    SAC Manual Number 125-2

    Headquarters Strategic Air Command

    Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska

    September 1958

    Foreword

    1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE. This manual describes the basic principles in the application

    of control and restraint techniques. The application of these principles is necessary to the

    development of those combative skills essential to air police personnel in the performance

    of their official duties. Corollary benefits will be the development of self-confidence andthe promotion of physical fitness.

    2. BACKGROUND. The nature of air police duties is such that military personnel engaged

    therein must at all times be mentally and physically prepared to apply whatever force is

    necessary to accomplish their mission. The air policemans training dictates that he firstresort to all means short of the use of force to control any situation. There will occur certain

    circumstances under which the use of force is unavoidable. The ability to act effectively

    will quickly terminate such encounters in favor of the air policeman with little or no injuryto the offender. This manual is intended to provide further refinements to basic training in

    air police control and restraint techniques, and to develop and instill confidence within the

    air policeman in his ability to cope with such situations.

    FOR THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF:

    BYRON K. ENYART

    Colonel, USAF

    Director of Administrative Services

    This manual contains no copyright material.

    This directive pertains to all SAC bases.

    Section I. General

    1. PURPOSE. This manual prescribes the basic maneuvers and application of control and

    restraint techniques so as to impart such essential combative skills (Judo) as are required ofair police in the performance of their official duties, to develop self-confidence, and to

    promote physical conditioning.

    2. OBJECTIVE. The objectives are:

    a. To insure the ability of the air police to tactfully and skillfully cope with situationswhich require the use of force in the control and/or restraint of personnel.

    b. To integrate combative training with modern control procedures, teaching the

    principles of restraint so as to prevent the use of unnecessary force in the handlingof military personnel and/or prisoners.

    3. RESPONSIBILITY. The base provost marshal will monitor and supervise this training in

    accordance with SACR 50-9.

    Section II. Fundamental Principles

    4. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES. There are a number of fundamentals in combatives

    measures skills. Some must be observed at all times; and others are used in special

    situations. Where one begins and the other leaves off is difficult to define and can only be

    determined by the user. Often the application is separated only by a split second. Theessential principles basic to effective combative measures and restraint application are:

    a. Relaxation the keeping of mental or physical tension at a minimum by "giving

    way" to resistance. This practice tends to increase self-control and adaptability incombative measures performance.

    b. Psychological time creating the element of surprise by temporarily distracting the

    adversarys attention through subtle psychological or physical means forpreparation of attack, counterattack, or control.

    c. Leverage grasping the clothing and applying the fulcrum-lever principle against

    the adversarys weaker muscles, joints, or off-balance positions serves as a means of

    leverage in the control or handling of individuals.d. Footwork correct shifting of the feet insures both balance and strong

    counterattacking positions. Crossing the legs must be avoided. The effective control

    of the adversary is dependent upon proper footwork.e. Physical timing the principle of physical timing is to attack at the split second

    when weight, momentum, and strength are gathered for use against itself.

    5. BALANCE. Mental balance, or stability, is a state of mind that is necessary before

    physical balance can be achieved. Physical balance must be retained by the air policemanand destroyed in his adversary. The destruction of the adversarys body balance, after he

    has been led by a finesse or subtle movement into an off-balance position, is a fundamental

    of Judo technique. A sudden push or pull applied to the upper parts of the body will weakenor break body balance and serve to nullify the adversarys strength or offensive power.

    Once the adversary has been place off balance, he should not be allowed to regain it. This

    should be followed by immediate control or restraint.

    6. ON-GUARD POSITION. To get into a position which offers fighting maneuverabilityfor offense, defense, or control, the feet are placed apart about the distance of the width orthe shoulders, palms are open, posture is erect, and knees are slightly bent. (Figure 1.) In

    this position, the air policeman can move about and is in a state of readiness to meet the

    adversary according to the action or type of control that might be required to terminate thesituation. Positions of movement as indicated in figures 2, 3, 4, and 5 may also be applied

    from the on-guard position.

    8. STRIKING TECHNIQUES.

    a. If striking is necessary, striking techniques must be used only to the extent

    necessary to effectively control a physical problem situation. All striking techniques

    should be executed with caution and control. The more serious types of blowsshould never be administered unless a life is endangered.

  • 7/28/2019 Air Police Control and Restraint Techniques

    6/32

    b. The immediate objective in any offensive or defensive encounter is to control the

    adversary as quickly as possible, and if it becomes necessary to administer sometype of striking technique, it should be executed with lightning action and accuracy.

