The grappling base developed with the 75th Regiment R&D Team contributed to the evolution of which program?

• A. MACP
• B. SOCP
• C. LINE
• D. Basic Combat Training

Answer: (A)

This question tests how a practical grappling foundation helped shape a formal Army close-quarters fighting program. The grappling base developed with the 75th Regiment R&D Team provided the concrete techniques, balance concepts, and progression steps that became the backbone of a standardized system. That foundation was incorporated into the Modern Army Combatives Program, creating a coherent, safer, and scalable set of grappling and ground-fighting techniques used across the Army today. The other options come from different lines or scopes of training that don’t trace directly to that specific grappling development: the Special Operations Combatives Program serves a distinct elite lineage, Basic Combat Training covers broad skills rather than a formalized combatives curriculum, and LINE isn’t the recognized program associated with that grappling work. So the grappling base contributed to the evolution of MACP.
