CQB Instructor Reacts To Delta Force CQB

Would you perform open heart surgery? Why not? You might be good at first aid, but this is something different. You have formal training and lack experience beyond elementary competencies. People look at videos like this as a documentary of what to do - and while it may be for them, it's not for us. Key things you should take away from this video:
DO use speed, surprise, and violence of action - this is a GREAT demo of that to a degree literally 99.999% of the population isn't ready for; therefore:
Don't cross open danger areas
Don't get stuck in a fatal funnel
Don't restrict your OPFOR
IF you take anything else away from this video, that's probably my fault, your bad.
If you only look to those with authority, I hope you are consistent and wore a mask for at least two thanksgivings and got 4 boosters.

Actually being mentored my whole life now 55 by a Delta operator and my academy mate and partner over us being career cops in a major city in tactical units, I can absolutely say that if you see a threat from the doorway outside you engage it immediately regardless if youre in the room of not. I see the operator in the initial entry knows that it was essentially a corner fed entrance so he cleared that left side on approach and immediately went right to the deep corner. I also know that in a high speed dynamic environment muzzling although not practiced, nor condoned does happen. Its years and thousands of repititions and years of actual direct action raids where intel is sometimes is in real time, and in situations where its a kill and capture mission, that type of repsonse to provide so called anchor shots etc are SOP! I didnt see much wrong here and I take it as these Tier 1 units have different abilities and capabilities. Very few military members even make it to these units, let alone stay if they cant keep or reach the standard. Like killing a hostage in a training situation can be an instant DQ and removal. I trust not only their muzzle discipline, I trust their trigger discipline more. Thats just me. I wont ever MMQB a unit, nor its members or tactics when I dont possess the ability to carry their lunches. These men are the very best of the best. In trainings I have muzzled role players with sims and suspects in 2.5 decades of police work with live weapons. Training and discipline are real life skills. Just my humble opinion Bill. We can agree to disagree here.

They were training for hostage rescue where speed is preferred often over safety because the hostage’s life is worth more than those who are trying to save them. I’m not a CQB or SOF guy but I’ve heard some SF guys explain how hostage rescue is different than regular CQB in that way.

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@STOKERMATIC IDK much, but I assumed the reason they remained in the funnel is because if they were to go into the room the chances of hostage survival would have gone down compared to them keeping their distance. Perhaps to give them better accuracy or not to make the hostage taker do anything rash. They might have known exact enemy positions because they were practicing working on good intel, hostage rescue operations are typically only done when they have as much intel as possible. Neptune Spear had almost everyone in the structures pinpointed by floor and room. I’m not sure. I’ve seen more flagging or near flagging moments from Ranger and SF CQB footage, it seems like something that gained popularity during the GWOT for SOF units. Forgot the name for it but I think they call it dynamic CQB now where the barrels point everywhere. JSOC is known for not having the most aggressive OpFor. I’m not sure why they do this if it’s to represent a shocked enemy or not but it’s been the case for a while. My opinion just is Delta has CQB specifically designed for Hostage Rescue which inherently has lots of flaws due to the one objective. I’m sure this type of CQB would be awful against competent opponents.

We did a lot of pre-911 CQB, as well as GWOT CQB… and we can spend the rest of our lives still learning; I have never had a Tier 1 mission. CQB has evolved dramatically, and for the better since this guy has been in. I respect his service, but he has beclowned himself. My touch points with Army Tier 1 elements has left me with the firm conviction that no one can critique these guys better than they can. It’s a fucking science and identity with them, and I’m blessed to learn from them and paid taxes to make them more lethal and effective. Their commitment to professionalism and mastery leads them to make decisions with purpose. There are no missions more critical and dangerous than hasty, in-extremis assaults where the Operator’s life is secondary to that of their PC. Anyone who has never been entrusted with this mission set has no wherewithal to critique it in a public forum such as this.

General Bill Garrison (of Black Hawk Down fame) was famous in the Unit for sneaking into a room full of targets during live-fires, in pitch black, when the guys were sporting 90s-era NODS. The Unit does not follow "institutionalized" CQB tactics. They invented these tactics, refined them, and literally practiced CQB like the fourth meal of the day, until it became second nature down to being able to tell what your teammate is going to do next just by intuition.

The camera doesn’t see everything the eyes see. And it’s not single man. There’s a train of dudes behind him also. And the thing you here all the time is the number one is never wrong. But I’m only 4:39 in.

The more you train you find out Special Forces do not have special tactics its same fundamental basic tactics. Always train and maintain.

[@asce9182]

Hostage Rescue CQB quite literally utilizes specialized tactics that shouldn't be conducted on the conventional side of the house. You'd be correct in most contexts. In this case, though, what is practical for Hostage Rescue is not practical for an engagement in a house under the context of Conventional War. SOF are also affored equipment that Conventional Forces just don't get. To utilize that equipment is utilizing "Special Tactics". It's really a semantics game. The fundamentals of killing the enemy with firearms doesn't change whether SOF or not, but the context under which you do will.

[@Jupiterxice]

@@asce9182 Agreed, but for CQB it should always be tailor to the environment or TTPs. especially for house clearing.

