WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.640 --> 00:00:32.920 I'm. My name is Terry 2 00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:35.960 Shepherd and I will be your guide into the world of close quarter battle. 3 00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:37.080 I'm a current U.S. 4 00:00:37.080 --> 00:00:40.240 Army Green Beret, and I have fought in two armed conflicts in the Middle East. 5 00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.320 Together, we'll explore how elite soldiers and police units use these specific 6 00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:47.720 techniques to defeat their enemies at very close range. 7 00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:50.800 The term close quarter battle is used to describe scenarios 8 00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:54.360 that police and military face in both urban and rural environments. 9 00:00:54.680 --> 00:00:57.520 Although the origin of close quartered battle goes back to sword fighting 10 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:01.160 and hand-to-hand combat today, it's used primarily to describe the techniques 11 00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:05.800 when small teams are confronting an enemy inside a building or within a compound. 12 00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:11.120 Stairwells, hallways and rooms always pose dangerous and unknown variables 13 00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:16.800 from basic muzzle awareness, weapons transitions to silent team communication. 14 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:20.080 All police and military units need to be expert in the techniques 15 00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:21.440 of close quarters battle. 16 00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:24.120 In today's episode, 17 00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.480 we will learn how the key to gaining the element of surprise in any close 18 00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:31.480 quarter battle situation is getting accurate information about your target. 19 00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:35.960 We will also take a look at the concept of breaching through dynamic entry. 20 00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:39.160 This is the term that military and police use to describe 21 00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:42.880 entering a building or room using shotguns and explosive shape charges 22 00:01:43.240 --> 00:01:47.440 to blow down a barricaded door or wall to gain elements of surprise, 23 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:49.720 speed and violence of action. 24 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.360 I will give you an historical overview of the formation of police 25 00:01:56.360 --> 00:02:00.320 rapid response units and their use of military concepts and tactics. 26 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:10.120 We will see inside the head of a rapid response unit team member 27 00:02:10.320 --> 00:02:14.600 and feel how maintaining surprise, speed and violence of action 28 00:02:14.600 --> 00:02:15.280 in the fourth quarter 29 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:19.360 battle through weapons awareness, field of fire and coordinated team 30 00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:23.560 communication and movement is the key to a successful Scooby operation. 31 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:27.840 Finally, I will be on a live fire 32 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:32.080 demonstration, what's called a kill house with a police rapid response unit. 33 00:02:32.320 --> 00:02:36.360 As we move through working room by room to overwhelm the space 34 00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.400 and take out any threats. 35 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:44.200 The formation of a SWAT team in L.A. 36 00:02:44.200 --> 00:02:45.200 County really marked 37 00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:48.880 the development of tactical response units all across the United States. 38 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.760 SWAT in L.A. really kind of took a blending of military concepts 39 00:02:52.760 --> 00:02:56.480 and law enforcement concepts and made them very effective for where they are. 40 00:02:56.480 --> 00:02:58.480 L.A. is a dangerous place. 41 00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:00.120 Something I admire about those guys 42 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.440 is that not only do they have to get in the target 43 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:06.160 and successfully take care of business there, they're surrounded by a civilian 44 00:03:06.160 --> 00:03:09.880 population, not all of them friendly, but definitely all of them cannot be hurt. 45 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:12.520 So they're able to surgically complete a mission. 