Do you mean in WAR, as in issued to infantry? I dont think anyone would consider that a very practicle place for a shotgun ( except in some very-very limited and temporary instances, like a trench.)

Used within its design capabilities and range, its a awesome weapon. As a citizen, I would take a shotgun into just about any defensive situation I can imagine. If I were a soldier, it wouldnt even be in the top three.

As far as the term "combat" shotgun... Im not really on board with such taglines.
