Soldiers from the 871st Troop Command gather around Staff Sgt. Benjamin Sliger and 1st Sgt. Johnny Brown, Pre-mobilization Training Assistance Element combative instructors, to learn the next drill during a five-day Basic Combative Course at an annual training exercise here. “The Basic Combative Course takes untrained soldiers with no training whatsoever and equips them with the most training possible to prepare them for combat,” explained Sliger. “We use the basics of ground grappling, because it is easier to learn and easier to teach, and once we advance, we start incorporating Muay Thai, western boxing, judo and Americanized wrestling.” (Photo by Pfc.
