Following the presentation of spurs, the graduates will conduct their first open field charge led by B Troop commander Jay Hizer. It begins when the bugler sounds the charge. Once the charge concludes, B Troop’s K Battery will fire a round in honor of the graduates.
B Troop advances the interests of the U.S. Army, military horsemanship of the 1880s and the history of Fort Huachuca. They are the only all volunteer ceremonial unit in the Army.
