Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary role of the #1 man during a 4-man CQB room entry?

The #1 man is responsible for the initial entry, performing a 'button hook' to clear his immediate corner, and establishing his point of domination and sector of fire until the #2 man can take over coverage.

How do operators ensure complete room coverage during a center-fed room entry?

Operators ensure complete coverage by establishing overlapping sectors of fire. Each team member clears their immediate area and maintains a field of view that complements their teammates, leaving no blind spots.

What is the significance of the 'pregnant pause' before entry in CQB?

The 'pregnant pause' is a critical moment before entry to ensure all team members are ready, coordinated, and positioned correctly, maximizing combat power and tactical advantage upon breaching the room.

What is the function of the #4 man in a 4-man CQB team?

The #4 man clears his sector opposite the #3 man and then prepares to become the new #1 man for the next entry point, ensuring a fluid and continuous clearing process through multiple rooms or areas.