46 00:03:12.920 --> 00:03:15.080 It's difficult at best and dangerous at worst. 47 00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:32.960 The history of elite police close quarter battle techniques starts 48 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.840 by looking at how police faced challenges like riots and civil unrest 49 00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:40.240 and then began adopting military style tactics and weapons. 50 00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:44.400 In the 1970s, elite military units influenced 51 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.440 police units in Northern California, which resulted in L.A. 52 00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:49.720 County forming the first SWAT teams 53 00:03:50.640 --> 00:03:54.480 as international criminal organizations and terrorists became more sophisticated. 54 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:59.200 Police organizations all over the world had to adopt more of these military 55 00:03:59.320 --> 00:04:02.680 close quarter battle techniques. 56 00:04:50.760 --> 00:04:54.640 One of the most important things a SWAT team absolutely has to do is 57 00:04:54.640 --> 00:05:00.480 get dynamic entry, whether it's a shotgun blast, a charge or a battering ram. 58 00:05:01.080 --> 00:05:04.760 It's vitally important that those guys get inside quickly and aggressively. 59 00:05:05.400 --> 00:05:09.080 So whether it's a military unit or some police force around the United States, 60 00:05:09.640 --> 00:05:12.240 surprise, speed and violence 61 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.440 of action, principles of secrecy that will win the day for them. 62 00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:18.920 When preparing to enter a suspected drug dealer's 63 00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:22.160 apartment, there are various methods of entry available to them. 64 00:05:22.760 --> 00:05:26.880 The three primary methods of dynamic breaching are one shotgun, 65 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:31.000 using specialized shotgun rounds to attack either the lock or the hinges. 66 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:39.160 Using carefully placed and measured explosives to defeat the lock hinges 67 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:44.960 or even cave in the door itself. And three. 68 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.760 Swinging a battering ram to hit near the lock assembly of the door, 69 00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:50.800 shattering the lock and pushing the door open. 70 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.600 It was 911 that really highlighted just how vulnerable we are. 71 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.480 Even the smallest police department has its own tactical response unit 72 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:03.760 as well as our national assets. 73 00:06:03.760 --> 00:06:06.680 All of them have to be able to deal with chemical attacks, 74 00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:11.400 biological attacks, nuclear attacks and, of course, shootings and explosives. 75 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.560 All of these assets from local all the way to national 76 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.600 are in communication and mutually benefit from training. 77 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.360 But all of them have one thing in common. 78 00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:21.160 Every one of them, 79 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.600 in order to be effective and protect the population, has to be good at QB. 80 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:12.920 Now let's take a look at 81 00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.760 information and intelligence gathering and their different means. 82 00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:19.080 First and foremost is human based intel gathering, 83 00:07:19.400 --> 00:07:22.520 where operatives are officers are undercover in civilian clothes, 84 00:07:22.960 --> 00:07:26.560 observing the target area or personality and reporting back to command. 85 00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.080 Another form of surveillance in modern close quarters. 86 00:07:29.080 --> 00:07:32.640 Battle is technically assisted, where unmanned aerial vehicles, 87 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:37.720 closed circuit cameras, GPS tracking and audio bugging equipment is utilized 88 00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:41.040 to design a clear plan of assault on the could be target. 