Hand to Hand combat refers to weaponless fighting when it is used in military vernacular. I don’t think that hand to hand fighting has to be bare handed fighting. In my opinion even when you use small weapons other than a gun or pistol you are fighting hand to hand. All military combat units are trained in hand to hand fighting.
Every soldier has some hand to hand training but the amount and level of this training depends directly on the combat role of the soldier.
All of my Green Beret ring customers are trained extensively in hand to hand combat along with Spec Ops ring customers from every branch of service. In addition the vast majority of combat arms and combat support arms soldiers normally undergo martial arts training on their own. It is offered often free of charge by instructors who happen to be military troops.
