Pre-Battle Veteran: Hand-to-Hand Combat Training
Lt. Col. Dave Grossman explains the concept behind this term, which he coined while a professor at West Point and how it connects with hand-to-hand combat training. Historically, veterans were those who had lived through combat. Today, with the use of realistic simulators, hand-to-hand combat training, airsoft and Simunitions, we have the capacity to create pre-battle veterans—trainees who have never been in combat but fight like veterans. This has made a whole new level of performance possible, as US military forces and law enforcement agencies have proven in recent years.