    In executing these techniques, one should always bear in mind the following points:

    1. The bone edges of the limbs can be used as a means of attacking thesensitive nerve plexuses or soft areas of the body, either from far range orground positions in which self-defense may be involved.

    2. Striking techniques directed to muscle areas or across bone areas are

    effective in diverting the attacker from any mode of attack. An element of

    surprise is effected when this technique is applied. It is recommended onlyagainst an antagonist who is difficult to control.

    3. Blows directed to any of the vital areas are the most serious and effective

    toward "knocking out" the antagonist. These areas are located at the base ofthe occipital mastoid process, nasion, point of chin, thyroid cartilage, carotid

    artery, and testicles.

    4. Blows delivered to attackers midsection cause a sickening feeling and arevery disconcerting. Digging or pressure action by use of the knuckles and

    finger points may be effectively used to produce shock against nerve areas

    and gain control of the antagonist.

    Section III. Control and Restraint Methods

    9. GENERAL.

    a. Once a person has been apprehended or subdued, the air policeman must "take him

    in" in order to complete the arrest. If he is drunk, unruly, or potentially dangerous,

    he must be kept helpless. Applying proper restraint or come-along makes the

  • 7/28/2019 Air Police Control and Restraint Techniques

    8/32

    prisoner amenable to movement or to other actions by the air policeman. A come-

    along or other type of restraint is often used in preparation for handcuffing oradditional mechanical means of control.

    b. No come-along or restraint applied without mechanical means has been developed

    that can be maintained successfully over a long period of time against a prisoner

    who is in full possession of his faculties and who is determined to break it. It is truethat some escapes from come-alongs may be made at the expense of broken bones

    or painful dislocations. If the adversary is desperate enough, this will not deter him.

    If the come-along or restraint must be maintained over considerable distance, or fora considerable length of time, it is advisable to apply handcuffs or other mechanical

    means or keep the prisoner under definite control through continuous use of

    leverage or follow-up extreme methods if necessary.c. Control or restraint techniques in this guide are based on the following approaches:

    1. Psychological approach. This may consist of reasoning with the individual.

    All too often an antagonistic approach merely aggravates the situation and

    leads to the use of force which might otherwise have been prevented.Application of common sense, a courteous but firm manner, and basic

    leadership principles are essential to the initial approach to any situation.

    The position of interrogation, as shown in figure 9, is the basic position forall maneuvers. From this position, the interrogator is so situated as to apply

    any of the come-along and/or restraint holds.

    Figure 9. Position of interrogation

    2. Physical approach. When all psychological approaches to handling

    individuals have been exhausted and it becomes necessary to resort to the

    use of force, restraining techniques should be applied in the manner that bestsuits the situation.

  • 7/28/2019 Air Police Control and Restraint Techniques

    9/32

    a. Mild application. This consists of utilizing a light grasp of the individuals

    sleeve with the hand and guiding him in the direction desired. From thisposition, the air policeman will be prepared to prevent or control any

    increased resistance initiated by the individual. (Figure 10.)

    Figure 10. Mild application

    b. Medium application. This consists of progression from mild application to

    more vigorous techniques when the individual is strong and aggressive. Thedegree of control to be applied falls short of full application of severeleverage or other maximum force. (Figure 11.)

  • 7/28/2019 Air Police Control and Restraint Techniques

    10/32

    Figure 11. Medium application

    c. Advanced application. This consists of throws, chokes, or application of

    severe leverage when the individual is uncontrollable. It is applied when it is

    necessary to immediately terminate any situation which may involve astruggle. It is used in extreme cases when the individual is dangerous and

    when self-defense is an absolute necessity. (Figure 12.)

    Figure 12. Advanced application

    d. In applying restraint or come-along methods, initial control of the adversary

    is effected by grasping his clothing with concentration directed toward use

  • 7/28/2019 Air Police Control and Restraint Techniques

    11/32

    of resistance or use of extension or flexed arm movement. For example, if

    the adversarys arm is in the extended position, leverage should be appliedto his elbow. (Figure 13.)

    Figure 13. Elbow leverage

    e. If resistance is offered to this application, and the adversarys arm or wrist is

    in a flexed position (Figure 14), leverage would be logically applied to either

    the wrist or shoulder. (Figures 24, 25, 27, 28, and 29.)

    Figure 14. Example position of resistance

    12/32

    Section IV. Maneuvers and Restraint

    10. CONTROL. When direct or immediate control is necessary from the position of

    interrogation or during the progress of any close contact situation, it may be secured by

    dragging or spinning the adversary off balance to create an opening or definite application

    of restraint or control.

