Several things to say.
1: please please please keep this series going, both urban and wilderness
2: if you think someone is behind a door that you want to cross, you can peek between the door and the frame without exposing yourself.
3: everyone in this video rocks
2: if you think somebody is behind the door, dump a whole mag thrue it and the walls around it..last thing in life I wanna do is shoot, not peek
@@chasesmith5123 nah still depends where you at my door has this ledge, that you cant see past on both sides. And this is the only way i have seen doors and i live in arizona.
Tactical FACT right hurrrr
Milspec Mojo can out shoot all of these guys
@@overall3307 totally agree man
My time in the Infantry taught me a few things. People have hesitated or froze in the doorway. Most people will never overcome this fear no matter how much they train. Don't forget to train your mind for battle, tactics are only a fraction of it.
i was told that its similar to jumping, the scariest part is leaving the plane
The second guy can just push the fucker in.
That's why #2 man is right behind you to shove you in the door so everybody doesn't die in the fatal funnel.
and trust the guys coming in with your to make that entry and get your back
This is why the 2nd man is usually the team leader and most experienced one so they can push the first guy through if need be and keep things flowing.
When I was in Fallujah in 2005 our Company Commander told us that in a CQB environment that we are in we can expect a 80% casualty potential
cqb is the most dangerous thing
USMC basic expectations
Did you really suffer that many casualties? It seems like the US military doesnt really take too many casualties in general.
@@rodiculous9464 80% is a ratio. It's irrelevant if there's 100 casualties or 10,000 casualties. It just means a large chunk of casualties are probably from engagement in CQB.
@@rodiculous9464 every instance of Fallujah was a bloodbath for both sides. My uncle lost his entire team there and was the only one to survive during an entry. He was army and he even said what the Marines experienced there was true hell.
I will always have the utmost respect for any man that willingly walked into Fallujah. The strays ate good for awhile.
For people new to this, the examples he gives to every day, mundane situations like "Doritos speed", are incredibly helpful.
Something I love about Garand thumb is that he’s always wary about the word usage that’s being said and always stops to explain things for the sake of truly teaching us
He's a dad, he wants to make sure the dad knowledge sinks-in properly.
Agreed, im glad i know Jared wears a size 2 small crye pants
Straight up Master class. Some things in here you'll only find in years of experience, and one of the biggest drops of info in like the first 3 min. "a lot of problems can be solved from outside".
Some things I want to add is working in an urban environment is hard. Way harder than rucking mountains. I know here they are slick, but you won't be. Depending on support, you may be doing this with a small sustainment load. If you have to go from house to house to house, sprinting across streets, covering every door window and alley... you're going to be exhausted and you'll feel your techniques slipping. Fight the urge to get sloppy.
Next, mobility is king. Be light, those haligan tools, cook sets, sleeping systems are going to feel like anchors. If you're doing more than just one building, consider your loadout and bring mission essential items ONLY. Stage the rest. One of the nice things about cities is there is an abundance of scavengeable items.
Oh yeah, big time bro. Most of the time probably going to be going in full combat loadout with pouches all over your kit, plus the good old assault pack. Main pack will usually be staged at an area not too far away. General population tends to think you will survive an entire war with 4 mags and a 32oz hydro flask. When their ticket is called, they’re going to be very disappointed
Ounces equals pounds……..pounds equals pain
Well I would hope in a certain scenario you would have explosives to just fight or down the whole house if it's a guaranteed battle or shoot house.
Your gun will feel like an anchor depending on weight. Mine went from 9.1 to 7.2 lbs the week after I did an 8 hour non-stop CQB rifle course in an old school.
@@Apolloneek sometimes your family is in the house
In guam we used to play "my military unit" against the local swat team, and the defender having knowledge about room clearing is actually a HUGE disadvantage for those clearing the room. They are predictable, they follow their training to a T, and do very specific things. For example the left right left right entry, where they stand outside the rooms, and how they move around the kill cone. We very often could take out their entire team by taking advantage of that. 9 times out of every 10 if the room defender knows how to clear a room, the team CLEARING the room are always at a disadvantage with one exception, element of surprise. Now if your engaging a bunch of untrained terry morons? Sure, they will be completely overwhelmed and supressed by those clearing the room. Ive taken every possible CQB course the military offered, and several in the civi world, pro tip, dont "go through the motions" like a robot. Because if your enemy also knows the tactics used by a CQB combatant you WILL lose. So we had to actually stop using tactics vs tactics in the games, because almost every time the defenders would win. But if we used the CQB tactics against teams that DONT know what to do, the attacking team would almost always win.
