CQB Basics: Clearing Corners and Working Thresholds

[@coryj1409]

The scariest part is when you realize you are just behind concealment. If the person inside the room puts a couple of rounds through that wall, you are screwed. Which makes you think dynamic might be a better option. Either way, if someone is in there its a crap shoot. Unless you have loved ones in that house best response is to work your way out of the house and call the police. Then a team can come in. If i have loved ones in the house I am going to be very dynamic.

[@coryj1409]

You are putting out great videos. Keep them coming.

[@brandtwebber5761]

Thats the job, bad guy can put as many rounds as they have at us. We dont get that. We have to id the target then try to arrest, unless the subject makes that not possiable, and try to do it with the least force needed. Its the job, I dont do it anymore but still got my fams back!

The reason I think dynamic is effective for LE is that #1 a structure clear is usually done with 2-4 patrol officers. Spending a lot of time in the hallway, especially putting ones back to an uncleared hallway to conduct a full threshold evaluation exposes you and your partner to a lot of threats. #2 surprise is already lost due to announcements ect. To gain an advantage you must increase at least one of the three principles of CQB - speed, surprise, violence of action. #3 in a full threshold evaluation, the suspect will see you first (except under NVGs ect.) and has the opportunity to take a shot on a static target. Or, they see you first while conducting a dynamic threshold evaluation like panning, and now you have to target ID and stop the threat while moving lateral to the threat. #4 you can always slow things down. Best to train dynamic and slow down when needed. Dynamic is harder to do and requires more training. #5 interior walls are not cover. I understand that a suspect may only shoot at what they see. That is a possibility. I would rather get into their OODA loop by being dynamic and creating two or more moving targets in the room and utilize mine and my partners superior shooting skills (why it is so important to be a good shooter) The only reasons LE clears structures are an HR, active shooter, or to locate a suspect. Typically we are doing an audible burglary alarm search. If we believe the suspect is inside and there is not threat to life, why go in right away? We will set up containment and call them out. We all agree that we need to do dynamic on HR and active shooter. Where a lot of us disagree on is warrant service, alarm calls ect. I do like slowing down under NVGs. But once the team is compromised , I prefer going white light and dynamic.

Thanks!

[@charlesl5226]

It would be pretty cool to see you do a colab with Tu Lam from ronin tactics and go over things of this nature. Great stuff, enjoying your videos.

[@marineplaysairsoft]

all this stuff about attacking a threshold is cool and all, but what about how to utterly fk up an attacker in DEFENSE of a threshold? Changing positions, hard angles, deliberate wall penetration, etc?

[@EDCIndiana]

Good stuff, thank you. Glad i found the channel, new sub.

[@Forward_Concepts]

Let’s go!

[@NebulousCat]

The last scenario looked like using a light would have been valuable.

[@ajappezzato]

Hey man love this content, it’s amazing and helpful. Just a curiosity on the final room you cleared; after opening the door and presented with a dark room, how/when would you engage your weapon mounted light to search the dark room while maintaining the tactics you teaching and limiting the amount of target I present to the opponent?

[@Forward_Concepts]

You have to activate your light when you can’t see. That goes for any dark places. If you can’t see it you can’t shoot it. I wouldn’t be concerned with activating and deactivating providing some type of advantage in this case because you are exposed to so much …constant activation will be the best here.

[@ajappezzato]

[@jamesedwards1588]

More please

[@Forward_Concepts]

Yeahhh

[@theskyrider3455]

Dynamic entry mostly refers to directly entering the room asap without any scaning or a step center at max. Deliberate CQB comprises all this safety increasing tactics like threshold assessment, pieing techniques and scanning rooms as much as possible from the outside before making entry. The speed doesn't really play a role here, you can do both, deliberate and dynamic, fast or slow. How much of the room is being assessed before entry is the decisive factor. In deliberate CQB more steps are included which automatically makes you slower. How fast you perform the individual movements though is up to you.

[@Forward_Concepts]

Correct

[@Bato13-05]

What about snapping the 90 degree angle and then slowly pie further?

[@illbedipped]

I feel like stacking knob side on that door puts you in a pickle, as you have nowhere to bail if triggering the room by opening the door causes a violent response. Also, with the way you let the door breathe (cracked instead of open), you are trapped in that corner and inviting someone to come investigate. How do you feel about throwing the door, backing away to a narrow angle, and letting it breathe? Seems to me you are then able to begin your assessment from distance and not trigger the door twice.

[@Forward_Concepts]

Neither is wrong but the alternative is reaching across the door to work it…check out working doors video I made before this.

[@illbedipped]

I don't like reaching across doors, either. But if you can do it and back to the narrow that might be worth the risk compared to getting stuck in a corner with nowhere to go. That's just the way I look at it.
