Spc. Michael Sierras, left, C Company, 3rd Battalion (Airborne), 509th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, U.S. Army Alaska, a native of Temple, Texas, and Air Force Staff Sgt. Jeffrey Sanderson, 773rd Civil Engineer Squadron, a native of Columbia, Mo., 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)
