TWO MAN ROOM CLEARINGTWO MAN ROOM CLEARING
Everything we do in CQB builds off of two man room clearing.
#1 Man provides security of the breach point and enters the room in the path of least resistance.
#2 Man breaches or opens the door and goes in the opposite direction of the #1 man.
Each man’s sector extends from the corners to one meter off the muzzle of the other man’s weapon.
