This is slightly dated but the U.S. Marines have experimented in the past with the idea of incorporating Skating into their Urban Warfare program.
This is the official wikipedia write up:
“Military experimentation in the United States:
It has been publicly reported that the United States Marine Corps tested the usefulness of commercial off-the-shelf skateboards during urban combat military exercises in the late 1990s. Their special purpose has been described as “for maneuvering inside buildings in order to detect tripwires and sniper fire.”
