TactiCool CQB

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.

CQB in a nutshell;

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

3 Deadly Errors
A. Target Lock
B. Rushing In
C. Over Penetration
Immediate Dynamic Entry - amplifies these errors
