U.S. Army Combatives Level 1

The Modern Army Combatives Program was established in 1995 and continues to evolve with the changes of modern warfare and
equipment that is worn by the Soldiers of today. The Modern Army Combatives Level 1 Course is designed to teach Soldiers the basics
of self defense and to familiarize them with the challenges of hand to hand combat under stress and while wearing all of their assigned
protective equipment such as Vest, Ammo pouches, Weapons and other worn equipment. The Combatives level 1 course lasts five days
and currently covers three drills and choking techniques which are practiced extensively from day 1 through 4 and tested on day 5. The
Army Combatives Course is very physically demanding so you may be in for a rough week of training if you have not been getting the
most out of your PT sessions. Talk to your Training NCO if you are interested in attending the Modern Army Combatives Level 1 Course,
you will need a mouth guard, groin protector, sandals, ACU, ACH, IBA and water bottle. The following are some of the basic techniques
that are taught at the Combatives Level 1 Course:
