Actions outside the point of entry must be quick and well rehearsed. The
doorway or breach point is a dangerous position. The clearing team is focused
on entry and could be surprised by an enemy appearing unexpectedly in the
corridor.
A. Clearing team members’ positions relative to the door are important as
are their weapons’ carry positions. Team members stand as close to the entry
point as possible, staying in a crouched position. They hold their weapons
either in the high-carry or the low-carry position. They ensure the muzzle is
not pointed at another team member.
B. All team members must signal one another that they are prepared before
the team enters the room. The last man taps or squeezes the arm of the man in
front of him, and each one passes this signal along. Team members avoid the
use of a verbal signal, which may alert the enemy and destroy the element of
surprise.
C. All individual equipment that is carried must be selected carefully and
prepared properly to ensure that it is quiet and not cumbersome. Essential
items only should be carried during close quarters combat. Protective vests
and helmets should be worn by all team members. Additional protective
equipment, such as gloves, kneepads, or goggles, may be worn, depending on
the situation and the unit’s level of training.
The entire team should enter the room as quickly and as smoothly as possible
and clear the doorway immediately.
A. The door is the focal point of anyone in the room. It is known as the
“fatal funnel,” because it focuses attention at the precise point where the
individual team members are the most vulnerable. Moving into the room quickly reduces the chance that anyone will be hit by enemy fire directed at the doorway.
B. On the signal to go, the clearing team moves through the door quickly
and takes up positions inside the room that allow it to completely dominate the
room and eliminate the threat. Team members stop movement only after they have
cleared the door and reached their designated point of domination.
(1) The first man to enter moves in as straight a line as possible toward the comer for which he is responsible.
He may then turn and move deep into the far corner of the room.
The depth of his movement is determined by the size of the robin, any obstacles in the room such as furniture, and by the number and location of enemy and noncombatants in the room.
(2) The second man enters and moves toward the corner in the opposite direction, following the wall, but not directly against it.
(3) The number 3 man (team leader) buttonhooks inside the room at least 1 meter from the door, but between the number 1 man and the door.
(4) The squad leader can either use the number 4 man (normally the SAW gunner) as rear security at the breach site, or he can have him enter with the remainder of the team. If he enters, the number 4 man moves in the direction of the number 2 man and buttonhooks in the same way between the number 2 man and the door.
C. To make close quarters combat techniques work, each member of the
team must know his sector of fire and how his sector overlaps and links with
the sectors of the other team members. Team members do not move to the
point of domination and then engage their targets. They engage targets as they
move to their designated point. However, engagements must not slow
movement to their points of domination. Team members may shoot from as
short a range as 1 to 2 inches. They engage the most immediate enemy threats
first. Examples of immediate threats are enemy personnel who—
* Are armed and prepared to return fire immediately.
* Block movement to the position of domination.
* Are within arm’s reach of a clearing team member.
* Are within 3 to 5 feet of the breach point.
D. Each clearing team member has a designated sector of fire that is unique
to him initially but expands to overlap sectors of the other team members.
(1) The number 1 and number 2 men are initially concerned with the area
along the wall on either side of the door or entry point. This area is in their path
of movement, and it is their primary sector of fire. Their alternate sector of fire is
the wall that they are moving toward, sweeping back to the far corner.
(2) The number 3 and number 4 men start at the center of the wall opposite
their point of entry and sweep to the left if moving toward the left, or to the right if
moving toward the right. They stop short of their respective team member (either
the number 1 man or the number 2 man).
E. While the team members move toward their points of domination, they engage all
targets in their sector. Team members must exercise fire control and discriminate
between hostile and non combatant occupants of the room. Shooting is done without
stopping, using reflexive shooting techniques. Because the soldiers are moving and
shooting at the same time, they must move using careful hurry. They do not rush with total
disregard for any obstacles.
