The Lacerda Cup is a three-day competition that tests hand-to-hand skills and close-quarters combative skill as individuals and teams compete in eight weight classes.
The competition was hosted by the Maneuver Center of Excellence. U.S. Army teams of eight Soldiers competed for the title.
The first event was scheduled to begin April 10 and the competition wrapped up with a formal award ceremony April 12.
The competition took place at Freedom Hall at Fort Benning.
The Army Combatives program kindles the flame of the Warrior Ethos by providing relevant combatives training to ensure every Soldier is tough and adaptive to changing conditions, more confident in their abilities, and equipped with the tools necessary to dominate the field of battle.
