The point he made about the way we train is huge. I used to play OpFor a lot. A single cinderblock or sandbag would wreck entire fireteams. Guys absolutely weren't prepared for any kind of resistance at all. If the door didnt give, didnt open fully, hit resistance, guys would just bunch up and block the first guy or trip over the top of him when he fell.

[@Forward_Concepts]

[@WritingFighter]

Room clearing just seems so insanely dangerous to me no matter what you do it seems, especially if it's a military engagement. Partially obstructed door for example with a small hallway closet next to it. Try to breech the door, find out it partially opens, while fiddling with it a claymore or pipe bomb by the closet goes off. Or opening the door partway pulls a string tied to the pin of a grenade, strikes a match to a room full of gas, homemade flamethrower in a ventilation system with the vent cover gone, enemy sets up in an adjacent building and sees guys enter a room then shoot an RPG through the window at the door while everyone is clustered right there, set up sandbags and a heavy support machinegun and rake the door and the adjacent walls... ... Hell, just knowing that professional squads or well-trained police officers are on either side of a door, combined with knowing just how easily a bullet penetrates through thin drywall; yeah it blocks line-of-sight, but it's hardly any protection at all. Aim near the center of the door and you're very likely to hit someone.

[@aloadofbollocks988]

People need to understand military room clearing has been developed with the expectation of mass casualties. But that's war, lol.

[@somedud1140]

If you read field manuals on how to setup the defence of the house in military setting, it's insane. Kill zones in approach, sandbagged windows, murder holes, grenade holes, barricaded venues... In reality most of these are skipped in favor of mobility, but one important problem still remains, the enemy knows exactly where you will come from, you don't! To equalize the chance, grenade always enters first! But as a civilian, the most important question is, in what situation would you need to forcibly enter a building full of enemy combatants?

A lot of what people think SF do or are shown to do in the media and basic courses for hobbyists is what they did 40 years ago, and often not all of it. It's fairly clear if you actually listen to them, the approach was getting very diverse and changing a lot in the 90s already, which is around the time when the drill was being introduced military-wide. Right now, from what I gathered, the rule is basically "lead chooses the entry, second confirms, rest follows".

Let’s get out in front of this. Dry wall is not cover. Nobody thinks it is, what it is, is concealment. Concealment- obscures you from the bad guy. Using Concealment is taught as a concept, idea, and tactic in every military and law enforcement agency (I imagine globally). Because you point out that dry wall is concealment…it doesn’t mean that it won’t provide you the very purpose of concealment. Your alternative places you in the room, which offers you neither cover or concealment…and as pointed out in the intro video….shot a lot waiting for #3 guy to enter to find the bad guy. It’s a cost to benefit ratio, its probabilities, likelihoods and statistics…there isn’t anybody…who thinks (objectively) you are safer inside the room with gunman.

[@Revirantless]

[@lebanonchristian3951]

Walls in middle east are bulletproof

[@Gurfi28]

Absolutely agree. I am a big fan of using deliberate entry and I am fully aware that even cinder block and concrete walls (which are the common building type in my area) do not provide cover against all threats. I still believe being concealed until I decide to initiate the confrontation or being able to retreat from the confrontation under concealment if necessary is a big advantage.

[@e0001030]

@@PineappleProphet True - just like wearing oxygen mask on a failed plane, every safety brief ask you to wear your own first before helping others, because its the different between losing one or losing two. A dead SWAT isn't going to save any hostage. And even before that, there is one VERY dangerous move - making entry alone without any gadgets. For any room that has more than one opening, I don't care if you are the best CQB combatant in the world, you still have 50% chance to get shot in the back and die immediately and the bad guy is totally intact.

Good advice. I learned not to stand in front of a door doing face-to-face collections for one of those 'leg-breaker' small loan companies. I, in turn, pulled my partner aside when he was standing in front of a motel door on a laceration call. He was a brand new EMT. Within three seconds of me pulling him to one side and one of the two officers with us taking a step back at the notion of me pulling my partner back, the husband, and progenitor of the laceration, shot out the door with a 12 GA. Sending us all scurrying from the catwalk and running for cover. We all laugh about it. At the time, it was complete chaos. Just glad my old skip tracing mentor taught me that when I was an 18 yo lad.

