Conclusiones a partir de los resultados

a. The Number 1 and 2 Men's responsibility remain the same.

b. All shooters making room entry are responsible for clearing the Thresh Hold.

c. The Number 3 Man will make entry and will offset to the side of the first shooter who made entry in-to the room. Specifically, he will offset just inside the doorway, approximately two in-to three paces, and out of the fatal funnel. His Sector of Fire should start directly to his front at 12 O'Clock and should collapse to one meter off of the shooter that first made entry into the room, then collapse in the other direction to one meter off of the nearest shooter. Once the sector is clear, go back and look for brains.

d. The Number 4 Man will make entry and will offset to the side of the second shooter who made entry into the room. Specifically, he will offset just inside the doorway, approximately two to three paces, and out of the fatal funnel. The Number 4 Man's sector of fire will start directly to his front at 12 O'Clock in the room. It will then collapse to one meter off of the second shooter that made entry into the room, then collapsing in the other direction to one meter off of the nearest shooter. Once the sector is clear, go back and look for brains.

e. At this point, the 3 and 4 Men should be abreast of each other. Like the three man clear, we still have the horseshoe established between the four shooters, which allows for the greatest degree of flexibil-ity of sectors of fire. While the 3 and 4 Men are abreast of each other, they should not be standing shoul-der to shoulshoul-der, as this will greatly reduce their sector of fire.

4 MAN CLEAR

f. Once the first three fundamentals have been completed, by introducing the forth shooter allows for the entry team to work in two, two man teams to complete fundamentals 4, 5, and 6.

g. Before any shooter in the room can move, all shooters must pause and visually check to ensure that all shooting has ceased in the room before the verbiage of "CLOSE" and "CLOSING" is exchanged. Ex-ample is that shooters number 1, 2, and 3 have completed their engagements; shooter 1 announces

"CLOSING" while shooter 2 responds with "CLOSE"; As this is happening, shooter 4 is pausing for a brain shot and is still in the fight.

g. Just as with the three man clearing team, the size of the target will determine whether or not you can utilize a four man team concept.

h. Both the 3 and 4 men must be aware when while collapsing their respective sectors of fire that either the 1 and/or 2 men may still be moving toward their dominating position.

10. L-SHAPED ROOM. Stacking, Deploying Flashbangs, Sectors of Fire, and the fundamentals remain the same. The only thing that does change is how you will maneuver in the room.

a. 2-Man Clear without Support: It is safe to say that the chances of you getting your hands on a blueprint, and therefore knowing that an L-Shaped room exist within the Crisis Site is rare. Therefore, we should approach the L-Shaped Room as if we were clearing a square room, either with a corner or center door. While clearing that room, the L would appear while you are clearing your sector of fire, possibly while you are still moving to your dominating position. In other words, it would catch us by surprise.

(1) Either the Number 1 or 2 Man will end up on the short wall of the L, dependent on the direction of approach. Both shooters sector of fire remain the same, however, once the man who is on the L, better known as the barricade, finishes the collapse of his sector of fire, he should immediately focus his atten-tion on the barricade, as should the opposing shooter.

(2) The first shooter to recognize the L immediately sounds off with "L-SHAPED RIGHT/LEFT"

in order to warn the other shooter in the room.

(3) Once the two shooters have dominated, eliminated and controlled in the main room, if the barri-cade shooter is not positioned on the barribarri-cade, he needs to announce "CLOSING" and after receiving the reply, moves up to and dominates on the barricade, ensuring that he does not expose himself to the un-cleared L.

(4) The Barricade Man then announces loudly "SUPPORT". If their are no engaged targets, no liv-ing individuals, no other danger areas or areas that would require a search, then the other shooter in the room moves to and stacks on the barricade man, deploys a flashbang into the L, and both shooters make entry on the explosion as if the L were a separate enclosure.

(5) To make entry into an L, it is treated as a square room with a open corner door. The lead shooter goes to the wall that he sees and dominates. Te second shooter button hooks. Sectors of fire remain the same.

fig. 8 b. 2-Man Clear with Support:

(1) When the shooter stacked on the L sounds off with "SUPPORT", if their is an engaged threat, living individuals, danger areas, or areas that require a search, then the second shooter cannot move to the barricaded shooter, but must maintain coverage of the room. Both shooters will continue sounding off with "SUPPORT". Shooters positioned in the hallway, upon hearing the verbiage of "SUPPORT" should move to your room to offer that support that is needed.

(2) As the shooter in the hallway hears the verbiage "SUPPORT" coming from your room, he will announce "COMING THROUGH" as he enters the room and moves to the barricade shooter. (If the shooter that is entering the room to offer support is unsure of what is needed in the room, then he should enter the room, step to the side of the door, out of the fatal funnel. He then surveys the room and awaits to be directed to where the support is needed).

(3) This new shooter will stack on the barricade man, deploy a flashbang, and on the explosion, both shooters will make entry into the L, treating it as a square room, corner open door.

(4) The two shooters that just entered the L will conduct all six fundamentals in the L while the shooter in the main room maintains coverage.

(5) Once the six fundamentals have been completed in the L, both shooters turn and move into the main room, being directed by the shooter that was maintaining coverage.

(6) The remaining fundamentals are completed in the main room.

fig. 9 c. 3-Man Clear.

(1) The shooters make entry as if it were a square room.

(2) As earlier mentioned, the first shooter to observe the L-Shaped announces it. If the shooter lo-cated on the L wall is not dominating on the barricade, then he should sound off with "CLOSING". Once he receives the reply, he, along with the Number 3 Man, moves up to and stacks on the barricade. The flashbang is deployed and the two shooters make entry into the L as discussed before. The entire room is handled as we previously discussed.

d. 4-Man Clear.

(1) The shooters make entry as if it were a square room, four man entry team.

(2) The two shooters that are on the side of the L, once verbiage has been exchanged, will aggress the L. The two shooters that are in the main room, will complete the fundamentals in the main room, as the other two shooters are completing the fundamentals in the L.

(3) As shooters are no longer needed, they sound off with the appropriate verbiage and depart the room.

(4) Once the entire room has been completed, shooters mark and depart.
