The best way to clear a house—CQB for Operators and Noobs

From hostage rescue to burglary alarm calls, dynamic entries to slow and deliberate clearing, CQB and entry tactics have shifted over time—but the risks haven't gone away. It doesn't matter if you're a high-speed tactical operator or a patrol cop on the front lines, clearing structures with guns has some fundamental challenges, and there's no perfect way to do it. This episode explores the tradeoffs behind how we clear structures, why context matters, and what actually improves survivability when everything is working against you. Like what we're doing?
