  • Cover
  • Preface
  • Table of Contents
  • CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION (Hand-to-hand combat is an engagement between two or more persons in an empty-handed struggle or with hand-held weapons such as knives, sticks, or projectile weapons that cannot be fired. Proficiency in hand-to-hand combat is one of the fundamental building blocks for training the modern soldier.)
    • [ Definition of Combatives ~ Purposes of Combative Training ~ Basic Principles ~ Safety ]
  • CHAPTER 2. TRAINING (This chapter discusses the trainer’s role in teaching and sustaining effective hand-to-hand combat. It also discusses unit training, training areas, teaching techniques, and safety precautions that must be considered before conducting combatives training.)
    • Section I. Train-the-Trainer [ Responsibilities of Trainers ~ Safety Precautions ]
    • Section II. Unit Training [ Basic or One-Station Unit Training ~ Unit Sustainment ~ Training Program ]
    • Section III. Training Areas [ Training Formations ~ Matted Room ~ Pit Construction ~ Bayonet Assault Course ]
    • Section IV. Teaching Techniques [ Warm-Ups and Stretches ~ Crawl, Walk, and Run ~ Demonstrations ~ Execution by the Numbers ~ Execution at Combat Speed ~ Drills ~ Training Pads and Other Protective Equipment ]
  • CHAPTER 3. BASIC GROUND-FIGHTING TECHNIQUES (Basic ground-fighting techniques build a fundamental understanding of dominant body position, which should be the focus of most combatives training before moving on to the more difficult standing techniques. Ground fighting is also where technique can most easily be used to overcome size and strength.)
    • Section I. Dominant Body Position [ Back Mount ~ Front Mount ~ Guard ~ Side Control ]
    • Section II. Basic Techniques [ Body Positioning Moves ~ Finishing Moves ~ Drills ~ Defense Against Headlocks ]
  • CHAPTER 4. ADVANCED GROUND-FIGHTING TECHNIQUES (After achieving an understanding of the basics of ground fighting, other elements of fighting on the ground are added. These techniques, however, are dependent on a thorough grasp of the basics. Being systematic is important in building competent fighters. Staying with the program will not only produce competent fighters quickly, but will produce the most competent fighters over time as well.)
    • Section I. Advanced Attacks [ Advanced Body Positions ~ Pass the Guard ~ Attacks from the Mount ~ Attacks from the Back Mount ~ Attacks from the Guard ~ Knee Mount ~ Leg Attacks ]
    • Section II. Strikes [ Pass the Guard ~ Striking from Side Control ~ Defending Against Strikes in the Guard ]
  • CHAPTER 5. TAKEDOWNS AND THROWS (Before progressing into takedowns and throws, soldiers must learn how to fall to the ground without getting hurt, both during training and during combat. Each practice repetition of a throw or takedown is a chance for the training partner to perfect his breakfalls.)
    • [ Breakfalls ~ Closing the Distance and Achieving the Clinch ~ Throw and Takedown Techniques ~ Defending Against Headlocks ~ Takedowns from Against a Wall ~ Double Leg Attack ~ Single Leg Attacks ~ Attacks from the Rear ]
  • CHAPTER 6. STRIKES (Strikes are an inefficient method of ending a fight. However, they are a significant part of most fights, and a soldier must have an understanding of fighting at striking range. It is important to note that while at striking range, you are open to being struck. For this reason, it is often better to avoid striking range.)
    • [ Arm Strikes ~ Punching Combinations ~ Kicks ~ Transition Between Ranges ]
  • CHAPTER 7. HANDHELD WEAPONS (Handheld weapons provide a significant advantage during a fight. For soldiers to be well trained in their use there must be connectivity between the techniques of armed and unarmed fighting. As soldiers progress in their training, bayonet fighting techniques that are taught in initial entry training will merge with the other elements of hand-to-hand fighting to produce a soldier who is capable of operating across the full range of force.)
    • Section I. Offensive Techniques [ Angles of Attack ~ Rifle with Fixed Bayonet ~ Bayonet/Knife ~ Knife-Against-Rifle Sequence ~ Advanced Weapons Techniques and Training ]
    • Section II. Field-Expedient Weapons [ Entrenching Tool ~ Three-Foot Stick ~ Six-Foot Pole ]
  • CHAPTER 8. STANDING DEFENSE (A soldier cannot count on starting every encounter in a superior position. To survive, he must have simple techniques that will bring him back into his fight plan.)
    • Section I. Unarmed Opponent [Defense Against Chokes ~ Defense Against Bear Hugs ]
    • Section II. Armed Opponent [ Defense Against Armed Opponent ~ Defense Against a Knife ~ Unarmed Defense Against a Rifle with Fixed ]
  • CHAPTER 9. GROUP TACTICS (Most hand-to-hand situations on the battlefield will involve several people. Varying levels of force will be appropriate based on the situation and rules of engagement. Whether there are more friendlies or enemies, or whether or not some of the parties are armed, soldiers should enter a fight with a well-rehearsed plan and an overall fight strategy.)
    • Section I. Lethal Force Scenarios [ Range ~ Control ~ Finishing ]
    • Section II. Restrictive Force Scenarios [ Two Against One ~ Three Against Two ~ Parity ~ One Against Two ~ Two Against Three ]
