Raytheon | City,State involvement. United States special operations forces. The United States of America has many elite Special Operations Forces & Military Occupational Specialties that are not part of United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). This however doesn't mean they are less elite than the others. Units such as the Marine Corps Reconnaissance Battalions and their Force Reconnaissance Companies answer to the Marine Corps instead of USSOCOM, but are capable of carrying out their missions.

Close Quarters Combat (CQC), Close Quarters Battle (CQB) or Close Combat Fighting is a physical confrontation between two or more combatants.[1] It can take place between military units, police and criminals, and other similar actions. In warfare it usually consists of small units or teams engage the enemy with personal weapons at very short range, up to 30 meters, from proximity hand-to-hand combat to close quarter target negotiation with short range firearms.
In the typical close quarters combat scenario, the attackers try a very fast, violent takeover of a vehicle or structure controlled by the defenders, who usually have no easy way to withdraw. Because enemies, hostages/civilians, and fellow operators can be closely intermingled, close quarters combat demands a rapid assault and a precise application of lethal force. The operators need great proficiency with their weapons, and the ability to make split-second decisions in order to minimize accidental casualties.