[@chrishappysofar2090]

Since I don’t know dick about cqb, I still have the simple question of “why do I have to know it”? Yeah I get it, you literally just said why I need it, but seriously, based on what we just saw, am I going to be on a team that is trained to a degree where we won’t hurt one another or our principal?

[@Bryan-uw1ny]

It's easier than you think if you put the time in and have decent team mates

[@HTMLRu1ezD00d]

If you own a firearm, and plan on using it to defend your house. You probably want to know how to utilize CQB.

U don’t even see the whole point of what he’s doing and what he’s team is doing… 🤦🏻‍♂️ brother please realize what he’s doing. Also simunition… he’s not shooting people with real rounds. I’m not gonna turn this into a rang cause i think your intentions are well. But the guy in this video ain’t missing shots he’s top of line. The surprise is the single man entering from a different area then rest of team. Brother please understand this much better prior to tmmrw night. And there’s no chalk rounds 🤦🏻‍♂️ bro cmon

I got to do a lot of this training over the years, nowhere near your experience level, I’ve got to play both good guys and bad guy, getting hit by sim munitions is no fun for sure 😂, I agree, they were not given much resistance. Also, that every type of practice I ever did stealth was a key to success. I definitely don’t see that type of training in this video. Never give the enemy that kind of time to prepare for you. This is definitely bad on the instructors. I like your breakdown, it is spot on!

in war with normal grunts you level cities and houses with artillery. thermobaric grenades if you cant have artillery. you can watch what they do in hostage situations from Moscow theater hostage crisis in 2002 involving 850 hostages. 132 hostages killed, over 700 injured. they are russian warfare trained, they don't care. "GM-94 is a 43 mm (1.7 in) pump-action grenade launcher designed mainly to fire thermobaric grenades for close combat." "The RPO-A and upgraded RPO-M are infantry-portable rocket propelled grenades (RPGs), designed to fire thermobaric rockets. The RPO-M, for instance, has a thermobaric warhead with a TNT equivalence of 5.5 kg (12 lb) and destructive capabilities similar to a 152 mm (6 in) high-explosive fragmentation artillery shell.[40][41] The RShG-1 and the RShG-2 are thermobaric variants of the RPG-27 and RPG-26 respectively. The RShG-1 is the more powerful variant, with its warhead having a 10-metre (33 ft) lethality radius and producing about the same effect as 6 kg (13 lb) of TNT.[42] The RMG is a further derivative of the RPG-26 that uses a tandem-charge warhead, with the precursor high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead blasting an opening for the main thermobaric charge to enter and detonate inside.[43] The RMG's precursor HEAT warhead can penetrate 300 mm of reinforced concrete or over 100 mm of rolled homogeneous armour, thus allowing the 105 mm (4.1 in)-diameter thermobaric warhead to detonate inside.[44]" in russian warfare they don't bother with cqb or any fancy things like that.

What do Russians have to do with this video

[@samadams9557]

I disagree with you on one point. You don’t know the guys safety was off. You know as well as anyone that when you train to the point of muscle memory, the safety goes on and off a lot during movements, which is good. To be clear, I’m not saying flagging his buddy wasn’t an issue. Obviously we can’t flag each other.

Imagine thinking you know more about CQB than Delta Force does lmfao. You're a joke

[@IndependentNewsMedia]

Stoke I do not think it is productive trying to describe CQB / OBUA to civilians, as they do not understand the basics of infantry, let a loan dynamic entry, civilians may try to do things they see on YT and get themselves hurt. Best to point them to a professional training school and learn from professionals, most will shy away once they see the cost of the basic course. Other aspect civilians do not understand is that you have to keep on practicing to keep the skills to a high level, with the same team of chaps until you know them inside out and stead fast logistics (freedom seeds) resupply. God bless.

[@RedDawnReadiness]

It not rocket science homie, does it take practice yes… is alot of footwork and knowing angles and being able to process Information quickly like threat levels and stuff yes a lot of it common sense but takes muscle memory and strategy to get good at it, absolutely but it ain’t rocket science and just like anything some people who do something 10,000 times may not be as good as someone who’s done it 50 times that’s just life… some people have gifts and abilities other simply don’t have… and that my friend is something I think you may not be accounting for

@@bmrz38 I agree with some of it but he says in the video o didn’t clear this area of the room but forgot or didn’t know at first that he had a team behind him who was covering the spots he wasn’t covering… fatal funnel yes but I believe it was an extraction video and they had to get into that back room to extract with cover in backs… CQB is dangerous and I’m sure the best of them have been clipped by the completely untrained plenty of times also I believe it was airsoft and they didn’t use any distraction devices to enter the back room but also the video was the head of the group going and that information was shown later but my guess is if someone’s going to get clapped it’s the first guy to enter and that’s usually a tough position to be and relying greatly on the guys behind you to help cover you quickly

[@theskyrider3455]

I actually like this guy. He has taught me and you a lot of useful and technical skills in the field of land navigation amongst other. But Stoker, please stay in your lane and stick to what you're actually proficient at. If you've never done CQB on the same level and in the same capacity as the person you're criticizing, you should only try to only learn from it not teach and evaluate it. Keep the good videos coming but about things you've actually done and have gained real experience in !
