Army Pvt. JuanDiego Torres, a native of Oakland, Calif., assigned to 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment, 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, U.S. Army Alaska, tries to break free while grappling with another soldier during a Modern Army Combatives Program scenario on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Feb. 6, 2020, 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)