CQB works best with overwhelming numbers flooding the structure almost simultaneously the speed and flow overwhelming. Small teams doing predictable corner digging against a motivated one or two guys willing to die are going to take 80 percent casualties on average in the CQB meatgrinder
I agree with you fully spent years in 2nd Force Recon
This shows civilians just enough to get killed
So how did you vary it up?
@@ShadowReaper-pu2hxthey took a bird to safety and nuked the site from orbit.
So what's the basic idea when defending against these sort of CBQ tactics? Just always cover a doorway from the right side of the attackers?
@@kovona are you speaking in terms of airsoft? Or real life. Because in real life they are WAY easier to beat if you know what the tactics are and how they work, the routines they use, the "motions" they go through, and how their going to react to certain things in response to you. For example. Breaching always has the team all packed into one area, usually all facing the same way except for the rear guard, and all on one side of a hall, or against a wall so they can maximize speed and efficiency while entering. Each going in to cover their designated sweeping area. Each person that goes in has a "section" of the room they look too first to clear. The following person will always choose the opposite area to the previous etc. But lets pretend for a moment they attacked my home. You know your home best. They generally try to do home raids at times when your asleep so you cant b3 waiting for them, and heres the MAIN reason why. Just about every rifle round that exists will wizz right through an entire house like a wet paper bag. So if you were prepared and waiting, the most effective method is knowing where they are and simply firing through the walls. I have survailance that is solar powered to a LAN network, so they cant just chop my power and barge in. I would know exactly where they were at all times. And just wait for them to attempt a breach. Very rarely do they do that window bullshit, that requires a helocopter and or easy QUIET roof access. Thats mainly hollywood nonsense. My house is hardened specifically against these types of techniques. Reinforced doors that REQUIRE a blast charge, shatter proof film on the windows, and "surprises" placed under the siding on the house near entry points, triggered remotelly. I have better gear now than I ever did in the military, so if they made a single oopsy poopsy and didnt manage to get a perfect surprise drop its all staged in the house to be equiped in a couple minutes. Full armor, gas mask, choice of NVG or Thermals, helmet, peltier muffs. Hell I could pop smoke in the basement and make it hell for them. Most swat teams dont carry thermal, only NVG. NVG doesnt work in smoke. Teargas, wont work. Flashbang. Wont work. When you have your gear on they can go off a foot from you and it does nothing. I could prattle all day, but moral of the story is these tactics rely MAINLY on stealth and speed. If they are faced with direct opposition, or worse..... someone who is literally WAITING for them, they get massacred. Read up on anti ambush tactics, how guys were trained in places like mountain areas in iraq, dealing with squads are similar to that. These things are very rock paper scissors when face to face, but its heavily dependent on situation. Who got the drop on who, and who reacts in the right way the fastest. And a bit of luck. All it takes is for the rookie of their squad to have a negligent discharge into your house and it just so happens to fly through the house and hit you in the eye in your well prepared defense possition by pure luck. When going up against someone who knows what your going to do next, you have to either be better than them, or switch it up. I know whos comming into the room, which way their rifles will be pointed, which way they walk and turn, which way the next guys looking, how many stay behind, why their out there, and most importantly what they do in response to a direct threat. What they do in response to an overwhelming threat. What they do in case of man down, or squad down etc etc. Think of it this way. Its like hunting, and im leading the target. An untrained person is trailing the target. A trained person is on target. A trained person who knows exactly what your about to do next is leading the target. Best methods. Entry points are "killzones" they will avoid being in them at all costs. Try to get in close, and always try to be at an angle so not the entire squad can engage you at once. Danger close causes confusion and hesitation, the equipment they have on doesnt make them invincible. Shotguns, or anything with a high rate of fire is best here. Remember their legs, crotch, feet and arms arent protected, nor is the face. Goggles and gas masks dont stop rounds. So dont be like the dumb bad guys hidden behind a couch well within the room. Pre emptive attacks are best, but if your on defense then getting as close as possible is best. Deny access to the room if possible and keep them bunched up. Most people dont have explosives but here is where they end the conflict effectivelly. Like i said we can speculate, but unless you gave me a scenario with exact perameters I cant tell you how every situation would go down or what best to do. Train. Run courses. Get familiar with CQC. Personally im the Jerry Miculek type, I can hit 6 tiny targets before most people even got the gun out of their holster. But heres probably the best advice of all. Just dont be the guy whos on their radar to raid and you will never have to test whos better.