[@handled99]

Videos like this are ground breaking in the community and have been needed for far too long. Too many people out there in every branch of military/special forces and in LE has passed along so many tactics without testing or critically analyzing in exquisite detail if the CQB techniques they use make sense or not. They just do what they are taught, and bad tactics are passed down without question because they were quote "paid for in blood" which creates this false environment where they think questioning those same tactics are beyond reproach. Even if those same tactics dont make any sense. Any tactic used by any unit no matter how "prestigious" must make sense and they must be able to clearly expain in exquisite detail precisely while those tactics are implemented.

[@Forward_Concepts]

Absolutely. Awesome comment.

[@blkstang4830]

Good stuff. Always take a 51/49 advantage for sure. Honestly the biggest problem is only full time teams can practice this enough. As a former street cop, you won’t get the training. You also need to make sure your partners are on the same page. Get your own training and don’t depend on the department. It’s your life that’s at risk. Keep up the good work 🤙

As someone who’s done a substantial amount of in-service training for multiple departments, I was always surprised to discover how much training motivated LEOs had to cover/seek out on their own.

As a former street cop I absolutely agree. Luckily we usually had the same people on shift at the same time (the service groups would rotate through the different shift times) so on slow days we‘d grab our tac kits and started sweeping either the station or abandoned buildings. It really helped us during actual calls.

[@PineappleProphet]

What's your plan when someone starts dumping an automatic through the wall/door?

[@user-wr3ms5uf5t]

@PineappleProphet I am not military or law enforcement. if there is someone with an automatic weapon and they know I'm coming due to lack of exposure management or noise control I will probably die. I would chose to not engage if I know there is a threat of an automatic weapon. I am not trained to handle that kind of situation.

[@user-wr3ms5uf5t]

@PineappleProphet theoretically if someone dumped an automatic weapon in my direction as I'm crossing the threshold or assessing it and I am somehow not hit I would run the fuck away after.

[@StreyRound]

I think what gets lost in translation with a lot of room clearing techniques and procedures is the instructor actually setting the stage for students. You touch on this briefly at 0:50 but should be addressed prior to any tactics are discussed and/or demonstrated. The situation (facts and circumstances) will dictate your tactics. Hasty vs a deliberate entry, HR vs non-HR. I'm really appreciating your content, keep up the great work.

[@Forward_Concepts]

Correct. I would think that instructors are having that discussion.

[@BeauBrewer5.56]

We can nit pick technique all we want and should do for training but the thing people need to not lose sight of is working in the unknown. We often get trapped by artificiality when training in terms of familiarity of space because it’s what we alway use. The unknown can throw monkey wrenches into what is happening even on the most basic level of task so be able to adapt on the fly to what you’re seeing. Sometimes it’s not the most pretty thing ever but our training should be setting us up to adapt to what we need at that moment.

[@Forward_Concepts]

I agree. Which is another video I need to make. If you move across the door …try the door either locked or barricaded you can start kicking it. If you plan on riding it in and it doesn’t go, because of what I mentioned…you transition to kicking it. Therefore we can mitigate the time waisted, lack of efficiency, and moving to another method by choosing the method that is more likely to work from the beginning. I really really like what you said. Thats the problem. It’s thinking critically through the what ifs..

Cqb room clearing is the military equivalent of mcdojo martial arts. Everyone looks super cool until the person in the next room magdums through two walls.

[@Forward_Concepts]

Well I was on board with the first part. However, bad guys don’t typically resort to shooting through walls, if they do it’s in addition (or within the same sequence) of shooting through the door.

[@InstructorAnthony]

Doors and stairs are tricky. From my experience as an instructor on the LEO side, the ride the door part of dynamic CQB is often over simplified CQB taught in intro courses which don't have a lot of time to teach and train the finer technical points of deliberate CQB but must teach something to the "lowest common denominator" of student. As an example, for our new hires we get a limited amount of time to teach them CQB, so we need to spend more time on dynamic rather than deliberate because its the most caveman style of CQB which will give them tools they can utilize with limited cognitive processing while in an already high stress situation. During in service training, we shift the focus to have more technical and deliberate options because they have more exposure and experience to CQB.

[@Forward_Concepts]

That’s interesting that you say riding the door is taught as an over simplified CQB technique because the ones who advocate for it are at times the highest train people on the mil side. To your point you need both skills for dynamic and deliberate and I don’t believe because you can comprehend one you are any good at the other. There is much more decision making and thinking going on with deliberate. Often times there are many things that you can do to which officers simply don’t have the information to execute. They often say “I never thought about that.”