89 00:07:43.080 --> 00:07:45.600 Because of the nature of of where we are and who we're talking 90 00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:48.920 to, I can't tell you his name and I can't let you get a look at him. 91 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:49.920 But I'm really excited 92 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:53.760 because I'm going to get a tour inside one of their tactical surveillance vans. 93 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:56.640 Give me a little tour about what you guys have here and the capabilities of this. 94 00:07:57.400 --> 00:08:01.520 So just now, we all move mobile communication and operations group, 95 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:05.760 which is for leading of 96 00:08:05.760 --> 00:08:09.120 operations, not able to communicate to all the different levels. 97 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:14.560 The Marine Corps, crucially, we all come on staff or before we go for negotiation, 98 00:08:15.640 --> 00:08:18.640 we for communication launches. 99 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:21.760 Now, how many guys normally would 100 00:08:21.760 --> 00:08:24.600 you have in this van for for operation. Operation. 101 00:08:25.280 --> 00:08:27.920 So you try to score. And usually 102 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.680 we have a negotiation technique, Google, bamboo and buffalo parking. 103 00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:35.200 I think also people think that surveillance is this kind of cool, 104 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.360 glamorous job. It's a lot of hard work, isn't it? 105 00:08:37.800 --> 00:08:41.320 We are not going to do a global, long, slow 106 00:08:42.280 --> 00:08:44.400 forest training called recall. 107 00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:46.600 You have to you have to go to the bathroom. 108 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:49.800 Actually, let me see this, man. Awesome. 109 00:08:49.800 --> 00:08:52.600 Coming up, I'm going to observe some kill house flow drills. 110 00:08:53.520 --> 00:08:54.360 I'm going to take a look 111 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:57.160 at the plate and load bearing vest of an elite police operator. 112 00:08:57.640 --> 00:09:02.320 Then I go downrange with the agent KMP five nine millimeter submachine gun. 113 00:09:08.640 --> 00:09:12.960 Today we are looking at police rapid response tactics for close quarter battle 114 00:09:13.040 --> 00:09:16.880 and how surveillance weapons training at gaining dynamic entry 115 00:09:16.880 --> 00:09:21.280 all allow control of surprise, speed and violence of action. 116 00:09:21.520 --> 00:09:23.320 A kill house is a live fire training 117 00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.720 area used by police and military to do what's called flow drills. 118 00:09:27.280 --> 00:09:30.440 The area is usually built out of tires or rubber padded walls 119 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:32.040 that ensure stray bullets 120 00:09:32.040 --> 00:09:36.080 do not ricochet back into the officers as they move to clear rooms and practice. 121 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:39.560 Cubby C could be is extremely dangerous. 122 00:09:39.760 --> 00:09:43.120 That's actually pretty dangerous to train if you want to train it to a high level. 123 00:09:43.560 --> 00:09:47.440 What we're doing today is working as a team, what we call flow drills, going 124 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:51.880 through the target and taking it down, but without ammo or explosives yet. 125 00:10:05.920 --> 00:10:06.760 The idea behind a 126 00:10:06.760 --> 00:10:10.080 kill house came from the military and police, understanding 127 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:13.080 that in real world hostage or building assault situations, 128 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:15.800 there is a need for operators to feel comfortable 129 00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:19.600 in close quarters battles with weapons firing and explosives 130 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:34.160 detonating right next to them and all around them. Payback back. 131 00:10:39.880 --> 00:10:44.120 So that was great watching those guys flow, very deliberate flow. 132 00:10:44.400 --> 00:10:47.320 Something I don't usually see in my line of work in the military is 133 00:10:47.560 --> 00:10:50.160 they had a guy with a big heavy shield up front the whole time. 134 00:10:50.520 --> 00:10:52.320 It makes a lot of sense if you can have that 135 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:55.000 and you know, you've got bad guys in here that are going to try to kill you. 136 00:10:55.040 --> 00:10:56.640 A lot of it's the same kind of stuff. 137 00:10:56.640 --> 00:10:59.920 Same principles want to aggressively move forward. 138 00:10:59.920 --> 00:11:00.960 They have to hold on a door. 139 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.840 They used flashbangs when they lost their momentum. 