Enter and Clear a Room | CQB | Army Flashcards

Be beginning army logo looks like something out of ps2

Looking at the combat speed footage i now know: If i have to hide from a squad cleaing my room, go in the smaller corner behind the door

I like how they used Arma 2 and just took screen shots and cropped the troops and animate them moving on screen.

Everyone gangsta until one of these videos has "CLASSIFIED" at the beginning and end instead

I love how we’re all watching someone’s classroom video as entertainment

The last direction they’ll look is up

I like the way they did not sweep over squad mates, even in this little video.

My SOP - and it worked for us - first man makes the complete turn, away from the direction of travel so that he covers every corner. Second man knows this and can stay close and move faster without having to guess which way the point man is going to go. Third man flows after the first man, who is most likely to be down if anyone is. Fourth man enters if there is gunfire, otherwise stays outside oriented in the direction of travel. Also, we never spoke until there had been gunfire in the building. Until then it’s all silent. Once we were talking, we used codes. For example, instead of saying, “stack left, right, hold. . .” we said Red (right), White (left), Blue (hold), Green One (upstairs), Green Two (downstairs), etc. Didn’t make much sense to us to tell the enemy which way you were going next. Its 3:10am and my PTSD won’t let me sleep so I thought I share some crap no one cares about with people I’ll never meet.

I was in the Navy, but former Soldiers and Marines taught us room clearing to defend our ship. We used simunation, which is basically paintball rounds in an actual gun. They taught us that we were wrong no matter what, and it's because you have to know the situation of these clearings because you never know, there could be a trapdoor, or furniture in a weird spot, whatever. The Navy got really tactical when I joined because of the War on Terror, and the Army and Marines weren't getting as much recruitment as they wanted, so they had to train us and Air Force people to help supplement them. Because we were squids, it was mostly Marines training us how to search, arrest, and shoot motherfuckers.

My girl told me to clear the room I don't understand why she's upset

The only reason to do hasty entry is if there is time constraints or a hostage, otherwise, do a threshold entry with limited penetration and try to remain in concealment, clear 90 percent of the room from the outside first, then overwhelm the hard corners with standard points of domination.

The blind spot in the corner at 1:14 is way larger than they show it. An enemy could easily hide in that corner and wouldn’t get seen by the first soldier who enters based off this procedure. I feel like it would make more sense for the first guy to do a sweep from the hallway while scanning into the room. Then the next soldier could immediately check the corner that has the blind spot upon entering the room.

I'm a former MP and we were taught room clearing by a company commander who had previously been a Ranger. That was fun.

One thing they did not mention which is the most most important factor in Dynamic Room Clearing is “Violence of Action”, clearing the room properly and closing your sector down is a given but it all relies on speed and surprising the enemy with pure aggression and strength.

Odd, they usually just bomb the building or toss a flash bang before entering a room

My camp counselor was a marine. He taught our cabin how to do this during one of our free times.

Playing Doom for twenty years has taught don't go charging straight into the center of a room, stick to the walls and sweep across as more room opens up in the view in front of you, and it is real easy to get killed in these situations if you don't pay attention. Don't forget to look above you.

At 1:13 his sight goes right through the wall. In reality his vision into the room is actually half of what is shown with the red triangle. The upper left corner is scanned immediately when entering the room, the upper right corner follows shortly after. The bottom left corner never got scanned. The teamleader entered the room and took position in the bottom left corner. 2 people in a room while 1 corner didn't got scanned and 1 person even taking position in that corner. This is an empty room and this is in theory, yet it's far from perfect. CQB is difficult. That's why pro's train it a lot.

Do they need to fill out a form too after they're done clearing the room? LOL

I'm assuming the animation of a 'slice the pie' move is just poor otherwise that first guy would have been taken out easily by literally anyone in the room....
