Close quarters combat (CQC) is a tactical concept that involves a physical confrontation between two groups.  It often refers to engagements between military units or law enforcement and criminals.  Traditionally, in warfare, CQC consists of small units or teams who engage the enemy using small arms and hand-to-hand fighting techniques at short range.
