Army Staff Sgt. Benjamin Bell, a native of Fayetteville, NC, assigned to A Troop, 1st Squadron, 40th Cavalry Regiment (Airborne), 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, U.S. Army Alaska, draws his weapon on an attacker during Level 2 Modern Army Combatives Program tasks designed to enhance unit combat readiness by building personal courage, confidence, and resiliency as well as situational responsiveness to close quarters threats in an operational environment. The MACP defines combatives, or hand-to-hand combat, as an engagement between two or more persons in an empty-handed struggle or with hand-held weapons such as knives, sticks or projectile weapons. Proficiency in hand-to-hand combat is one of the fundamental building blocks for training the modern U.S. Army soldier. (U.S. Air Force photo/Justin Connaher)