Just became a 1st time dad 2 weeks ago and I gotta say, Micah's advice was really eye opening and hit home. I was doing exactly what he said he did with his first. I gotta just enjoy him as he is now as much as I can because he's gonna grow up in a blink of an eye. Thanks for the dad advice Micah ❤
The problem with combat in an urban environment is that everyone underestimates how _dangerous_ it is. Unless you have training and have drilled the needed techniques for _hundreds_ of hours you _will_ make mistakes and it _will_ cost lives. I experienced this time and time in Afghanistan when supporting ANA (afghan national army) troops in the south when clearing villages close to Kabul in 2003/2004...
Well in call of duty I just spam slide/cancel and 360 no scope everything in the room. EZ
That’s only because you have a ROE, if you just grenade spam every room it’s Pretty simple
@@d3m1gawd81 based
Good to know 20 year old deployment keeps your up to par 😂 I bet you were a fobbit
Yeah the best way to conduct urban combat is don't. If you're the defender, you have to put up all kinds of defenses in order to deny ingress, and if you're the attacker, you have to deal with 360x360 sniper hides while negotiating the aforementioned field expedient defenses.
The footwork about 5 minutes in is gold. In Japanese taijutsu, that kind of walking/footwork was taught to samurai and shinobi in order to navigate around corners without telegraphing their positions with their swords sticking out of the doorway. In other words, there's nothing new under the sun. Old ninja CQB used similar movement patterns as modern CQB. Really cool and useful stuff y'all!
weeb
Why the fuck would samurai room clear like that?
@@mikeking3400 I heard it’s in order to navigate around corners without telegraphing their positions with their swords sticking out of the doorway.
It's almost like we're rediscovering how to fight to win. So much was lost when european war tactics became the norm.
@@thedeathchimera lol
I love that Lucas gets so much credit for his skill set. Kudos.
The dad advice at the end was spot on and an amazing way to top off on what was already such a valuable video!
Uvalde showed us many things and reinforced many lessons - including that you can spend all the money on gear but if you don't have the training or the mindset, you won't matter when it matters.
Exactly..
Especially the mindset.
Their mindset was to let students/staff die and arrest anyone trying to interfere.
And exposed c o r r u p t i o n, high to low.
I'd love to see a video on CQB where you show the challenges of tackling stair ways, rooms with multiple door ways and generally more challenging buildings to clear.
For those who don`t know (and a lot seem nt to know):
Urban combat / movement / operations doesn`t have to mean CQB.
CQB was invented for very specific situations. Originally hostage rescue scenarios but also "Police" operations in inhabited areas.
Strongly based on and for the US tactics and experiences in the global war of/on terror and iraq.
For example there are a bunch of very interesting videos on urban combat by John Spencer out there.
As for ignoring/bypassing cities:
What do you think happens if you cut the power and water supply to a city for lets say 6 weeks?
What happens if you include food?
Especially combined with a pandemic!?
If you are interested in the result just take a look at Bergen Belsen when the uk army took it over at the end of ww2 and combine it with what happened in the countryside west of Berlin when/short before the red army took it.
Totally agree just commented that!! Cause an open door is easy but when it’s closed or when you have to tackle stairs ways. It’s a lot different
Enlist cant give all the secrets away.....
Multi room is not difficult with a good team... stairwells are 4uck3d... for many reasons
There are other good videos here on UA-cam that cover these scenarios. Take in all the information while we still can.
It would be interesting to see a video where you go over how to defend a building against an enemy room clearing
I absolutely LOVE to see this type of content. For too long there has been a ridiculous aversion to teaching civilians how to fight. This information being disseminated to We the People, on such a massive platform, signals a shift in mindset... and that's fantastic. Keep up the GREAT work!
Enemies are watching this also
@@Capt_McNugget that was my thought exactly. Hell, new special forces CQB guys probably got some kind of thermal radar they just point at the wall and know everything in the room/ house..
@@meanmadmonkey7762 lol yea exactly like they couldn't afford FLIR. Good old Garand Thumb uses thermal just larping airsoft
I don't understand vets that hate civilians with guns. From the BRCC to a couple of the dudes from GBRS group, they have said things that show clear contempt for civilians with weapons and seem like they would love to blow them away.
@@huwhitecavebeast1972 I've shot with some ex mil guys ex cops. Not all of them are great at shooting
This could’ve been 10 hours and I’d watch it multiple times, these are some of the best videos you’ve done. Keep up the good work and training material.
A forty hour course would just about scratch the surface
Been practicing this for almost 20 years (hundreds of hours), including some training with tier ones and swat and I consider myself "not too bad" level at most.
