  Best dressed grunt in the boonies!
Development of the boot was begun as early as 1955 in an attempt to produce a good combat boot and to overcome the problems encountered in the footwear used during WW2 and Korea.
These boots were modeled on the WW2, 43 patt combat boot and had a buckled cuff at the ankle, and a Swiss Vibram style mountain boot sole.
Development of spike protective combat boots was begun in Oct 1961 at the Natick Labs when it was discovered that VC guerrillas were using sharp pointed, poisoned stakes, in ground traps.

 PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Autumn 1996
Combat battalions could be ready in 30 days after mobilization, one brigade of each division in 90 days, and entire divisions within a year, depending on the urgency of the situation.
Reconstituting combat units with individual replacements takes time that may not be available if the number of combat battalions is small, so a capability for rapid unit replacement could be valuable.
Those combat organizations are used to augment the active divisions of four Army corps, fulfill missions other than the two MRCs, continue forward deployment in Europe, and provide a fifth corps as a hedge against the unexpected.

 ST:O - Is combat a correct focus point? - StarTrek-Online.NET
So maybe, just maybe, the whole idea of combat being the primary focus isn't to stuff in alot of killing for the player to do in their time, but instead to create a great combat system, something that may not happen at all if combat wasn't the primary focus.
When we refer to combat in its general MMO sense, it means to solo attack, sometimes with a group, but essentially, your attacking and when you are attacked, only you are hurt.
To say that combat is the "primary focus" may simply mean that, this week, senior members of the team have milestones to reach on combat mechanics.

 Battlefield 2: Modern Combat (xbox360: 2006): Reviews
If Battlefield 2: Modern Combat was already a great game on the “old” systems, you’d have to expect it to be great on the next-generation of consoles, and you’d be right.
While Modern Combat does offer some amount of charm with its highly produced interludes and its slick unit-switching mechanism, ultimately this multiplayer-focused military shooter falls short of its promise with design flaws in its campaign and clunky vehicle handling.
It lacks the insane large scale combat of the superior PC game and is more akin to something like Star Wars Battlefront, but if you find the right group of people, online matches can be a lot of fun.

 WoWInterface Downloads : SimpleCombatLog
SimpleCombatLog is a mod which replaces the default combat logs with shorter, colored ones.
Second, when SimpleCombatLog receives a combat message, SimpleCombatLog checks what kinds of message it is, and checks the TYPE filter, if that type filter is not turned on, the message will be filtered.
Suppress default combat log is back (by trying to hook another Blizzard function which seems safe by my testing), however if I found that this function isn't safe to hook at any time, I'll remove this functionality again.

Though women are prohibited from serving in ground combat jobs, the unpredictable nature of attacks has increased the danger to many support troops, including truck drivers and military police.
The vast majority of the casualties are men, but the Iraq war has resulted in a number of serious injuries to women, including five Army soldiers who lost limbs.
Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, sought to re-examine the role of women after questioning whether the Army was violating Pentagon policy, established in 1994, by moving female support soldiers alongside combat units during a reorganization.

Turn based combat is one of the worst ideas in gaming imo.
yeah there are usually enemies that certain attacks or spells wont work on, but using that idea in a real time combat would take even more strategy and skill since you'd also have to keep moving and keeping cover.

 Many Deaths Left Out of Iraq Story
These media are making a distinction-- one rarely explained to audiences-- between combat and non-combat deaths, choosing in most cases to only report the former.
NPR used this formulation earlier this month (8/3/03): "The U.S. has suffered more than 50 combat fatalities since major fighting ended in May." The following day (8/4/03), it omitted the usual qualifier, rendering the report inaccurate: "So far, 52 American soldiers have died since major combat officially ended in Iraq" (8/4/03).
While the Iraqis may be right about the higher priority given to U.S. vs. Iraqi deaths, not even all U.S. casualties are being fully acknowledged-- and that shortcoming applies not just to the Pentagon, but to media as well.

Rifles issued to Combat Arms are equipped with the SUSAT, while rifles issued to Combat Support Arms and Combat Service Support Arms, and cadets, are equipped with a simple iron sight incorporating a carrying handle.
This was based on the fact that the tank crews can use the standard L85A2 when they engage in combat, whereas the helicopter pilots would use the carbine version only in extreme circumstances, in lieu of a sidearm.
In a further Heckler and Koch upgrade, a number of L85A2 rifles are now being fitted with the HK AG36 40 mm grenade launcher in a configuration similar to the M203, called the UGL (Underslung Grenade Launcher).
