Mastering CQB

This guide details advanced scanning and situational awareness techniques for tactical shooting, emphasizing the importance of looking beyond the target and through optics. Instruction from GBRS Group experts highlights how to train for real-world scenarios where peripheral vision and threat assessment are critical. The techniques focus on developing muscle memory for effective scanning after every engagement.

This video demonstrates a close-quarters battle (CQB) training scenario where a student's rifle unexpectedly engages full-auto fire, hitting the instructor. The footage highlights the intensity of force-on-force training, the importance of weapon familiarity, and the potential for unexpected outcomes even in controlled environments. The instructor, exhibiting an authoritative yet casual demeanor, provides immediate feedback and assessment.

This entry details a tactical approach to operating in high-stress environments, as explained by DJ Shipley of GBRS Group. It covers the pragmatic decision to forgo eye protection in certain CQB and vehicle-based scenarios to maintain focus and situational awareness, emphasizing a 'squint and send it' mentality. The content is derived from an expert with a Tier 1 Special Operations background.

This video features insights from a GBRS Group representative discussing the unique and dangerous role of Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) personnel. The speaker highlights the extreme risks involved, contrasting standard safety protocols with the hands-on, scientific approach required for dealing with various explosive devices. The discussion touches upon the intense training and operational experiences of EOD teams, emphasizing the critical need for specialized knowledge and procedures in high-stakes situations.

This video provides an expert-level CQB drill from Tactical Rifleman, focusing on navigating confined spaces and utilizing cover effectively. The instructor, demonstrating advanced tactical knowledge, explains techniques like 'gluing' the muzzle to a corner and 'pying' to understand movement dynamics. The drill emphasizes situational awareness and avoiding common mistakes such as crowding cover.

This video from GBRS Group, featuring an expert instructor, emphasizes the critical importance of safe reloading techniques within a tactical workspace. The core principles highlighted are maintaining muzzle discipline and constant situational awareness. The instruction covers how efficient reloads contribute to weapon controllability and maneuverability, essential for professionals in law enforcement, military, and even civilian applications.

This video demonstrates universal shooting standards, emphasizing under one-second engagement times from high and low ready positions. It showcases drills like the Bill Drill and a 3 Body, 2 Head sequence, highlighting efficient weapon manipulation and accuracy with a custom AR-15 build featuring an EOTech optic and GBRS Hydra Mount.

This guide, based on instruction from DJ Shipley of GBRS Group, details the critical importance of proper posture while wearing body armor. It emphasizes standing upright and squaring plates to the threat to maximize ballistic coverage, contrasting this with the dangerous practice of leaning forward, which can expose vital areas. The instruction highlights techniques for effective protection in tactical scenarios.

This GBRS Group video emphasizes mastering carbine reloads by prioritizing proper technique over raw speed. It highlights the critical importance of a firm, forward support grip (like a C-clamp) for weapon control during CQB and high-stress scenarios, warning against sacrificing fundamentals for fast 'par times'. The correct sequence involves sending the bolt, moving the support hand forward, establishing a solid grip, and then re-acquiring the target.

This video showcases an advanced tactical training session led by an expert with former Tier 1 Special Operations experience. The drill integrates live fire range exercises, high-intensity physical conditioning on an Echo Bike, and close-quarters battle scenarios, all while monitoring biometric data to simulate combat stress and optimize performance.
