Summary[edit]

Description
English: Capt. Jonathan Proctor, former commander of Troop B "Bonecrushers," and 1st Sgt. Sean Jarvis, Bonecrushers' first sergeant, were presented with The Goodrich Riding Trophy, March 27. The soldiers of Troop B "Bonecrushers" with 3rd Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, were presented the Draper Armor Leadership Award by Maj. Gen. John M. Murray, commanding general of the 3rd Infantry Division. Lt. Col. Wickliffe P. Draper established the Draper Armor Leadership Award in 1924, as a means to competitively test the leadership of small Cavalry units. The test was oriented to the platoon level of Horse Cavalry. The first Cavalry Leadership Test for small units was held at Fort Riley, Kansas, the then-home of the cavalry school. The cavalry school now resides at Fort Benning. The Goodrich Riding Trophy resulted from a conversation between Major L.E. Goodrich, Cavalry Reserve, and General Malin Craig, Chief of Cavalry, in 1926. Originally, Major Goodrich donated $500 to sponsor a mounted service ride. However, the final outcome of correspondence between the Chief of Cavalry and Major (later Colonel) Goodrich was the bronze equestrian statue.
