COMBAT! was the name of an American television program that aired on ABC from 1962 until 1967.The exclamation point in "Combat!" was a stylized bayonet.

It was produced by Robert Blees, Richard Caffey, Gene Levitt, and Richard Mailbaum. The executive producer was Selig J. Seligman. Many episodes were directed by Robert Altman, who went on to make M*A*S*H and other acclaimed films.
