The Oregon National Guard held its first U.S. Army Combatives Tournament in Salem, Ore., July 25 at the Anderson Readiness Center. Maj. Ed Winkler and Sgt. Joe Seeger struggle for dominance during the competition. Winkler went on to win this match and came in fourth overall in his weight class. He was motivated to get involved in the tournament following a deployment to the Middle East where in his words he realized "that the fight wasn't at 300 meters, it was at 30 meters." He went on to say that combatives like this emphasize the close-quarters combat and represent some of the best preparation available for the battlefield.
