FORT CARSON, COLO. -- The Army is officially opening a new outdoor training center at Fort Carson to focus on "combatives," the technique of subduing an enemy in hand-to-hand combat without firearms.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for 11 a.m. Wednesday.
The Combatives Training Facility has a 50-by-50 foot roof with lights so soldiers can train in bad weather and in limited light.
It also has a 32-by-32 foot training area that has been rubberized to lessen the risk of injury.
Every soldier at the Mountain Post is required to undergo combatives training.