    11. TWO-POINT SPIN AND CONTROL. This method may be taken by swiftly pinioning

    the adversarys arms to his sides with a simultaneous clockwise or counter-clockwise

    movement of his body. (Figures 15 and 16.) Progression into the most suitable restraint

    may be applied as indicated in figures 10, 17, 18, 19, 20, 31, and 32.

    Figure 15. Two-point spin and control

  • 7/28/2019 Air Police Control and Restraint Techniques

    13/32

    Figure 16. Two-point spin and control

    12. SHOULDER DRAG. If the adversary resists the two-point control or any of the initial

    control or restraint leverages, the shoulder drag may be executed by twisting the

    adversarys shoulder diagonally to his footing. (Figure 17.) At this point, immediateapplication of cross-shoulder control or half choke (figures 18 and 19) may be effected.

    Figure 17. Shoulder drag

  • 7/28/2019 Air Police Control and Restraint Techniques

    14/32

    Figure 18. Cross-shoulder control

    Figure 19. Half choke

    13. FRONT ARM DRAG. The front arm drag is an advanced method which can be appliedin maneuvering the adversary off balance and may be used in various close contact

    positions or from counter-offensive ground positions. It is an effective method when direct

    action is required. It may be secured by reaching forward with the right hand and graspingunder the adversarys arm at his triceps point. The drag is swiftly initiated by pulling him

    directly forward. (Figure 20.) From this point, controls illustrated in figures 18, 19, 31, and

    32 may be applied. If necessary, blows or advance throwing techniques can also be applied

    in the process of the arm drag.

  • 7/28/2019 Air Police Control and Restraint Techniques

    15/32

    Figure 20. Front arm drag

    14. CHECK BEHIND. If advance checking of the adversarys movement or resistance is

    required, he may be controlled by quickly destroying his footing and thrusting the arm

    across his lower jaw. (Figure 21.) This movement will force him off balance and backwardsto the ground where further control or restraint may be applied. (Reference figures 33 and

    34.) The check-behind method may also be applied as a counter to variable rear or frontal

    attack situations.

    Figure 21. Check behind

    15. FULL HAMMERLOCK. When the adversary checks the initial sleeve leverage by

    throwing his arm over the air policemans grasping hand (figure 22), the follow-up is made

    by immediately grasping the adversarys elbow with the other hand and applying leverageto the elbow and shoulder (figure 23). Simultaneously, pivot and wrap his arm into a

    twisting position above his back (figure 24) and increase leverage on the elbow and

    shoulder by throwing the hip in front of the adversarys elbow (figure 25). Use the free

  • 7/28/2019 Air Police Control and Restraint Techniques

    16/32

    hand for further control of the adversary by either grasping the top forelock of his hair or

    the back of his collar. This method is considered extreme leverage and may be adapted tovarious attack situations where cautious control of the adversary may be required.

    Figure 25. Full hammerlock (step 4)

    16. FOREARM-ELBOW LOCK COME-ALONG. This is another come-along with a great

    deal of merit. Properly applied, it makes a hold strong enough to escort a prisoner a shortdistance. If pressure is maintained on the forearm, you have complete control of your

    opponent. The air policeman takes an overhand grasp of his adversarys inside wrist withhis right hand; he stretches the arm in front of him and simultaneously releases his left handgrasp of the sleeve or elbow; he advances his left hand under the right shoulder to the front

    of the chest and applies leverage to the secured arm across the forearm or chest. (Figure

    26.) Further progression may be applied as indicated in figures 14, 29, 30, 31, and 32.

  • 7/28/2019 Air Police Control and Restraint Techniques

    18/32

    Figure 26. Forearm-elbow lock come-along

    17. WRIST COME-ALONG. As mentioned before, the application of leverage depends

    upon the adversarys movement and resistance. If he flexes his arm, the logical application

    of control is the wrist leverage series indicated in figures 27, 28, and 29. The followingtechnique is the most effective of all come-alongs, especially when you are forced to walk a

    man a long distance and keep him under control. This position is maintained by twisting his

    hand and wrist toward you at any sign of rebellion. By applying slight pressure on thewrist, you can raise your victim up on his toes and, by this means, you will know that he is

    completely under your control. This come-along has the advantage of allowing you, in most

    cases, to maintain sufficient pressure with one hand while you walk along with a weapon inyour right hand. This application can be reversed for the purpose of leaving your left hand

    free. The wrist come-along may be applied from any of the positions shown in figures 11,

    12, 13, 14, 20, and 26.