140 00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:06.280 It's going to be great. 141 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:10.280 Okay. So I'm in an undisclosed location in the Czech Republic at the 142 00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:15.440 we're not training compound or not stands for draw replay of last season. 143 00:11:15.640 --> 00:11:18.080 This is the national police force of the Czech government. 144 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:19.520 This is pretty much the most elite 145 00:11:19.520 --> 00:11:23.200 unit for dealing with terrorist activity and pretty much a lot of other missions. 146 00:11:23.560 --> 00:11:25.640 And with one of their best weapons instructors, 147 00:11:25.640 --> 00:11:27.960 you've got a few of them here. So what's this first one? 148 00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:31.600 This is a 25 room conversion. 149 00:11:33.160 --> 00:11:35.360 Yeah. This is a this is a shorter barrel. 150 00:11:35.920 --> 00:11:39.320 Okay. And we know some people don't know it shoots nine millimeter. 151 00:11:40.880 --> 00:11:43.520 And yeah, this is a this is a shorter barrel. 152 00:11:43.520 --> 00:11:45.920 So is the accuracy going to go down on this a little bit? 153 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.960 Uh, not so much. Probably not so much. 154 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:50.440 So this is perfect for close in work. 155 00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:53.080 And I'm a lefty, so I get to eat 156 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:55.880 all the gas that comes flying out here, which is pretty, pretty cool. 157 00:11:55.960 --> 00:12:00.920 This got a selector switch for single three round burst and full auto. 158 00:12:01.520 --> 00:12:03.680 So you have a lot of different options 159 00:12:03.680 --> 00:12:06.720 and we have no optics on this, but these are very easy to control. 160 00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:08.560 I haven't shot an MP five in a long time 161 00:12:08.560 --> 00:12:12.240 for quite some time, but I know that they're pretty easy to control. 162 00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:15.880 Pull them in nine millimeter, boom. 163 00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:49.320 All right. So, of course, the minute 164 00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:52.280 anybody like me gets in, gets in the same room with a piece of kit, 165 00:12:52.280 --> 00:12:56.160 we've got to try it on, see if we like it so it feels right. 166 00:12:56.160 --> 00:12:59.640 That's about the right heft. It's got the protective plates in the soft armor, 167 00:13:02.680 --> 00:13:06.360 lots of Velcro to get in and out quickly. 168 00:13:08.280 --> 00:13:10.160 This is a very familiar feeling. 169 00:13:10.160 --> 00:13:14.360 Getting kitted up, locking it down, and I'm ready to go. 170 00:13:14.520 --> 00:13:16.760 There's a few things you can see here immediately. 171 00:13:16.760 --> 00:13:18.120 This is a right handed shooter. 172 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:21.120 This holster is here for quick access. You can draw it and shoot. 173 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:22.160 I'm left handed. 174 00:13:22.160 --> 00:13:25.160 Mine would be over here. He's got his radio. 175 00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:27.680 He's got various magazine pouches. 176 00:13:27.680 --> 00:13:30.000 You'll see here a metal cable. 177 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.240 Very important, because this is actually a breakaway piece of body armor. 178 00:13:34.160 --> 00:13:37.360 If I need to get out of this quickly, for example, my vehicle gets 179 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:40.440 pushed in the water and I'm drowning. I need to get out of this quickly. 180 00:13:40.680 --> 00:13:42.680 I can pull a handle and it breaks away. 181 00:13:42.680 --> 00:13:46.480 Also, in the event that I am wounded, my comrades can get to me a lot quicker. 182 00:13:46.560 --> 00:13:48.720 Key thing about any kind of kit. 183 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.120 The operators got to know where everything is instinctively. 184 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:53.880 So before you take this into combat, 185 00:13:53.880 --> 00:13:57.680 you need to train with it over and over and over again. 186 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:01.560 Coming up, we go inside the head of an L.A. 187 00:14:01.560 --> 00:14:04.400 County SWAT team member as they take down a drug lab. 188 00:14:04.880 --> 00:14:07.520 Then we take a look at the MP five and the shotgun. 189 00:14:13.040 --> 00:14:15.920 In today's episode we are looking at police rapid response 190 00:14:15.920 --> 00:14:20.120 unit, close quarter battle tactics and how surprise, speed 191 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:23.680 and violence of action are maintained by strict weapon control 192 00:14:23.920 --> 00:14:26.120 team movement and dynamic entry. 