We believe the first rule when we encounter in CQB situation, you should be always covered by your other team mates ; being alone in situation where the threat can appear from multiple directions with no warning is not recommended and definitely not a smart choice. Avoid CQB movement and clearing alone. However, if you have to do it by yourself then you had to prepare how to do it. There are several simple guidelines that will help you make it through:
- Observe for target signals and positions where the enemy can get shot at you with little or no warning. Quickly prioritize the positions in your mind. Cover the most threatening with your airsoft weapon and observe remaining within field of your view with presence of mind to engage any of the positions. Stay away from the most threatening positions as much as you can and try to work yourself to them with minimal exposure.
- Try to minimize or even avoid giving indication of yourself to enemy. Avoid making sounds with rush movement (this is if you are moving stealthily in the area and have not been noticed), be careful not to expose your weapon or equipment to areas that you haven't secured.
- And then focus to your movement and building clearing process as you try to maintain unified tactical. In other words stick to your tactical plan and don't fall over. Do not let your mind wander or become undisciplined about your movement. With high-tense situation like CQB, untrained individuals easily break any cohesive movement or become disoriented. Focus is one of the key.
- Hit accuracy. Why the real reason operators keep training shooting everyday? When it comes to the CQB position you need to place the rounds to target as accurate as possible. Miss counts for nothing and makes everything else disorganized.
