Close Quarters Battle (CQB) is one of the most high-risk, high-stress environments a tactical team can encounter. Training for room clearing and building urban operations requires absolute precision, split-second decision-making, and seamless teamwork.
What are you using to build it? (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides)
Content: What the students will master by the end of the session (e.g., threshold braking, room pieing, multi-room flow). Section B: Anatomy of a Room & Choke Points
Images of: “I see enemy,” “Go around corner,” “Hold,” “Breach”
What is your ? (e.g., military, law enforcement, private security, airsoft/milsim)
Often acts as the mechanical, ballistic, or explosive breacher before entry. Maintains physical contact or close proximity to the 1-man. 3-Man (The Team Leader/Security) Clears the center and deep sectors of the room. Maintains communication and tactical situational awareness. 4-Man (The Rear Guard) Secures the hallway, stairs, or rear fatal funnels. Ensures the team isn't flanked during structural clearing. Module 5: Handling Unknown Variables
Before a team even enters a room, they face the most dangerous area: the . This is the doorway or narrow opening where an operative is most exposed and has the least amount of maneuverability. Key Teaching Points:
This section establishes the psychological and physical foundation for all tactical maneuvers:
“Train fundamentals. Adapt technology. Dominate the close fight.”
Dynamic vs. Deliberate Entry (Pros/Cons comparison) Slide 5: Anatomy of a Room (Deep corners and fatal angles) Slide 6: The 4-Man Stack: Roles 1 through 4 Slide 7: Hallway Formations & Intersections Slide 8: Threat Assessment & Priority Matrix
Moves in the opposite direction of the Pointman. Their job is to clear the opposite deep corner and collapse the sector of fire toward the center.
Involves multiple combatants in close proximity.