    Figure 29. Wrist come-along (step 3)

    18. REVERSE FOREARM-ELBOW LOCK. If the adversarys arm is in an extended

    position, reach across and grab his right wrist with your right hand, raising it about waist

    high. Move over to his right and slip your left arm over his forearm and under his rightelbow, at a point just above the elbow. In this position, the sharp bone of your left forearm

    can be used to lift upward against the elbow, while the right hand can press down. To make

    the hold more secure, grip the coat or lapel with your left hand once the arm is in place.(Figure 30.) Further progression may be applied as shown in figures 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 24,

    25, 31, and 32.

    Figure 30. Reverse forearm-elbow lock

    19. WHEELBARROW CROTCH LIFT. From the initial sleeve guide position, the air

    policeman quickly reaches over with his right hand and grasps the adversarys right wrist;he stretches the arm with a whip-like motion and breaks the adversarys balance forward

    (figure 31); he draws the arm underneath the crotch and moves to the rear (figure 32). He

    then advances by grasping the right wrist with his left hand, keeping the adversary off

    balance by exerting a lifting movement under the crotch. This method is applicable inmoving adversaries into vehicles, rooms, or cells. This maneuver may be applied from

    positions indicated in figures 2, 3, 4, and 5.

    Section VI Breaking Up Fight, Individual Air Policeman

    22. INDIVIDUAL AIR POLICEMAN. If the air policeman is handling a fight situation, he

    should immediately place himself in a safe position and be ready to apply sleeve leverage.At such time as the opportunity presents itself, he should grasp both fighters with sleeve

    leverage (figure 35) and immediately spin them apart (figure 36). Follow-ups may be

    applied according to the situation.

    Figure 36. Breaking up fight, individual air policeman (set 2)

    Section VII Air Police Teamwork

    23. AIR POLICE TEAMWORK. Certain basic principles of air police teamwork are

    introduced here to point out the valuable assistance a second air policeman may render inthe application of techniques previously presented in this manual. Two air policemen can

    often team together to hastily control a situation with a minimum of physical force or

    danger. Teamwork should be so executed to provide elements of distraction,

    maneuverability, and protection. Figure 37 shows the position of interrogation for a team of

    two air policemen. The air policeman on the left uses the interrogation approach techniqueand commands the individuals attention. The second air policeman approaches from the

    rear and side and takes a position from which he can easily take direct control or providefollow-up assistance to the other air policeman.

    25/32

    Figure 37. Air police teamwork

    Section VIII Breaking Up Fights, Air Police Teams

    24. BREAKING UP FIGHTS. At the instant that air policemen find one individualattacking another, they should be alert to the possibility that the fight is a sham in order to

    lure the air policemen into a serious, disadvantageous position where they might be ganged

    or waylaid. In many instances, permitting the fighters to continue their action for a few

    seconds will allow dissipation of their anger and fight and will give the air policemen anopportunity to sum up the situation before taking action. The air policemen should apply

    teamwork action, step behind the fighters, and concentrate upon the immediate control of

    the aggressor. The fighters are controlled by grasping them and crashing them togetherhead-on (figure 38). Immediate follow-up action to the rear will throw them off balance.

    The air policemen then follow up this action by applying the crotch lift, cross- shoulder

    grasp, rear choke, or other appropriate method.

    Figure 38. Breaking up fights, air police teams

    Section IX Use of the Riot Stick

    25. THE RIOT STICK. The riot stick in the hands of the air policeman is an additional

    symbol of his authority and implies that he knows how to use it. If he is skilled andpracticed in its use, he can cope with most situations where force is necessary. Basically,

    the riot stick is an offensive weapon. How it is used depends upon the local situation. It can

    be used as a club, as a jabbing or parrying instrument, or as a restraint device. Thetechnique of using the riot stick is described below.

  • 7/28/2019 Air Police Control and Restraint Techniques

    26/32

    26. THE GRIP. The grip is most important. Place the thong over the thumb so that the stick

    will hang with the thong crossing over the back of the hand. Turn the hand in and grasp thehandle so that the thumb points parallel to the stick. Raise the stick to a 45-degree angle,

    and the grip is complete. The thong must be adjusted in length to fit the hand. When

    correctly adjusted, the butt of the club should extend slightly below the edge of the hand.

    (Figure 39.)

