    Soldiers from the 871st Troop Command practice Basic Combative drills while the instructors observe during an annual training exercise here. “Stay open minded,” advised Staff Sgt. Benjamin Sliger, Pre-mobilization Training Assistance Element combative instructor. “Don’t be afraid. We’re not in the business of hurting soldiers. Our goal here is to train you for combat. Just come in here with an open mind, well take care of you as long as you listen and follow the directions given. You’ll leave here a better, more confidant soldier.” (Photo by Pfc. Haley E. Haile)
