The journey, dubbed Dragon Ride, will bring soldiers from 3rd Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment, from separate training locations in Estonia, Lithuania and Poland and convoy them through Latvia, the Czech Republic, before reaching home.
The entire effort is to help assure NATO allies with borders close to Russia that the U.S is committed to ensuring their security.
