Spc. Sean Shanahan (top), a military policeman with the 504th Military Police Battalion, 42nd MP Brigade, grapples with a fellow soldier at the combatives facility on Joint Base Lewis-McChord Feb. 15 during a morning workout with soldiers of his brigade who aspire to travel with the brigade's combatives team to JBLM's installation-wide tournament in April. Shanahan competed at the installation level last year but was disqualified on account of a "verbal tap." He hopes to best his previous performance.
