Answer 5

This is funny, I recently played fight with a US Marine CAPT, he said he learned more from me in one hour than he had from MCMAP.  I have seen the US Army TOP fighters, and well, they are proficient.

Of the US Arned forces I have dealt with, the Navy and Marine Corps seem to be best equipped.

Answer 6

USMC, hands down.

Answer 7

Army Rangers or Navy Seals

Answer 8

Right now the service that has the most comprehensive unarmed combat system is the US Marine Corps.  While the other services reserve advanced unarmed combat training to their elite or special forces the Marines approach is different and all Marines can train in their combat system that is very similar to mixed martial arts covering striking and grappling.
