Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'economy of motion' in room clearing?

Economy of motion in room clearing means using the least amount of physical movement necessary to effectively clear sectors and engage threats. This conserves energy, increases speed, and reduces your exposure time to danger, especially when operating without support like a military working dog.

How does balance affect room clearing safety?

Maintaining proper balance when entering a room is critical for safety. Entering off-balance can expose your vulnerable side plates to uncleared sectors, making you an easier target and hindering your ability to react effectively to immediate threats.

What is the 'longer step' technique for room entry?

The 'longer step' technique involves taking a deliberate, extended step into the room upon entry, rather than short, choppy steps or a pirouette. This allows the shooter to remain more balanced, stable, and prepared to engage targets immediately upon entry.

What firearm setup is shown for room clearing?

The firearm shown is an AR-15 SBR (Short Barreled Rifle) chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO. It is equipped with a suppressor, a B5 Systems stock and vertical foregrip, and a red dot optic with a magnifier.
