Here’s another excerpt out of “From Insertion to Extraction”:
COMPLEXITY OF ENVIRONMENT: CQB is a thinking man’s game that requires entry team members to constantly think in three dimensions while simultaneously assaulting complex buildings and structures. In so doing, the team must recognize favorable threat angles against the enemy as well as potential threat angles against the entry team. It also requires ongoing communication and passing of critical information between entry team members in real time during the breach of the target room.
Entry team leaders must make reasonable decisions based on the information available to them at the time. When time is of the essence, entry team leaders typically do not have the luxury of waiting for a clear picture of what is contained in the target room before making a decision to breach it. As a result, entry team leaders and members should:
1. KEEP ROOM CLEARING PROCEDURES AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE: Keeping procedures simple prevents confusion and allows quicker reinforcement of the tactic, technique or procedure through repeated training. Make muscle memory your friend.
2. FOCUS ON CLEARING ONE ROOM AT A TIME: Entry team members need to focus on clearing individual rooms one at a time. Do not move to adjacent rooms until the initial target room is cleared.
3. ENTRY TEAM LEADERS SHOULD DECIDE WHICH ROOM CLEARING METHOD TO USE BASED ON INFORMATION CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO THEM: Issues for consideration include, but are not limited to, whether the target room is known to be occupied by enemy forces, the number and composition of enemy forces, whether the target room contains an objective, whether the target room is fortified, whether the target room or its contents represent key or critical terrain, the location of entry points into target room, the number and location of additional doorways or windows into the room (threat axes) and the security provided to the entry team by nearby friendly forces.
4. ENTRY TEAM MEMBERS MUST FULLY COMMIT TO AND ACT ON THE TEAM LEADER’S DECISIONS: Second guessing the entry team leader’s decisions will likely get the entire entry team eliminated. Once a decision is made by the entry team leader, the entry team must execute on that decision.
5. THE ENTRY TEAM MUST MAINTAIN COORDINATION AND COMMUNICATIONS DURING THE BREACH OF TARGET ROOM: Communication (even if unspoken) between entry team members is critical to a successful breach. Depending on the experience of the entry team, such communications can be verbal or non-verbal signals. (See “Communications”, Supra).
6. ENTRY TEAM MEMBERS SHOULD CROSS THE LINE OF DEPARTURE IMMEDIATELY: While using Dynamic Entry Techniques, don’t hesitate and get caught in the fatal funnel. Move quickly through the doorway/entry point and along the walls to increase lateral separation between each entry team member and to maximize triangulation of friendly fire on the enemy. If you get hit, step aside to allow other team members to breach the target room.
7. ENTRY TEAM MEMBERS SHOULD EXPECT ENEMY CONTACT: While clearing any danger area, entry team members should always expect close contact with the enemy and be ready to engage same. Anticipating enemy contact should prevent surprise/hesitation once it occurs and provide entry team members with a reaction time advantage.
8. EACH ENTRY TEAM MEMBER SHOULD ELIMINATE ALL IMMEDIATE THREATS AS HE/SHE ENCOUNTERS THEM: If Dynamic or Deliberate Room Entry techniques are being utilized, entry team members should eliminate threats while moving to their points of domination. First eliminate immediate threats. They pose more of a danger to the entry team member than potential threats that are positioned deeper in the room. That being said, rely on other entry team members to neutralize threats that are not in your sector and are deeper in the target room.
9. MOVE TO ALL DOMINATION POINTS: If the Dynamic Room Entry or Deliberate Room Entry technique is being utilized, entry team members should move to all points of domination as per their TTPs or SOPs.
10. NEVER STOP SCANNING SECTORS: Entry team members should stay focused and never stop scanning their sector/area of responsibility unless they are actively engaging a threat in their sector/area of responsibility. Hidden threats will often wait until the initial breach is completed before revealing themselves. Keep in mind that potential threats can be represented by open doors leading into target room, unidentified individuals in the target room and obstacles that cannot be cleared visually from the entry member’s current position. If such a potential threat exists, provide security for the rest of the entry team by covering it with your weapon.
11. CHECK YOUR CONDITION: On command of “ALL CLEAR”, each entry team member should check both their condition and the condition of other entry team members before reorganizing back into the stack. Entry team members should also make sure that they monitor their ammunition use. When in doubt, reload.

The lines on the ZEV Omen slide create an aggressive elegance that is simple yet effective. The serrations are placed along the side and top at just the right spots to provide a solid grip while manipulating the slide. Forward windows reduce reciprocating weight, which in turn, reduces fatigue and allows for faster shot follow-up placement. PTS Zev slides are precision machined from 6000 series aluminum and designed for the Tokyo Marui G17 platform. It may also fit WE and KJ G17s with some slight modification (please consult a professional airsoft technician for installation). There is a choice of 2 different red dot sight configurations – one for the Trijicon RMR and one for the Leupold DP-PRO).
