Hand-to-hand combat is the ultimate test of a Soldier's ability to combine mind and body into a single, powerful force focused on defeating the enemy with whatever weapons are available.

As used by the Modern Army Combatives Program (MACP) at Fort Benning, GA, the U.S. Army's experts and instructors have created this handbook with the benefit of decades of experience teaching students of every ability to implement the physical and mental skills required to effect lethal devastation on their adversaries in conflicts around the world.

The simple, direct and effective skills and training procedures contained in this book will enable you, whether training within a unit, with a partner, or alone, to achieve deadly ability and matchless confidence as a close-combat fighter!
