Modern Army Combatives Program Part 2: Brotherhood through Warrior Ethos

"I explained in Part 1 what the Modern Army Combatives Program is, and I’ve explained why it is tactically important. However, MACP also plays a crucial role in mental development prior to deployment. Despite the months of training each troop must endure before entering Iraq, none of it can mentally prepare a soldier to run head first into a dangerous situation - such as a firefight - without hesitation. 2-104th Cavalry MACP instructors SFC Eddie Toth, SSG Andrew Frengel and SGT Robert Badua argue that hand-to-hand training addresses this concern and builds Warrior Ethos."
