Prepping a Room
Before entry into a room/threshold one or more of the following is done to prepare the room.
- Flash bang the entrance area
- Grenade into the room if we know for sure who is inside, and we don't want them to live. (This is covered in Advanced CQB Training)
- A breaching charge on the door to facilitate a violent/surprise entry. Usually done of the first door we enter, or on doors where stacking is not practical. Team lead will call for a breaching charge when needed. (This is covered in Advanced CQB Training)
Flashbang | Frag Procedure
The most common way to prepare a room for entry is the use of a flashbang. The following procedure is used for various reasons, primarily the limitation in game.
- Point man or Team Leader will ask for a flashbang, either verbally or non verbally (taught in CQB trainings).
- Point man will step out of the wall and slightly into the threshold to allow a good angle for two man. He will not move from this position until the flashbang is in the room.
- Two man will take out a flashbang and take position behind the point man. The point man and his plates (armor) protect the two man.
- Two man will set his arc using the mouse wheel.
- When two man has his arc set and is ready, he will call
flash ready
to the point man. - Point man will respond with
swinging
and open the door. - Two man throws the flashbang.
- Both point man and two man step back to the wall where they were before away from the threshold and back into cover.
- As soon as the flashbang goes off, entry is made.
The same procedure can be used if a Grenade (Frag) is called for by the team lead into a room, with the only difference being the two man will call frag ready
and as the frag goes out, he will call frag out
.
Breaching Charge Procedure
When called for, the 3 Man is responsible for planting a breaching charge, as a breaching charge is usually used in conjunction with a flash bang, which is the responsibility of the 2 Man. The procedure for a breaching charge is as follows:
- Point man or Team Leader will call for a breaching change either verbally or nonverbally (view nonverbals).
- Three man will call
breacher up
and approach the door with his rifle out. - Three man will set the charge on the door and get his sidearm out.
- Three man returns to his place in the stack.
- Team Lead will give control to the breacher with the call
breacher you have control
- If a flash was called in conjuction with the breaching change it will be prepped with the same procedure we saw before.
- Breacher will call
i have control
. - Breacher will call
breaching, breaching, breaching
and activate the charge. - If a flash was call for it will go into the room.
- Entry is made.
