The most feared situation for any military or Special Forces unit is a Close Quarters Battle(CQB). The reason is because there are campers, snipers, and many other hazards that await them in an enclosed facility. It takes a well trained and practiced team to execute a successful Counter Terrorist(CT) Operation. Some of the most well known military units known for CT Ops are Delta, SEAL Team Six(now DevGroup), Special Air Service, and lately Marine Force Recon. All of these units train harder than any other unit in existence. The reason is obvious, the engage in CT Ops, they need to know how to operate and be successful.
<p>
No CQB Op is the same, they do however have common characteristics. Usually there are campers, or a person who chooses a place to hide out and wait for you to engage them. Early Warning Systems(EWS) are also common. The major threats are always the same however. If you are approaching a building or facility which has hostile enemy personnel(Tangos) inside, unless you are very stealthy, you almost have to expect to take fire. Snipers are also a common threat in a CQB situation. All of these threats can be remedied however, with the correct tactics.
<p>
The hardest obstacle to overcome is stealth. Most of the time, the tangos will know your entry point and will base their defensive formation to defend against that entry point. Which brings up the next formidable obstacle. They have some idea where you are or will be, you only know their general vicinity. That gives the tangos a great advantage over you. You must consider this before formulating a plan of action.
<p>
The mentality you want to have when facing a CQB is to operate swift, silent, and "deadly." Swift and efficient movement, combined with a level head and stealth is the best offense against a hazardous situation. If you are a commander of a team, you must remember that. Make sure that your team operates under those conditions.
