All of the US military martial arts programs utilize multiple styles in part and portion to the form and function of the particular mission direction of the given service.

A quick answer is yes...there are elements of Eskrima in some programs...but none that I know of that focus in whole on one style.

The US Marine Corps has developed its own style for example

MCMAP  Marine Corps Martial Arts Program

He wasn't asking if every training program involves Filipino Martial Arts, just the Modern Army Combatives program. That's pretty specific, and from what I've read, they do use FMA as the basis for their knife training.

I could not speak from the Army perspective and was unsure if the inference was a general US military or just Army...good point though...and good info  Smiley

I believe the FSB's Alfa also uses FMA, or at least used to back in their prime. Now that they're counter-terror, and more than a little outdone by the banner, I have no idea.

It's hard to keep up sometimes. Training is always adapting to a changing combat zone. There are things that we were taught as young Marines that were outdated by the time I reached the Fleet.