193 00:14:26.800 --> 00:14:30.600 Jumping into the head of a rapid response unit member while training a kill house 194 00:14:30.880 --> 00:14:33.680 gives you an idea of how operators do flow drills 195 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:36.720 and gain awareness of a team movement and weapon control. 196 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:40.680 Assault teams will train in the Kill House over and over to ensure that all 197 00:14:40.680 --> 00:14:43.840 these elements are under their control in a real world scenario 198 00:14:45.760 --> 00:14:49.760 and they operate with confidence and keep themselves and their teammates alive. 199 00:14:50.680 --> 00:14:53.080 When a team moves toward a target, they must commit 200 00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:55.560 to all the three principles of close quarters battle 201 00:14:56.400 --> 00:14:59.200 by moving with stealth through various cover and hidden positions. 202 00:14:59.640 --> 00:15:03.200 They maintain the element of surprise with a constant pace information. 203 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:05.120 They maintain the element of speed. 204 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:06.480 And finally, with a sudden 205 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:09.720 coordinated attack, they commit to the violence of action required 206 00:15:09.800 --> 00:15:12.560 to dominate the assault. 207 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:21.320 With helmet and gun cameras attached to this rapid response team. 208 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:25.160 We get to feel how it feels to be making a fraction of second decisions 209 00:15:25.160 --> 00:15:28.280 that keep you, your team and any civilians 210 00:15:28.280 --> 00:15:31.360 in the area alive when moving toward a target. 211 00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:34.520 Team members hold the weapons with a muzzle pointed in the direction 212 00:15:34.520 --> 00:15:37.760 of travel and slightly down to allow for unobstructed vision. 213 00:15:38.280 --> 00:15:41.880 Also, the muzzle is always oriented to where the soldier is looking. 214 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:50.000 Actions outside the point of entry must be quick and well-rehearsed 215 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:53.200 because the doorway or breach point is always a dangerous position. 216 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.320 Why did you want this? The better. 217 00:16:04.400 --> 00:16:06.680 Come on, buddy. Get out 218 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:14.480 of my life.

All right, so now we've got 242 00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:34.520 we've got our shotgun little. 243 00:17:34.520 --> 00:17:36.280 Yeah. Benelli wheels. 244 00:17:36.280 --> 00:17:38.160 You poor Andrew. 245 00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:40.440 You guys use that to breach doors 246 00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:43.360 to shoot who shoot or from parents or roots. 247 00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:46.880 What do you do when you walk? Okay. 248 00:17:47.520 --> 00:17:50.400 But it also that could also go to like a semi mode, too, right? 249 00:17:51.360 --> 00:17:52.280 So you can switch. 250 00:17:52.280 --> 00:17:56.480 It can be so remote and then it will cycle for you. Right. 251 00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:58.800 Or do you got it. 252 00:17:58.800 --> 00:17:59.560 Yeah. When you're doing 253 00:17:59.560 --> 00:18:02.200 when you're doing breaching, you want to have it on manual always. 254 00:18:03.560 --> 00:18:06.320 So I think it's time to shoot them. 255 00:18:26.520 --> 00:18:27.960 Coming up, I'm going to jump 256 00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:30.760 into the kill house flow drills and test my skills out. 257 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:33.800 Then we'll revisit our real world rapid response scenarios 258 00:18:34.120 --> 00:18:37.560 with a better understanding of what's involved in a high stakes life 259 00:18:37.560 --> 00:18:39.600 or death close quarter battle situation. 260 00:18:46.120 --> 00:18:50.000 Today we're training some of the basic police could be tactics from kill house, 261 00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:53.600 live fire drills, weapons training and dynamic entry. 262 00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:57.760 So I've had a chance to watch these guys flow and it's pretty much the same way 263 00:18:57.760 --> 00:19:00.400 we do things to. The principles are awfully close. 264 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:02.800 So I'm a plug myself into the stack. 265 00:19:02.800 --> 00:19:05.120 In this case, I'm going to start in the back. 266 00:19:05.120 --> 00:19:08.200 But once we get in there and start moving through and problems present 267 00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:10.400 and we go in different directions, it'll change. 