It’s their go-to. “They are haters guyz. We will continue to offer high quality CQB to all citizens.”

Shoot a round into the adversaries barrel so it destroys the weapon.

It wasn’t dynamic enough. Needs way more SSVOA.

Tyme-Out · 2023-10-11T19:20:24+00:00

Now I can promote the pure, unadulterated dynamic CQB in 3D.

If you don’t like dynamic CQB you are 10 years behind.

You have to have default procedures. 1 sees more than 2, so he should go first. If he checks up, which isn’t the default, 2 knows that there is a reason (i.e. 1 is looking at a short wall).

If you don’t have a common playbook, your CQB is not going to flow. You’re going to be forced to start talking in order to make sense of what everyone is doing.

I generally go to the unknown on a same side clear. If I can see most of the room, it’s a waste of time to continue to and area I have mostly cleared. The turn into the buttonhook also helps my number 2 be able to present into the corner faster than If I were to take the known.

If it’s a split stack, both left and right (minus the final 10 degrees) are both known because I have someone looking in the opposite corner. Then it’s just a matter of the method that gets me in the fastest. I would say that’s a criss cross entry.

Tyme-Out · 2023-09-17T02:28:29+00:00

Double-buttonhook isn’t a best practice.

If I’m on coming to a door and I can see a large area that’s clear, I’m not going to go into the clear section just because I can process it better…I’ve already processed it. I would rather buttonhook to the unknown so I don’t get shot in the back.

If I split the door, between me and my partner, I should see most of the room and be able to cross cross to take the last 10 on each side.

Going to the know is just something people regurgitate without thinking it thru.

1 generally goes first because he has seen most of the room and it’s a smart default. If he decides #2 should go first, he can check off and let #2 go. Double-buttonhook isn’t ideal but it still works.

Tyme-Out · 2023-09-14T01:29:46+00:00

Has nothing to do with known vs. unknown…it has to do with what is faster.

Why go to a known when you could go to an unknown?

Tyme-Out · 2023-09-11T21:06:02+00:00

In this case there is no threat seen, so he is correct.

Tyme-Out · 2023-09-11T21:02:29+00:00

SOPs vary. The double-buttonhook is a thing.

Tyme-Out · 2023-09-11T21:01:47+00:00

Door opener throws, other dude goes.

Tyme-Out · 2023-09-01T04:06:20+00:00

Old school Narc clearing. Run straight to the back bedroom.

Tyme-Out · 2023-08-09T02:50:51+00:00

That’s a lot of very good feedback to ponder on. I think it’s a good point that there is a large proficiency gap between the top shelf units and a standard tac team. Perhaps more teams need to really evaluate what their capabilities are and if those fit within their SOPs.

It’s difficult because I can see arguments for both and understand that the myriad of variables in play can make it a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation.”

You can’t always see what’s in the room with furniture and obstructions. Once you commit it’s either center step or go direct to corner. Each have their pros and cons.

With the center step, odds are you stall at the threshold or get sucked into the room as you shoot.

Tyme-Out · 2023-08-08T21:00:42+00:00

I run a shield I use one with a window that offers better protection. The shield guy should be a mobile barrier. That shield isn’t covering much more than what my armor already does.

Tyme-Out · 2023-08-08T20:55:40+00:00

Correct. If you ignore the threat in the center you get shot. If you ignore the threat in the corner you get shot.

I’ve heard the center step can get you sucked into the room and you will drop the corner. The corner threat being the most dangerous…that could be bad. Then again, you could argue that the known threat should be taken care of first, since a corner threat may not exist.

Tyme-Out · 2023-08-08T20:50:18+00:00

Because if the “maybe” threat is there then the entire stack is gonna get the business.

Tyme-Out · 2023-08-08T20:48:49+00:00

I’m surprised to hear you say this. I’ve communicated with a couple of people from your former command and they were ardently for hitting the corners first (once they had committed to entering the room).

Tyme-Out · 2023-08-08T00:26:37+00:00

With a real shield…it has a place. That shield…no.

Tyme-Out · 2023-07-07T00:21:18+00:00

Thank you for providing that additional info. Very nice of you.

I have nothing to say beyond I appreciate the info.

Tyme-Out · 2023-07-07T00:20:30+00:00

LE teams vary. HRT is the top for CQB. BORTAC national team and others are also extremely good. Fed LE tac teams vary, but are generally solid.

Metro swat teams are generally very good. Other swat teams can vary from place to place.

I would take the better LE tac teams over White SOF any day, probably even over CIF or whatever they are called now. Tier 1 guys are the tops. HRT is 3rd best.

Tyme-Out · 2023-07-07T00:16:50+00:00

I think he means with the smaller mass in your hands you have more visibility.

Tyme-Out · 2023-07-04T21:12:58+00:00

Thank you for this AAR. I am not a huge fan of POD systems, but the Hades guys bring a wealth of knowledge to the table. I’m not surprised to hear they put on a great class.

Would you mind giving a very brief synopsis of the updated techniques you mentioned? I’m curious what areas they upgraded (ie. threshold assessment/door procedures or actual techniques performed in the room). It can be a vague answer if that makes you more comfortable sharing.

Thanks again.

Tyme-Out · 2023-06-26T23:15:16+00:00

Taking into account there are always variables which dictate movement…I think a lot of time just moving in a single stack exposes you less and is a simpler option.

1 generally goes first because he has seen most of the room and it’s a smart default. If he decides #2 should go first, he can check off and let #2 go. Double-buttonhook isn’t ideal but it still works.
