U.S. and U.K. Soldiers build teamwork while improving combat readiness during a spur ride Aug. 17-18 at Bemowo Piskie Training Area, Poland. BPTA Soldiers participated in a time-honored cavalry tradition that gave cavalry troops and partner nation participants the opportunity to earn and wear their silver spurs. The Soldiers are on a six-month rotational assignment in support of the multinational battle group comprised of U.S., U.K., Croatian and Romanian Soldiers who serve with the Polish 15th Mechanized Brigade as a defense and deterrence force in northeast Poland in support of NATO’s Enhanced Forward Presence at BPTA.
