CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

1. Purpose and Scope

This manual is written to teach you hand-to-hand combat. It describes the various blows, holds, footwork, armwork, and other maneuvers used to disable or kill an enemy in hand-to-hand fighting. It also explains how to use all available objects as weapons. Hand-to-hand combat stresses simple, aggressive tactics. You can subdue an opponent only through offensive measures.


2. Necessity for Training

The average soldier, if trained only in the use of his basic weapon, loses his effectiveness if his weapon fails to fire or if he should lose or break it. With a knowledge of hand-to-hand combat and the confidence and aggressiveness to fight hand-to-hand, the soldier is able to attack and dispose of his opponent. Training in hand-to-hand combat is also useful for night patrols and other occasions when silence is required. This type fighting is taught to soldiers in rear areas as well as those in front lines because of the threat of infiltration, airborne attacks, and guerilla warfare.

CHAPTER 2
FUNDAMENTALS OF HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT

3. General

Five fundamentals are used as a guide in learning hand-to-hand combat. These fundamentals are making full use of any available weapon; attacking aggressively by using your maximum strength against your enemys weakest point; maintaining your balance and destroying your opponents; using your opponents momentum to advantage; and learning each phase of all the movements precisely and accurately before attaining speed through constant practice.


4. Using Available Weapons

a. When fighting hand-to-hand, your life is always at stake. The use of any object as a weapon, therefore, is necessary to help subdue your enemy. You can make your opponent duck or turn aside by throwing sand or dirt in his face or by striking at him with an entrenching tool, a steel helmet, or a web belt. When no object is available, just the pretense of throwing something may cause an enemy to flinch and cover up. When he does this, you must take advantage of his distraction to attack aggressively with but one purpose in mind TO KILL .
