Regiment, 4th Cavalry, Saber Brigade. “We are very proud of the Soldiers for carrying on the tradition, and earning the Order of the Spur.”
