197th IN BDE, Forever Forward Tueller Drill
The Tueller Drill is a self-defense training exercise used by police to prepare against a short-range knife attack when armed only with a holstered handgun.
It is used in MACP to illustrate at what distance grappling range begins. A “shooter” is armed with only a training replica gun. An “attacker”, wearing a
protective facemask and armed with a martial arts belt with which to strike the shooter, attacks the shooter from increasing distances until he is able to bring the weapon to bear to stop the attack.

Training the Soldiers and future Leaders of the Army!
197th IN BDE, Forever Forward Grappling with Electricity There is no way to know whether or not the person you are fighting is armed or
not. You must therefore fight everyone as if they are armed. During the Grappling with Electricity drill, Students grapple over a 100,000 volt
stun gun which is in one of their pockets. The keys to success are fighting everyone as if they are armed and in controlling
your opponent in almost the same way they did before the weapon was introduced.

Standing Grappling with Weapon
Weapons transition happens when you are already in a fight. Pummeling skills allow you to clear your weapon so that it can be deployed.
![Page 14: Fighting with Close Contact Weapons](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042600/58a046cd1a28ab774a8c7aaa/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

197th IN BDE, Forever Forward Ground Grappling with Pistol
The primary concern is keeping the enemy from getting control of your weapon.
His attempts to grab it, combined
with proper retention devices, can give you opportunities to attack.

197th IN BDE, Forever Forward Daggers
Daggers typically are double bladed and are designed primarily for stabbing. The purpose of the sharpened edges is more to make it difficult for an enemy to grasp than any thought of attacking by cutting. .

197th IN BDE, Forever Forward Utility Knives
Utility Knives are designed primarily to be useful tools for Soldiers daily life. They are typically single bladed and have a much wider blade to prevent breakage. They can be useful for stabbing, although somewhat less so than daggers, and allow some other types of attacks.