You gotta practice 10000 hours to be good and even so unless you have 3-4 buddies that has same amount of practice as you, you can't do shit.
Best advice they give is : looking for work. That's the polite version of : find something to fuck with.
There's always some angle to cover, doors to check, corners to clear. If you stand there gun down, dick in hand, you're doing something wrong.
I really enjoy these longer and more serious types of videos that teach a lot. Great job on these videos Mike keep it up👍
Smashed the speck on the cameras tube thinking it was a bug as hard as the like button. Great video! Don’t stop making this series, you’re killing it.
Some of the best dad advice I've heard in a while there at the end. Truly based, thank you.
I agree 150% thank God that dude said that hopefully that cuts to people's souls. I've been free from pornography for about 6 years now
100%. Was already thinking about taking a course from them. That sent it home.
This level of teaching on CQB hasn't been seen since the series done by UFPRO and Eli from project geko. But obviously this is for dynamic entries. Look forward to seeing more from both this and the wildness series.
@@callsignjoker2686 i agree. Especially depending on context.
Taking elis course and good notes. Sets you up really well for understanding what clearing a room entails. And sets ypu up for working in a team dynamic.
Aaaaaaah, I still remember a few years back, when this Orion dude was trash talking as hell about Eli from Project Gecko in regards to his LP concept.
Now it is the new hotness it seems, and he is all about it, a total ripoff, with a lot of mistakes.
And what even is this Dorito concept?
If any of you guys are serious about learning CQB, with an ever evolving and proven data record, attend a class from Eli and you will be humbled.
This is all very basic and those guys are not masters at it.
Was about to say, Eli's methods - especially footwork - are on a different level compared to these guys. The whole arcing around the door with feet moving sideways compared to the direction of the barrel doesn't seem right at all. Coincidentally, Eli has a video on why this is bad form and how to actually pan a room without projecting your position to anyone inside.
@@dingusmcgringle9741 dynamic being violent? Yes. If you're not in actual cqb then you don't.
Amazing video that actually gave great things to train with vs a lot of other videos being tacticool and rushing, this is legit guys who use this and teach it. Have a very good family friend who was a special operator did this a million times and was still shot and wounded clearing a house in Iraq but the fluid movement of his team saved his life neutralizing the threat so there’s no guarantee you’ll make it out no matter how proficient you are and people need to realize that
Tons of insanely valuable information here thank you guys so freaking much for making this
First time I ever cleared a room I took 2 rounds to the chest. So I loaded the last save check point and cleared it flawlessly after throwing all 4 frags and quick saving
I was lucky, I found the hidden armor and med packs in the previous level, so I didn't need to re-load.
Thats pretty lucky. I used to be like you but then I took an arrow to the knee....
Pfft. I have plot armor. I roll into rooms and flick headshot everyone like Shroud

The lesson about information processing is so underappreciated when people learn clearing. I once had an instructor tell me while at an active shooter response class “You can’t drive faster then your headlights.” I don’t think I’ve ever heard a phrase so simple yet so detrimental.

In OIF/OEF we always used a surprise bang or Surprise grenade prior to clearing any room. We made entry and there where two RPK's focused on the door and it got messy really quick! I hate CQB but it is a necessity if you live in an urban environment. Thank you very much for taking the time to show this because so many people will hear a bump in the night and try and clear their house. If someone out there does clear their house make sure you know exactly where your family members are in that house and positively identify the threat before squeezing that trigger! Semper Fi!

Just to let everyone know the arc movement for the threshold evaluation does not work in compressed environments and tight hallways, especially if you have 1 or more men trying to cross angle cover or plate and cover, or working with a shield man. That is why teaching compressing the rifle, snapping to a threat and to take angles of the room in increments is important as to not telegraph your rifle. Very often you may not be able to arc across a doorframe. If you can learn everything with minimal room to manuever. Then when you are in more open environments everything else becomes easy, especially in regards to telegraphing and picking up other angles. Which allows the arc movement to work and to either look through or over your sights.
Some people are making comments about being in the fatal funnel, "fallacy" or the door/ doorframe isn't cover.
In regards to that, That is why you don't run right through the door unless your throwing bangs or grenades first. You can ask all the iraq Fallujah vets. They can tell you a thing about that. Everyone thought dynamic was the way to go until you run into a machine gun nest. In Iraq and Afghanistan those mud frames will definitely take up the rounds. In most modern urban buildings the frames are made up of metal and surrounded by cinder block, "not homes." If you keep your femoral and your center line behind that marginal cover, you can stop most pistol caliber rounds and possibly rifle rounds. Time and place for every tactic and manuever. Some are better then others to use at different times. You can have a right answer to a situation, but it may not be the A+ answer. You want to try to get the A+ answer as much as possible.
