Specialized forces such as the U.S. Coast Guard may adapt CQB tactics for the boarding of small vessels at sea. Hostage rescue or extrication by Commando troops such as the British Special Air Service , Delta Force or U.S. Navy SEALs may involve even more esoteric adaptations or variations, depending on specialized environments, weapons technology, political considerations or a mixture of friendly, unfriendly or civilian personnel.
