In this video, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of two different methods of entry. This is a short video, we don’t go into all the nitty gritty…
[ad_1]

In this article, we compare the CQB entry tactics of Crisscross and Heavy Side to determine their strengths and weaknesses.

Crisscross Tactic

The Crisscross tactic involves two team members crossing paths as they enter a room from opposite sides, providing maximum coverage and minimizing the risk of friendly fire.

Heavy Side Tactic

The Heavy Side tactic involves one team member acting as the “heavy” and taking the lead in entering a room, while the other team member provides support from behind.

Comparison

We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each tactic, including effectiveness, speed, and safety considerations.

Conclusion

Based on our analysis, both tactics have their merits and may be suitable for different scenarios and team compositions. It is important for tactical teams to train in both tactics and be able to adapt based on the specific situation they encounter.

FAQs

  • Which tactic is more effective in small rooms?
  • How should teams decide which tactic to use in a given situation?
  • What are some common mistakes to avoid when using these tactics?

    My very honest opinion and the way we do it usually:
    1) both entry methodologies are efficient however they are always situational so you need a strong decision factor
    2) pointman is king, he initiates, he decides he takes point but never alone
    3) the pointman decision may come as an instant reaction or as a clearing process, regardless, he needs the team to react promptly
    4) in order to maintain cohesive reactions, exercise while cycling the role of pointman to all team members
    5) if the action, breach, entry or engagement starts, the team movement and power needs to be concentrated, instant and systematically executed.
    6) in force on force we try to obtain 2 things, protection for our teammates as we go in, threat suppression and speed. If we get hit due to bad timing, reaction, positioning or angles its a fail and we restart. If we get hit while covering a team member and he subsequently eliminates the threat afterwards its a pass, if we manage well enough to breach and enter with no casualties, we get to rest a bit 😁.

    We like the investment put into this video, scenario and training. Very well done 👍

    He touched his butt

    I've done criss cross and heavy side during force on force and live fire/hostage rescue training. They both can work smoothly. It's not hard. Good job.

    Actually watch the timer, it’s manipulated

  12. @frankcastle7777 10 months ago

    I train a lot and am very open minded of different methods of completing a task infront of you. I have to say this dude explains movement, time spent to get work done, and the pros vs cons of the actions the team makes is the best. So GOD BLESS you and your crew because LE Officers like me are getting schooled well.

    Bro the totally unnecessary but perfectly executed butt grab after talking about proximity in the stack killed me

  14. @InnerPeace1972 10 months ago

    I notice no anchoring was done on the crisscross. It’s used to speed up your entry and minimize slippage. Go video though.

    Everything was going well until that ass grab!!! WTF

  17. @alexlaroque5108 10 months ago

    A big factor to consider when deciding on the entry techniques is if you're dealing with balistic walls or not.

  18. @datajahad 10 months ago

    Anybody else notice the timer while doing button hook goes from being .23 to one second instantly? Or is that just me?

  19. @jakecoen 10 months ago

    Actually!…. Just kidding. 😉 Great content as always guys.

  20. @maineoutdoorsman677 10 months ago

    Thoughts on applying “Masker” technique?

  22. @col.strayga1389 10 months ago

    I've been saying for over 20 years button hook is the least preferable option. Only used if the time table doesn't permit. As opfor I've lost count of how many guys have been hit before they can take a shot. Criss-cross high low has been fastest to get two guns point in their points of domination.

  23. @coolbreezetg6 10 months ago

    the way we're taught is that the area with higher threat is what is attacked first. So if the area to the right is the area where there's the higher chance of finding threat then in crisscross the guy on left of door is the one going in first (if we don't use bottonhook)

  24. @unknownsigma99 10 months ago

    I can’t get over that the rifle is almost as tall as that man

    Ahh shooting through drywall.

  26. @dutchboy9273 10 months ago

    Good stuff, but your timer should start when the first operator breaks the VISUAL frame of the door. It should start when the hostile in the room has visual conformation of your presence.