Golden comment right here... should be pinned.
I've had no training what so ever but try to learn incase I ever have to deal with a home invasion. I've figured out what you said about no room to arc pan. I did notice the more I compress the rifle the more I can pan without crossing the threshold so I'm not seen. I think this could be scientifically attacked. It looks like the muzzle a foot off the threshold on a corner allows me to pan quite a bit. I'd like to see a protractor or someone with actual training and expertise break this down more for people like me. Could probably even weld something up with a protractor under it and how at certain distances you can pan more degrees. If everyone were to hold there muzzle about at the same and and a inch or so off the corner as well as the rifle vertical so you don't blast dry wall. Unless they had the rifle angled and were further off the wall, whichever. I just wouldn't mind even a ten min vid of a break down of what you said with a little geometry approach.
@@chrishall1479 easiest way to show you this is have a dark room and have a flashlight inside the room you are assaulting. Weather it is a person inside the room, most helpful, or place the flashlight on a stationary object pointed towards the doorway in your direction. You will see the shadow cascading off the frame at the angle the light is shining, simulated, "bad guy". From there you can see your footwork and your muzzle to see which hits the light first or not at all if you angle and distance correctly. It is helpful when you have someone inside the room and they either put the light directly under their chin or center chest to simulate their precise field of view and they can tell you when you telegraph as well as when you see light hit a portion of you or the weapon. After practice and reps you learn at what angle and distance approximately, or method of manipulating your weapon to use so you can stay concealed as much or as long as possible until you are ready to take the next angle or have as minimal exposure as possible. Other methods are taping up the floor at a 45, 90 and 135 degree angle off each door frame. Flashlight is easiest however.
Even though ronin is not the originator of this he demonstrates it in an easier way to see and perform. Fast forward to 4:30 min. ua-cam.com/video/qNPXSnT_p2k/v-deo.html
Again to clarify ronin is demonstrating a technique that ufpro eli goes into depth on, which he has his own company project gecko. You can find project gecko also on Facebook. Cherry tactical has a different approach to telegraphing as he doesn't care because he assumes he is shooting everyone in the room. Both of them state this comes from the Israelie military but developed different methods of their own. You can now find people like warrior poet society, field craft survival and GBRS group, tactical rifleman all demonstrating different versions of this same modality of limited entry.
Totally agree, especially when you have kit on it’s a bitch. Running Sims at Swat school with LASD was the shit. Going through different structures at different speeds for multiple circs was really good training. I’m 6’0 240lbs athletic and going through hallways or tight spaces was a nightmare. 90 percent of the time I had to transition to pistol for any threat assessment from the doorway. Great comment 🤘🏽
The last couple sentences are the truth. Sometimes you can do everything 100% right and still get smoked. You can't prevent it, you can only try to put the odds in your favor.

I think I found my new place on UA-cam and my new favorite channel. 👍🏽 I love the adult humor on this channel and the fact they don’t stray away from cursing or saying whatever is on their minds. Keep it up because our citizens need this information brother 🤙🏽
This is a amazing peice of information to those who have never done room clearing. Brought me right back to doing it with Ranger BN and 1st Group.
I just did the Lead Faucet CQB Instructor course and it was a great experience. Learned a ton while having fun. Dan and his team are very knowledgeable in this field. I highly recommend getting out there and getting the training because if you don’t know what you are doing and you do it for the first time you will absolutely die. Stay hungry men.
As an old time SWAT guy,this info was great!During the day,we had no experienced pros.Great video!
Man it must be fun, I'm currently working to be in the SWAT @ 19 years old
I ran into the same problem as a corrections swat guy. I had to quit due to the embarrassment.
If you quit any kind of special forces from embarrassment you were never gonna make the cut bud
Ok, Mike keeping a side profile to the camera at the beginning of the night vision segment then turning to the camera to reveal he's wearing GPNVGs was definitely a flex.
So much more to it but the basics are amazing to understand and practice 💪🏾 love it
This may be the coolest thing I've ever seen on UA-cam.
One point on the forearm grip they keep showing: this is one of the most tiring ways of holding your rifle and you will gradually adjust down to basically a mag hold or just in front as you tire. You may want to train that hold from the beginning because if you do this for long, or start out sucking from the infil, your grip length will be according to your arm stamina anyway. I was nothing fancy, just Infantry, so sharing is caring!