268 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:11.280 There's going to be a lot of fun. 269 00:19:14.760 --> 00:19:16.960 My job now is to cover Rear Security until we get in. 270 00:19:34.840 --> 00:19:37.960 Breaching techniques vary widely based on the type of construction 271 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.400 encountered and the types of explosives available to the breaching force. 272 00:19:49.840 --> 00:19:52.800 What we see here is a shape charge, which is basically four pieces 273 00:19:52.800 --> 00:19:56.200 of wood connected with explosives on the side facing the door. 274 00:19:56.840 --> 00:20:00.400 Then a long detonation cord is attached so that the team can be a safe distance 275 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:02.760 away from the explosion. 276 00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:37.120 You know. Once inside the Hill house, all my CPB training comes back to me 277 00:20:37.120 --> 00:20:41.160 and I fall into my position in the stack, starting out as the last man. 278 00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:45.040 I'm responsible for Rear Security, but as we move through, my position 279 00:20:45.040 --> 00:20:47.160 changes and I have to commit to room 280 00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:49.520 clearing and door security with the rest of the guys. 281 00:20:50.360 --> 00:20:52.680 As rooms get cleared and flashbangs fly, 282 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.040 everyone has to maintain as much silent communication as possible. 283 00:21:10.520 --> 00:21:36.400 Let's be clear. Every time. 284 00:21:59.560 --> 00:22:01.320 What's up, guys? 285 00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:05.840 Paul Lewis. Finally, the entire Kewl House is quiet. 286 00:22:06.040 --> 00:22:07.600 As all of us start to replay 287 00:22:07.600 --> 00:22:10.800 how the assault unfolded and how accurate our shots were. 288 00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:14.720 Welcome to the Czech Republic. 289 00:22:17.520 --> 00:22:20.920 In this episode, we were looking at police rapid response tactics 290 00:22:21.800 --> 00:22:23.920 as we revisit our real world scenarios. 291 00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:28.080 We can now better appreciate how important gaining dynamic entry, 292 00:22:28.360 --> 00:22:32.720 strict weapon control and team movement are to the three main rules of CQ. 293 00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:36.760 Be Surprise, speed and violence of action. 294 00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:38.520 The entire team enters the room 295 00:22:38.520 --> 00:22:41.160 quickly and smoothly and clears the doorway immediately 296 00:22:41.840 --> 00:22:44.760 because the door is always the focal point for anyone inside the room. 297 00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:49.160 Focusing attention here is crucial for a successful Scooby operation. 298 00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:52.440 First policy. The. 299 00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:18.440 Oh. Full time, full term. 300 00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:20.440 Look, I did that. 301 00:23:21.800 --> 00:23:24.080 In the case of countering terrorist attacks, 302 00:23:24.080 --> 00:23:27.200 all rapid response team members must move as one unit 303 00:23:27.520 --> 00:23:30.480 and know exactly what the responsibility within their team is. 304 00:23:31.280 --> 00:23:34.840 Repeated and realistic training enables teams to move forward 305 00:23:34.840 --> 00:23:38.520 with speed and with primary concern for the safety of their team members 306 00:23:38.800 --> 00:23:44.120 and any potential civilian casualties or hostages. Depending. 307 00:23:59.040 --> 00:24:02.160 Once the target has been located, bystanders, civilians 308 00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:17.040 are separated from the hostages and targets. Somebody. Oh. 309 00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:31.840 The actual event of violence, of action 310 00:24:32.120 --> 00:24:35.640 can be over in a matter of seconds. 311 00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:48.040 In today's episode, 312 00:24:48.040 --> 00:24:50.800 we learned about the creation of rapid response in urban 313 00:24:50.800 --> 00:24:54.240 police units and how they need to be experts in military style. 314 00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:56.160 Close quarter battle and weaponry. 315 00:25:03.840 --> 00:25:07.240 We also learn how training with submachine guns and real explosives 316 00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:11.520 inside a live fire kill house allows rapid response teams to stay in control 317 00:25:11.520 --> 00:25:17.280 of all three principles of CQ Beat Surprise, speed and violence of action.