    Figure 39. How to hold riot stick

    27. THE BLOW. A blow delivered by the riot stick is generally effective in the same body

    areas in which the edge of the hand is best used.

    a. Normally, the air policeman should not use his riot stick to strike blows about thehead; this is dangerous and fatal injuries can result. Side blows to the temple and

    throat area also are potentially fatal when delivered with force. Blows delivered to

    the top of the head and to the forehead are also dangerous.

    b. Wild blows using the full length of the arm in the swing are not nearly as effectiveas they seem; they leave the air policeman wide open for a parry and retaliation by a

    trained opponent.

    c. By using the riot stick as an extension of the arm in conjunction with basicfundamental movement as indicated in figures 2, 3, 4, and 5, the stick can be used as

    an effective parrying and striking instrument. A powerful thrust with the end of thestick delivered to the solar plexus will temporarily disable the opponent (figure 43),and short jabs to the stomach region are effective in clearing away crowds or

    clearing a pathway through a mob.

    d. The riot stick may also be used as a lever to apply against the wrist, elbow, and

    shoulder leverage points. It is particularly useful in breaking the adversarys balanceby placing it in front of the adversarys thigh for use as a come-along similar to the

    rear crotch lift indicated in figure 32.

    e. Blows to the shinbone will often block an attempted kick after it has been launchedand sidestepped.

    f. Well-directed blows as described below are usually as effective as head blows, with

    less chance of serious injury to the recipient.

    1. A man who is moving in to attack can be dropped with a downward blow tothe collar bone (figure 40); or by a shoulder shove to twist the body,

    followed by a hard blow across the big muscle in the back of the thigh

    (figure 41). This can be delivered with full force and results in cramping theleg muscle so that the victim is temporarily unable to walk.

  • 7/28/2019 Air Police Control and Restraint Techniques

    27/32

    2. If the opponents arm is outstretched, a blow to the back of the hand, on the

    outside of the elbow or wrist, will suffice. (Figure 42.)

    Section X Use of Handcuffs

    28. HANDCUFFS. The proper use of handcuffs on various types of prisoners requiresindividual practice and the exercise of good judgment. Although the air policeman may

    have been told when and where to use handcuffs, he must have training in applying them so

    that they perform their function efficiently in all situations.

    a. With his wrists pinioned by handcuffs, a desperate prisoner is still far from helpless.If his hands are cuffed together in front so that the arms swing free, it is possible for

    him to deliver a knockout blow using his hands or the handcuffs themselves. When

    an air policeman is alone, it is not advisable to handcuff himself to the prisoner.This leaves the prisoner with one hand free for attack and restricts the air policeman

  • 7/28/2019 Air Police Control and Restraint Techniques

    29/32

    in preventing any attempted escape. Generally, it is much better to use the handcuffs

    to pinion both the prisoners hands.b. Since there are many methods of using handcuffs, each prisoner can be cuffed in a

    manner which will prevent him attempting to escape or attacking, according to the

    air policemans estimate of his dangerous potentialities. This is particularly

    important if the prisoner is being moved from one locality to another. Variousmethods of attaining maximum use from handcuffs are described below.

    29. INTERLOCKING CUFF. One wrist is locked and pinioned with enough room to

    permit the jaw of the other cuff to be inserted between the wrist and the locked cuff. In

    effect, the cuffs are linked together like a chain, while at the same time the wrists are keptpinioned in a rigid position, and use of the hands is greatly restricted. Any exertion can be

    painful if the cuffs are applied tightly.

    30. CUFFING BEHIND THE LEG. This method is especially good when a lone airpoliceman is transporting a prisoner by automobile. It can be used also to lock a prisoner to

    a chair in which he is sitting, the links of the cuffs being passed around the rung or leg ofthe chair. The same method, locking a single leg and arm together, may be used in the seat

    of a car, or both legs may be passed through the loop of the arms.

    31. CUFFING TO SOLID OBJECTS. When there are two or more prisoners, they can be

    temporarily secured under light guard. In this case three pairs of cuffs are used. An

    automobile tire chain, with one or more pairs of cuffs is also useful in securing prisoners to

    a solid object. The chain can be used together with the cuffs to wrap around the bodies ofseveral prisoners, thus restricting their movements.

    32. CUFFING TO THE BELT. The wrists cuffed with the link under the belt will greatly

    reduce the freedom of the hands and arms. This is a good method when walking a prisonera long distance or when transporting him by car. Ideally, the belt buckle should be moved

    far enough around to prevent its being loosened by the hands. The belt can also be used to

    restrict the hands further when the hands are cuffed behind the prisoners back. Another

    variation is to remove the belt and force the prisoner to hold up his trousers with his hands.

    Section XI Summary
