Staff Sgt. Wilbertson Smith, 423rd Security Forces Squadron patrolman from Royal Air Force Alconbury, U.K., watches as instructors demonstrate a self-defense maneuver during a security forces combative course Jan. 14 on Ramstein. The seven-day course is designed to teach security force members weapon retention and self-defense so they can handle hostile situations using the most peaceful means possible. Though the course is held at Ramstein, geographically separated units send members to be trained as an instructor to be able to spread that knowledge upon their return to their home station.
