Fort Stewart, Ga.- The 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team of 3rd Infantry Division, opened the doors to their Modern Army Combatives training facility on Dec. 2, 2017, at Fort Stewart, Ga.
Since the opening of the facility, two basic combatives courses have been completed.
The mission of the U.S. Army Combatives Course is to train leaders and Soldiers in close quarters combatives to instill a warrior ethos and prepare Soldiers to close with and defeat the enemy in hand to hand combat.
The Modern Army Combatives Program (MACP) started in 1995 with the 2nd Ranger Battalion and has spread throughout the Army since.
Staff Sgt. Thomas Wrighthouse, the Spartan Brigade combatives master trainer, said, “The fight house was created to facilitate combatives training to 2nd ABCT Soldiers; however, the gym is open to all Soldiers across the Marne Division.”
The fight house can also be used for physical readiness training during weekdays from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., said Wrighthouse.
“The evening classes are for those interested in honing more advanced skills,” he said. “This year’s course schedule is slated for release soon.”
Units who are interested in using the facility for training, contact Wrighthouse directly at thomas.j.wrighthouse.mil@mail.mil for scheduling.