[@InstructorAnthony]

@@Forward_Concepts I can really only talk more so about my experience as a LEO "patrol level" CQB instructor. When I train with another instructor or watch their videos, I take whatever information they are providing as "a way" to conduct CQB, not "the way" to do CQB. I don't internalize it as the right or wrong way. This is also how we teach it within my department. I think a great example of this is picking a direction on entry. Some people like to go towards the known corner (running the rabbit), others like the unknown (pushing the threat). While I think running the rabbit is the better option, and is the one I try to do, I also totally understand the LEO wanting to push the threat and be the one engaging the possible threat immediately, rather than being "bait." Deliberate CQB can be very, very technical and requires considerably more hands on training time to master. Many ways to skin a cat, and we cannot be trained or train people for every scenario. One of the things I try to really express to my students on the LEO level is they will be switching between deliberate and dynamic CQB based on mission and environment, all of which is highly fluid. Recently, in an "intro" class, we had students make entry into a room with a small school style desk chair along the wall. After the entry/exposure to this "new" challenge, I discussed how to navigate around small to medium sized non-door barricading obstacles immediately inside the door along the wall. Some options I provided were around, over, or through (aka kick). I explained some considerations on why you may or may not use one or the other and used different obstacles as examples. Most of the students understood these were only some of the options and they would have to decide what to do based on the totality of the circumstances during entry of that particular situation; it wasn't something they had needed to think about up until this point in training because we hadn't presented it as a challenge until this scenario. One student, who is/was military, went around said chair. When I presented considerations she didn't agree and seemed to feel going around was the only option for navigating obstacles. So, she asked another instructor who is part of our full-time SWAT team. He told them the same thing I did. CQB is not black and white, much like life, there are shades of grey.

I like it and I like having the least amount of suck in my methods. Having a few 2x4s or 2x6s between you and any real caliber bullet (9mm, 5.56, .308, etc.) isn't much protection but it's certainly more than a 2" thick door or a fibercore door that isn't even there for bullets, air soft pellets would whip through those. If you're forced to go into a blind room then there will always be a lethal level of suck but, as he said, try to minimize it.

[@cry0n559]

I learned this method (more or less) about 10 years ago during my time in the military in switzerland. Normally you would check the door and give it a little push and then step back. The reason was also to check for IEDs that could potentiall be triggered by the moving door. After that you check the frame of the door and pie, move etc. I find this is a method that is rather safe but also it depends how much the walls protects rather that conceals you.

I don’t know much about CBQ or clearing space v.v.. My question is does it exist a definition of perfect 1 man CBQ?

[@Forward_Concepts]

Clarify your question please

[@minhbachvu2376]

@@Forward_Concepts I’m sorry in advance for my bad English. My thoughts are, can a single person performs CBQ, and minimize all the threats to the lowest possibility?

A good tip for after surprise is lost is letting the door “breathe” 👍🏾 good stuff

[@Forward_Concepts]

Yep!

[@sofit]

When you open the door you will trigger the threat inside the room, let breath the door will give more time to the threat to counter attack you.

[@sofit]

@@tylerreis7627 try it while opposed and then let me know

[@sofit]

@@tylerreis7627 offcourse, i know perfectly Northern Red video, but this no change the fact that once you open the door everyone inside will know that you are outside, he can shoot at you immediately through the walls. Do you think that slicing the pie will make you invincible? You will expose in any case parts of your body that the threat will notice, he doesn't need all your silhouette to shoot at you. You can't lose momentum, you have to commit to the threshold.

You also have the wall assement on each room. So many questions.

[@Forward_Concepts]

What questions?

[@Histy.wrld.]

@@Forward_Concepts how are you assesing the hallway and room?

[@Histy.wrld.]

The wall gives you certain protection based on it's construction. Pie'ing a door is one thing.. What is your suggestions on other variables in a doorway when you have to get in there?

What do you think of the limited penetration method in CQB?

[@Forward_Concepts]

You may have to define what exactly that is. I know what “it” is but people talk about it differently. However, not only do I think it’s the best way, it’s the way nearly every swat team or warrant team has operated or is operating

[@juanmanuelalonso8907]

Thanks for answering, I am referring to the method of clearing the room from the threshold, without entering it, except in very specific situations such as hostage taking, applied by projeck gecko, israeli comand or trevor trasher 88 tactical@@Forward_Concepts

[@Histy.wrld.]

Ok.. commented on your short.. Now I understand the context. You are doing an Israeli clear. My only question is.. What do you do when it gives and a possible body is behind the door. Ex pin the obstruction.. Now the 2 becomes 1 etc. Thoughts?

