How a Navy SEAL Clears a Room | Close Quarters Combat CQC | Tactical Rifleman

DISCLAIMER: This is NOT a TACTICS Video. Jason is ONLY showing tips on Foot-work; for Operators that already have mastered the basics of CQB. ****
This week on Tactical Rifleman we get into a little Close Quarters Combat (CQC) tips and techniques. CQC is practiced over the course of all Special Forces careers and endless hours are spent honing these skills as it is sometimes considered the “bread and butter” of the trade. Operators work tirelessly to perfect this craft and breakdown each phase of an assault as to increase their performance from one kinetic operation to the next. In this video, former Navy SEAL and owner of Arion Risk LLC shows us a simple hack to optimize efficiency of movement into a space. Although it may seem like common sense, even the entry through a doorway is thought about and practiced. The way in which an operator initially enters a space is just as important as their action within. An operator has to be on balance through all phases of an entry in order to take a well-placed shot regardless of target position. A simple calculation of foot placement and entry procedures can be the difference between a well-aimed and balanced shot and a miss. The technique shown in this video is a testament to the detail with which Green Berets and SEALs practice their trade. So, listen up! This video will forever change the way that you enter a room and may you never be off balance again.

Thank you for your service! But why in the world are you exposing all our elite force's methods and expertise for all our enemies to master?

There is a better way to turn a corner. You switch to third person view and pan the camera over. That way you can see around the corner without physically walking out.

I usually stop just shy of the corner and say in a medium but stern voice, 'hey is there any bad guys in there', if I hear nothing I assume its safe to enter.

The "military working dog" gag was funny as heck! And the timing, was great!

Worked on a movie a few years ago called "Insight" in which we did exactly what's being described in this video (a corner fed room, opening to the left). We had a technical adviser that was in the 19th SF to help us LOOK like we knew what we were doing but I don't think he ever covered the specific footwork that I see in this video. It was basically all about first guy; second guy; third guy and which sector of the room each one of them is going to take. We were filming at a place called "Blue Cloud Ranch" and I remember getting a safety briefing on day two about the Mohave Green rattlesnakes - and I was thinking "that would have been good to know on day one". It was a lot of fun actually, I served in the US Army for eight years but never got to do MOUT training while I was in because I did communications (31-F).

The way he just pulls that pug out of nowhere like a morning show cooking host "here's one we made earlier"

[tx_savage]

This man introduced his battle pup with a straight face. Lmao. Perfect.

And it's not like you can just spray and pray as you turn that corner because it could be hostages there. So much respect for you guys.

3:54 RIP Headphone user, thank you for your service.

I'm only watching this to win my water pistols battle with the boys

[randomdude]

Always good to watch a tradesman apply his craft. Nice work, definitely a dangerous bunch to face, if an opponent is putting this much thought into their game then you better be sharp. Would be hard to counter a sweep and clear executed by these guys. Still, its fun to run thought experiments. I bet they do the same thing.

I’m a student at UEI, we practice room clearing in our criminal Justice program. Thank you for this video. I’m looking to improve in every aspect when it comes to our training exercises
