U.S. Army Alaska Soldiers Spc. Chris Nunas, C Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Infantry Regiment, 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, a native of Phoenix, Ariz., and Spc. Adam Dickson, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 3rd Battalion (Airborne), 509th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, a native of Easton, Penn., compete in the final day of the 2015 USARAK Combatives Tournament at the Buckner Physical Fitness Center on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Friday, June 5, 2015. Less-experienced fighters competed in basic rules bouts Thursday, while more skilled fighters advanced to matches on Friday. Combatives, or hand-to-hand combat, is much like mixed martial arts fighting and allows the use of both striking and grappling techniques, both standing and on the ground, from a variety of combat sports. Proficiency in hand-to-hand combat is one of the fundamental building blocks for training the modern Soldier. (U.S. Air Force photo/Justin Connaher)
