FOREWORD

1. PURPOSE

Today’s Marines operate within a continuum of force where conflict may change from

low intensity to high intensity over a matter of hours. Marines are also engaged in

many military operations other than war, such as peacekeeping missions or noncom-

batant evacuation operations, where deadly force may not be authorized. During non-

combative engagements, Marines must determine if a situation warrants applying

deadly force. Sometimes Marines must decide in a matter of seconds because their

lives or the lives of others depend on their actions. To make the right decision,

Marines must understand both the lethal and nonlethal close combat techniques need-

ed to handle the situation responsibly without escalating the violence unnecessarily.

Marine Corps Reference Publication (MCRP) 3-02B, Close Combat , provides the tac-

tics, techniques, and procedures of Marine Corps close combat. It also provides the

doctrinal basis for the Marine Corps Close Combat Training Program (MCCCTP).

2. SCOPE

This publication guides individual Marines, unit leaders, and close combat instructors

in the proper tactics, techniques, and procedures for close combat. MCRP 3-02B is

not intended to replace supervision by appropriate unit leaders and close combat in-

struction by qualified instructors. Its role is to ensure standardization and execution of

tactics, techniques, and procedures throughout the Marine Corps.

3. SUPERSESSION

MCRP 3-02B supersedes Fleet Marine Force Manual (FMFM) 0-7, Close Combat ,

dated 9 July 1993. There are significant differences between the two publications.

MCRP 3-02B should be reviewed in its entirety.

4. WARNING

Techniques described in this publication can cause serious injury or death. Practical

application in the training of these techniques will be conducted in strict accordance

with approved Entry Level Close Combat, Close Combat Instructor (CCI), and Close

Combat Instructor Trainer (CCIT) lesson plans. Where serious danger exists, the read-

er is alerted by the following:

OVERVIEW OF CLOSE COMBAT

1. Purpose of Close Combat

one person complies with the demands imposed

by another person. This range of actions is known

as a continuum of force. Continuum of force is the

concept that there is a wide range of possible ac-

tions, ranging from voice commands to applica-

tion of deadly force, that may be used to gain and

maintain control of a potentially dangerous situa-

tion (MCO 5500.6_, Arming of Security and Law

Enforcement [LE] Personnel and the Use of

Force ). Continuum of force consists of five levels

that correspond to the behavior of the people in-

volved and the actions Marines use to handle the

situation (see the table below). Close combat

techniques are executed in levels three, four, and

five.

Close combat is the physical confrontation be-

tween two or more opponents. It involves armed

and unarmed and lethal and nonlethal fighting

techniques that range from enforced compliance

to deadly force. The purpose of close combat is to

execute armed and unarmed techniques to pro-

duce both lethal and nonlethal results. Unarmed

techniques include hand-to-hand combat and de-

fense against hand-held weapons. Armed tech-

niques include techniques applied with a rifle,

bayonet, knife, baton, or any weapon of opportu-

nity.

2. Continuum of Force

Level One: Compliant (Cooperative)

The subject complies with verbal commands.

Close combat techniques do not apply.

Marines will find themselves in both combative

and noncombative situations. The threat level in

these situations can rise and fall several times

based on the actions of both Marines and the peo-

ple involved. The escalation of force stops when

Level Two: Resistant (Passive)

The subject resists verbal commands but complies

immediately to any contact controls. Close com-

bat techniques do not apply.
