Frequently Asked Questions

What is the importance of internal dialogue in CQB training?

Internal dialogue and asking hard questions before a crisis allows operators to pre-decide actions. This preparation enables more instinctive and decisive reactions when faced with real-world problems, enhancing overall effectiveness under pressure.

How does 'tactical buy-in' contribute to operator performance?

True tactical professionalism is achieved when operators willingly 'buy in' to a method. This belief ensures they execute tactics at 100% of their ability, rather than merely following orders, leading to higher performance and reliability.

Why is contextual training crucial for CQB operators?

Contextual training refines skills by connecting them to the specific realities operators face, such as common structures like trailers or hallways. This approach, combined with group problem-solving, aligns different tactical schools of thought effectively.

What is 'CQB IQ' and how is it improved?

CQB IQ refers to an operator's comprehensive understanding and proficiency in Close Quarters Battle. It's improved through focused training that enhances technical skills like presentation speed from the 'high ready,' enabling faster, more cohesive movement and shooting.