I also discovered that how I gripped the fore end changed slightly the position of my shoulder joint and that affected how fast I could position my rifle and how long I could hold it.
I’ve heard many people say this. Can confirm just from dry drilling that holding the gun like an “operator” gets tiring. My support elbow will go from being more parallel with the ground to sagging down more and I’ve kinda just adapted a more middle position.
Train. Then train more.
Just an average joe that larps in the basement here. But that cool guy c clamp is gona start to suck real hard after about the 5-10 mins. Especially with the amount of crap I see on rifles
Just train more. It’s not that difficult… especially when your life depends on it. Great point on cqb from an infantry man though…🥴😂
You're a good man for doing this for the regular people. I've been ACQB instructor for about 11 years now. This is right on.
That was the most epic “Dad advice” yet! Great vid guys super interesting!
This is why I love GT's channel. He drops valuable knowledge and also knows when to have fun with silly videos.
Some might say...he's based
Mike, Thank you for doing your part to help educate us. Because of you and others around me I got fit and train. I wear my kit and I'm working hard to not be a liability to those around me. It's inspired my children and drawn respect from my wife.
Thank you for your encouragement and inspiration to everyday men who are capable of far more than they realize.
Real man right there, well done brother👍
The stuff they say here is exactly what I’ve learned in the Navy, glad to see that we are up to date in some areas
Navy? 😂
Go update your nfaas
@@johngallagher3732 Navy's training is not something to laugh at I was in myself in 2020 and it wasn't that much of a joke, they also overhauled their training to 13 weeks similar to the marines instead of 8 weeks. They don't hand you your phone at all until after you leave RTC regardless if you quit or because of medical or you graduated unlike apparently the army now. RDC's weren't very soft far from it the card system gets a lot of laughs but I have seen P-day recruits black carded and its relentless many would break bones some couldn't even restart after it healed because it shattered and they had to wait a year or two to heal enough to be sent home for and then given surgery to usually replace with a rod.
Others are 4-6 months out and so on. So while I use to laugh about how easy basic was going to be. I can promise they pulled no punches. The only thing I didn't see happen was manhandling recruits outside of one because for some reason that insane kid kept starting fights and kept getting his ass beat at that. RDC's were definitely not kind to him. Another I watched get thrown out of his rack and then held until MP arrived kid was crazy.
For how much we love to laugh at different branches the navy's basic is far from easy but it's a ton of fun at the same time. PT tests sure were definitely easier. 1.5 miles in 8-9 minutes which if you run at all shouldn't be hard to complete that should be a bit above average for a normal kid anyone who has ran cross country or track easily would pass that. It's based on age so the younger recruits had a bit harder time than those of us a couple years older but it wasn't a massive difference. They changed situps for a 1.5 minute plank to pass and most of us found that even with minimal core training you could go 3-5 minutes by a number of methods that wouldn't fail you. Because you had to have a standard plank form but by tightening and clenching your ass cheeks you can usually go double to many times above 1.5 minutes. Ah the gallery yeah eating was dependent on how fast you got your food, those at the front had more time to eat than others. Talking was a big no you'd lose your ability to eat by talking at all. Those at the back maybe got 5 minutes and some days you had a minute or two to eat.
Battle stations you have to pass before graduation and it's the most fun you'll ever have....long as you don't mind eating one meal and don't sleep for I think it was 48 hours but it may have only been 24 hours and it's straight through in numerous tests as if you were on a ship for a plethora of scenarios and after that you don't sleep so I think battle stations is 24 hours and then its another 24 with no sleep though that varied for us it was a full 48 hours... other divisions may have gotten 4-6 hours of rest.
There's no stress cards btw unlike again with the army.
I also believe the whole point of the 13 weeks was to expand upon hand to hand combat firefighting and other schools since RDCs do act as babysitters up until week 2-3 where if your division figures its shit out you basically have it much easier. Watches were generally much shorter about 2-4 hours per watch with a couple times at 8 hours and during battle stations to after could be a 12-24 hour watch.
@@johngallagher3732Navy has VBSS and quite a few other tactical response type deals outside of SW.
Thanks, man. Your Urban Combat Survival tips are Really Cool. Love it.
The ending is legit the best I've ever seen on this channel. Please do more work with Orion Training Group in the near future.
This was my most underdeveloped skill as an infantryman. When GT was saying it takes years of training with one team to be proficient he wasn’t kidding. Military or civilian; grunt or POG-don’t underestimate how hard this is.
Thanks for watching and commenting , ❤ you have been randomly selected among winner for today, hit me up via the digits above to claim prize.
