So wanted to bring this topic up for those considering clearing a room with a 2, 4 or 6 person team.
One man clearing is suicidal in most cases but there are indeed situations where that’s all you got. I say this for most civilian use of clearing a room. In most cases it’s not worth a civilian to clear a room in a civilian application/situation.
Anyways, let’s look at a 2 person room clearing situation and what is being taught out there. From old designated lanes of fire to a combat vet.
I’m shocked that they would leave a BG standing while entering a room. Even in IDPA when you pie into a room. (Granted IDPA is a single person). You engage as you see BG. Not leave them for someone behind you. There are sectors of fire but to leave a BG standing when you can engage them in a split second doesn’t stand to reason.

From space we own, to space we don’t own Learn to minimize exposure Limited Penetration – into space we don’t own…Yet Positive – Negative angles Positive – Intrusive scanning/panning Negative – Retreat – Close the entrance gap Once you own the space – You keep the space – Stake a flag on it Work apex to apex Check corners of CF room – Dip head to maximize peripheral Maximize Lethality Shooting not a gunfight
Concerns; Target Lock – Little or no peripheral Flinch – Crouch Orient – Square Up Close to cover – Don’t get sucked in Threat Avoidance Shuffle Step
