That depends. We trained once a week in combatives which drew a lot from BJJ. Once a week isn't comprehensive by any means, but almost every soldier has SOME training in it, some more than others. Some soldiers did BJJ so much it became pretty much their job and they competed in Army competitions. As to SOF, they'll receive more training than the average person; Navy SEALs get decent hand to hand training, as do SFOD-D. I couldn't say to what extent because I was neither of those nor was I part of any SOF, but close combat training is part of their overall training moreso than any conventional forces. The show is of course blowing it out of proportion as to Hood's fighting skills for entertaining purposes, but still.