No kidding.
I got a week at the old UWC with my squad before deploying.
Clearly not enough to be any use to the 11B's we were supporting.
Funny thing though, people think I was some kind of Delta Force commando when playing Insurgency Sandstorm.
HaHa!!
I was very very fortunate to be attached with 2nd recon on a MEU. They taught us a TON of CQB
“Mega based”. Loved that. This video was great. Im very entry level doing this in Basic and MOS and through the years but there’s always more to learn.
Way things are headed, information like this is becoming more prescient by the day. It's good to have people willing to put this out there for noobs like myself to learn from.
Stick to the topic and be respectful.
Just who the fuck do you think you will be fighting?
If a fool can learn, it means a criminal can do it easily.
If students learn... a terrible result
Great comment and very true.
I love this series so much for all of the knowledge bombs that Garand Thumb drops on us, especially for those that don't have nearly as much experience as him
Best CQB video I’ve seen on UA-cam! Thank you!
Congrats for the amazing content, a lot of knowledge about CQB in this video, Thanks guys!!
I remember training for months straight, prepping for live fires just practicing day in and day out everyday. It takes that long to become efficient, and even when you are proficient, you still need to practice to keep that rust off. Even on the day of live fires we are practicing up until it was our turn. You can never train enough, always be looking to improve.
I'm form Germany and I love this series of you - I laugh so much with you and also like to learn basics and training methods about the american military service and system and their including knowledge. CQB is a big theme and there is so much to teach about - its dangerous in all ways. I'm curious for next coming videos and appreciate those types. Thanks man and grand thumb up for you. ✌🤜🤛

These series are great. Keep them up!
Impeccable advice at the end this time. God bless.
I love CQB videos, Mike Glover has one of my favorites on 1 man CQB(Because unfortunately you don’t have trained team members on your six 24/7)It’s great information for people who have not been formally trained by the government, but have the desire to learn and understand these techniques… Great video.
Mike and fieldcraft survival are definitely worth checking out... after this video, of course.
@@aaronlee2371 I took one of their classes, instructor didn't feel like coming so his assistant, some random Miami swat douche, filled in and it sucked ass. he ran out of ideas halfway through so he just had us mag-dumping for no reason in the middle of the ammo shortage of 2020. 10/10 would avoid giving him more money.
@@Eisernkreuz I've heard tons of stuff like this about their training. Subpar for the cost etc
You can't clear a building on your own.
@@TackJorrance no, you can’t. You can search a building alone, but can’t clear it.

Awesome video!! Love the content and great explanation with a bunch of important info!
these guys are the shit! he almost lost me when he said "it seems self explanatory" but when he followed up with "is that why we're doing a video?" I was back in it. great humor. Exactly the kind of presentation style that keeps me locked in
I would like to see a video on urban scavenging, like getting safe water, determining suitable shelter, things like that.
He covered a lot of that in the first urban survival video
Good idea mate, a lot of urban survival provides a lot of those things but shelter and storage should really be covered.
Good instruction for sure, definitely things covered here were crucial. The first person perspectives also gave better understanding and importance to angels involved. 14:37 was hilarious on a side note. That line produced that triple character break out of nowhere. Bounced back though, too funny!
I just watched a video you did about Camo and you touched on keeping your night vision dimmed down to just enough to use it. This really shows what you was talking about. Your eyes are lit up way more then the rest of the fellas in this video when you turn your head.
So far the best Dad advise put out by a Garand Thumb Guest. 💯
Agreed
Awesome content! Now do a video for the express purpose of countering and disrupting those room clearing tactics. If you’re on the other side of the door from one of those teams what can you do to protect yourself from those tactics? A family member of mine in Guatemala stopped an entire team with caltrops, spike pits, wasps, and something to do with a volleyball net “impregnated” with large treble hooks. The team was not law enforcement fyi.

Good comment. You might not be the one doing the clearing in an engagement...
@@nono-jj9rr They are very good for solving from the outside as well as the inside.
i practiced cqb this weekend alot more harder on ur own but thanks to u guys i knew more or less how to handle it , practice make perfect thanks garand thumb for everything i really appreciate the effort u do , my name is dayne from South africa
Top tier clearing instruction and dad advice 👌👌
These boots on the ground lessons and examples are miles above your usual monologues at the range in terms of educational content. Great work
The footwork bit is super important and i love the attention to detail they give it here. I also really enjoyed the weapon manipulation bit - I prefer 14.5" barrels so seeing ways to work around the extra length when maneuvering in CQB is always refreshing to see rather than just seeing people only using 10.5" barrels.
