00:24.159 --> 00:24.909
Coming out

00:28.520 --> 00:31.610
So CQB teaches airmen just basic

00:31.610 --> 00:33.450
concepts of how to conduct room

00:33.450 --> 00:35.939
clearing , also just room to room

00:35.939 --> 00:37.919
battle or or fighting . I'm Staff

00:37.919 --> 00:40.130
Sergeant Larson . um , I'm a security

00:40.130 --> 00:41.852
forces training instructor and

00:41.852 --> 00:44.019
evaluator . What we're trying to do is

00:44.019 --> 00:46.019
just make it to where they have the

00:46.019 --> 00:48.220
foundational skills to conduct CQB so

00:48.220 --> 00:50.387
that they can preserve their own lives

00:50.387 --> 00:52.442
and others . At least right now what

00:52.442 --> 00:54.164
we're doing is , like I said ,

00:54.164 --> 00:56.220
foundationally just making sure that

00:56.220 --> 00:58.387
they understand the five principles of

00:58.387 --> 01:00.498
room clearing , which is gain entry .

01:00.498 --> 01:02.553
So we're making . into whatever room

01:02.553 --> 01:02.349
we're going into , we're clearing our

01:02.349 --> 01:04.680
corner visually and with our rifle .

01:05.110 --> 01:06.999
Once we clear that corner , we're

01:06.999 --> 01:09.110
running our wall . So what that means

01:09.110 --> 01:10.943
is we're basically just you'd be

01:10.943 --> 01:13.110
pointing your rifle at that wall along

01:13.110 --> 01:15.443
the entire wall , aka running your wall ,

01:15.443 --> 01:17.332
and then once you complete that ,

01:17.332 --> 01:19.388
you're scanning your sector . You're

01:19.388 --> 01:21.499
just looking around the room up until

01:21.499 --> 01:23.499
you get intersecting fields of fire

01:23.499 --> 01:23.269
with the other person who enters the

01:23.269 --> 01:25.430
room . What I expect them to see , or

01:25.430 --> 01:27.597
what I expect to see from them is that

01:27.597 --> 01:29.597
they're moving at a speed that they

01:29.597 --> 01:31.486
actually are doing all 5 of those

01:31.486 --> 01:33.870
things . If you do all 5 of those

01:33.870 --> 01:36.092
things at a slow methodical pace , it's

01:36.092 --> 01:38.203
going to be fast . The most rewarding

01:38.203 --> 01:40.370
thing is getting the folks who come up

01:40.370 --> 01:42.148
to me afterwards saying , Hey ,

01:42.148 --> 01:44.259
Sergeant Larson , can I come out here

01:44.259 --> 01:46.426
again ? Train with you just one on one

01:46.426 --> 01:48.203
maybe just go through the basic

01:48.203 --> 01:50.259
principles and do room clearing just

01:50.259 --> 01:52.481
with you . I think that's awesome . Try

01:52.481 --> 01:54.648
to provide them the best training they

01:54.648 --> 01:56.814
have , give them the best foundational

01:56.814 --> 01:56.675
skills so they can go forward . Like I

01:56.675 --> 01:58.897
said , when they come back to me at the

01:58.897 --> 02:01.119
end of the day with either questions on

02:01.119 --> 02:03.231
how to get better or how they want to

02:03.231 --> 02:05.564
practice in the future , that's awesome .

02:05.564 --> 02:07.786
It just shows that they care . If I get

02:07.786 --> 02:07.044
no questions and everyone just leaves

02:07.044 --> 02:09.100
disgruntled , I know that I wasn't a

02:09.100 --> 02:09.514
good instructor that day .