[@Forward_Concepts]

I would ask you how many guys we have. But generally speaking guy pinning door would have to check it, thus briefly giving up the area in front of him. If there’s a #3 or #4 that goes his way he can brush his back and pick up his front as he is checking behind the door.

[@Histy.wrld.]

@@Forward_Concepts devils advocate 3 and 4 man along with 2 man clear on an obstructed door. Both typical clear, known targets, and shots fired HVT/Shooter.

[@SgtOddball90]

There's really no reason for someone to stack up on the doorknob side of the door, once the door opens you're just staring at the door hinges now.

[@nyogtheeldritchgentleman]

I agree.

[@BigJDinSC]

Recently saw a video of a retired seal who operates a fairly well-known private training school. This guy (lead instructor) stood right in front of the threshold (smothering the door) while his teammate opened the door into a corner-fed room. If that wasn’t sketchy enough, they both tried to enter the room at the same time, shoulder to shoulder through the doorway 😳. I can’t even begin to guess where they got this or why they came up with these techniques. I’ve done a lot of training; I’ve never seen anything that makes less sense.

[@Forward_Concepts]

That’s what happens when resumes are more important than what makes sense. You get dudes following other dudes off cliffs.

[@BigJDinSC]

@@Forward_Concepts amen to that. I’ve often told my own students to make sure that they’re not part of a witless flock following a blind shepherd off the edge of a cliff. Question everything.

[@Ian32320]

​@BigJDinSC If you see two guys saying they are "retired Navy SEALs" trying to enter a doorway like you stated.... they prolly were never SEALs. Resumes do matter, but they have to be legit .

[@myspamdevnull]

AS someone who has probably trained there, you should ask yourself, "Why would a former instructor for GRS and SEALs teach something that seems so fatally stupid?" Go to a bunch of orgs, and ask questions. "I've been taught A, B, C. Why do you 1, 2, 3?" They had better be able to answer "Because X, Y, Z." You can then think "X is a good reason, B is still more likely than 2, and Z doesn't apply to my situation at all." Add their technique to your quiver if it makes sense, and discard it if it doesn't. To answer specifically, that training specializes in active shooter response/retrieving a person from a dangerous environment. One person is opening the door as the other is gathering data and responding to threats as they are revealed, then both address the remaining unknowns simultaneously. They don't continue to stand there if breaching is indicated. At Uvalde, the police got caught pieing, and stayed outside once bullets started flying their way. They didn't have the option to toss a grenade, evacuate, and call in artillery or an air strike. It takes a lot of guts to go through a threshold when bullets are piercing the door and walls, and there's a lot of pain knowing that every shot you hear afterwards is a kid dying. You don't need to worry about that if you're already in the room. It has the risks of somebody shooting through the door as soon as the doorknob moves, but that's unlikely if the bad guy is trying to control or kill hostages. Active shooters also don't tend to have defense-in-depth, so there aren't likely to be previous engagements. No technique works best in every situation. You pays yer money and you takes yer chances.

[@TheSquidPro]

I mean this is basic video game logic, you camp doors, you camp stairs and most fights devolve into pie slicing the threshold or who gets impatient first or who tosses the most grenades at the other.

I’ve never seen anyone use tactics like that in real life. You throw a grenade in first then 2 go in and smoke each corner in a figure 8 pattern. I have a funny “barricaded” story though, we hit one door that was barricaded and my partner threw his grenade but the door only popped open about 8” and slammed back shut. This bounced the grenade back in the room. I dove into the hallway we had entered THAT room from and HE dumped himself into a closet space. And nothing happened. His dumb ass didn’t get the pin all the way out thankfully! It was still in there by just a hair. Turned out the door went out into an alley and the rabbit was gone.

@@cbeetle7011 anything is possible. Law enforcement encounters tell a story of bad guys routinely shooting at thresholds or through doors on the approach. If walls are hit they are typically hit in conjunction of the door…meaning it’s likely point shooting resulted in the walls just being hit

I never had any luck riding the door. It seems like a technique that would work only if I have breaching charges and flashbacks, which as a pleb civvy would be…. Never.

[@Michael-xl5hc]

Yeah running straight in is reserved for good Intel and the element of surprise. Open combat in close environments requires something else entirely for approaching threshold. I wonder if anything can actually be learned from how players play video games like rainbow six siege. Seeing how players engage across thresholds might actually reveal something about positioning and perspective.

Regarding the flash-bang thing for civs, you’d be surprised how good some of those “airsoft” ones are. Certainly much better than harsh language.