One thing I wanna say about this series… please make more
Absolutely valuable info and training.
Plus you guys are hilarious
Toss a frag before entering a building, learned that in the beginning of the GWOT. Also, if they play dead, shoot 'em in the face so you know they aren't suffering, and can't shoot. Much love ;-) Thanks for the videos, super informative.
I took my first CQB class last week; never got any of it in the Army. We used the Mantis Blackbeard system and it was highly informative. There is a shoot house that uses UTM, airsoft, or lasers to deliver a ton of reps at a variety of price points. This laser class was only $100 and extremely informative with tons of practice reps. Luckily I have a readiness group in my neighborhood and will be taking my squad here to do more reps, since the shoot house is only 10 min from my house and always changing configurations
What and where is this shoot house? Sounds neat.
@@rickyricardo5441 it's in eastern Washington state
@@Paintplayer1 Name of facility?
@@rickyricardo5441 defensive action center
@@Paintplayer1 Awesome looking place. Thanks for sharing.
Played paintball for years, then airsoft , I know it's not the same but it does teach you basics of room and building clearing because after you have been shot with a paintball from only a couple feet away you learn pretty quick how to do things better, it can sting quite a bit and even hurt pretty good sometimes lol , I've talked about this with my buddies before we all came to the same consensus that if we could help it we would not want to be in that situation with real firearms if we can help it,
Its not the best but it is one of the only ways to practice the moving through a hostile building against other people especially if players take it seriously
Paintballs hurt especially frozen ones
Well coordinated room clearing is so beautiful
Best 30 minutes of my life. Thank you for teaching me room clearing in a way that I can actually understand it, and thank you for being the first people I've actually seen talk about corner entry rooms. Please do more Urban survival training.
Wholesome, informative, necessary. 10/10
One of the best advice he could give ….. at the end. 🙏🏻
For us followers from Europe this is pure gold!
Can I just say, I absolutely love these videos. As someone with no military experience, having exposure to your thought processes and tactics is awesome. As much as I hope I will never have to be in this situation, as a man you SHOULD be ready if you do...
Best video yet! Very educational! This is my style!
Love these series!!! Keep them coming pls!
Dad advice is a fun idea
One of the best GT videos yet. I love all the content, but these training videos have got to be some of the most valuable ones out there.
Speaking as a member of a regional tac team for a statewide agency, I will say that unless you put in reps day after day, week after week, month after month, and think about these things even when you aren’t training…you’re gonna have a bad time. My current team have only been training together for a year and we are just now getting that N*Sync vibe. Stay righteous, safe, and dangerous folks.
Make sure you get the right address first
Good intel is paramount fo sho, whether you’re defending your own home, serving warrants, or taking assets in a post-apocalyptic urban environment.
@@GeauxRussGeaux Yeah, but you tier one dropouts who get to play Navy SEAL with your local SD/PD still can't figure that out
@@jasonm949 Show em how it's done bro.
@@ajr6288 Not my monkey, not my circus any more. Deal.
I never thought I'd be being taught urban survival by Mr. Flaversham. I love it.
Another takeaway from this:
Avoid situations where you have to defend a room. There are a lot of well trained people and there's a lot of good information out there for free.
I would rather defend a room than clear one
Be wary of surprise grenades.
@@Opsgermanysoldier yeah and this is a great video on room clearing but they did not go over booby traps or trip wires at all. and if you're assaulting someone who is a little more serious about their security then you should expect to encounter all manners of fuck your day up that you will never see coming. all in all assaulting a building is an ordeal of extreme risk and whatever you're going in there for better be damn worth it.
@@Opsgermanysoldier same, unless the enemy can use grenades or something
but maybe the same can be said in reverse with booby traps
@@shoyupacket5572 So....JDAM the building?
This is possibly the best training and skill video you've ever put together. These SMEs you've brought on board are amazing. Excellent information and excellent presentation of it. I hope you and these guys do more of these.
Wow, that's brilliant. So much information
Again like all my other comments. I really enjoy these videos very much. I learn something new on each one. Or I may just open my mind to something else. Thanks and Marry Christmas
Been looking forward to this series returning. All the videos from rifle setup, to basic pack setup, now training/clearing. I like where it's going and I honestly don't think you can ever do too much in this series. It might be a bit odd and maybe you could find a better real world place, but there are a ton of paintball parks around with full on "cities" and stuff and it would be cool to see you do a scenario where you're a survivalist just trying to make it through or around the place, maybe trying to get into a store for some snacks and back out.
