Priciples of Airsoft Combat

1. Surprise is the key to a successful assault at close quarters. The fire team
or squad c1earing the room must achieve surprise, if only for seconds, by
deceiving, distracting, or startling the enemy. Sometimes stun or flash
grenades may be used to achieve surprise. These are more effective against a non-alert, poorly trained enemy than against alert, well-trained soldiers.

2. Speed provides a measure of security to the clearing unit. Speed lets soldiers use the first few vital seconds provided by surprise to their maximum advantage. In close quarters combat, speed does not mean incautious haste. It can best be described as “carefull hurry.”

3. Controlled violent action eliminates or neutralizes the enemy while
giving him the least chance of inflicting friendly casualties. Controlled violent action is not limited to the application of firepower only. It also involves a soldier mind-set of complete domination.

Each of the principles of close quarters combat has a synergistic relationship
to the others. Controlled violence coupled with speed increases surprise.
Hence, successful surprise allows increased speed

The Fundamentals of Close Quarters Combat:

The ten fundamentals of close quarters combat address actions soldiers take
while moving along confined corridors to the room to be cleared, while
preparing to enter the room, during room entry and target engagement, and
after contact. Team members must—

1. Move tactically and silently while securing the corridors to the room to
be cleared. Carry only the minimum amount of equipment. Rucksacks and
loose items carried by soldiers tire them and slow their pace, and cause noise.

2. Arrive undetected at the entry to the room in the correct order of
entrance, prepared to enter on a single command.

3. Enter quickly and dominate the room. Move immediately to positions
that allow complete control of the room and provide unobstructed fields of
fire.

4. Eliminate all enemy within the room by the use of fast, accurate, and
discriminating fires.

5. Gain and maintain immediate control of the situation and all personnel
in the room.

6. Confirm whether enemy casualties are wounded or dead. Disarm and
segregate the wounded. Search all enemy casualties.

7. Immediately perform a cursory search of the room. Determine if a
detailed search is required.

8. Maintain security at all times and be prepared to react to more enemy
contact at any moment. Do not neglect rear security.


hekhek..alam na po sigurado ito ng mga veterans..para lang po sa mga new new newbies tulad ko po...add po sana kayo ng mga tips po ninyo for combat tactics, etc. Pangpa-add na rin sa content ng BAG site.

Tactical actions at & upon entering the point of entry
Actions outside the point of entry must be quick and well rehearsed. The doorway or breach point is a dangerous position. The clearing team is focused on entry and could be surprised by an enemy appearing unexpectedly in the corridor.

A. Clearing team members’ positions relative to the door are important as are their weapons’ carry positions. Team members stand as close to the entry point as possible, staying in a crouched position. They hold their weapons either in the high-carry or the low-carry position. They ensure the muzzle is
not pointed at another team member.

B. All team members must signal one another that they are prepared before the team enters the room. The last man taps or squeezes the arm of the man in front of him, and each one passes this signal along. Team members avoid the use of a verbal signal, which may alert the enemy and destroy the element of surprise.

C. All individual equipment that is carried must be selected carefully and prepared properly to ensure that it is quiet and not cumbersome. Essential items only should be carried during close quarters combat. Protective vests and helmets should be worn by all team members. Additional protective equipment, such as gloves, kneepads, or goggles, may be worn, depending on
the situation and the unit’s level of training.

The entire team should enter the room as quickly and as smoothly as possible and clear the doorway immediately.

A. The door is the focal point of anyone in the room. It is known as the “fatal funnel,” because it focuses attention at the precise point where the individual team members are the most vulnerable. Moving into the room quickly reduces the chance that anyone will be hit by enemy fire directed at the doorway.

B. On the signal to go, the clearing team moves through the door quickly and takes up positions inside the room that allow it to completely dominate the room and eliminate the threat. Team members stop movement only after they have cleared the door and reached their designated point of domination.


(1) The first man to enter moves in as straight a line as possible toward the comer for which he is responsible. He may then turn and move deep into the far corner of the room. The depth of his movement is determined by the size of the robin, any obstacles in the room such as furniture, and by the number and location of enemy and noncombatants in the room.


(2) The second man enters and moves toward the corner in the opposite direction, following the wall, but not directly against it.


(3) The number 3 man (team leader) buttonhooks inside the room at least 1 meter from the door, but between the number 1 man and the door.


(4) The squad leader can either use the number 4 man (normally the SAW gunner) as rear security at the breach site, or he can have him enter with the
remainder of the team. If he enters, the number 4 man moves in the direction of the number 2 man and buttonhooks in the same way between the number 2 man and the door.

C. To make close quarters combat techniques work, each member of the team must know his sector of fire and how his sector overlaps and links with the sectors of the other team members. Team members do not move to the point of domination and then engage their targets. They engage targets as they
move to their designated point. However, engagements must not slow movement to their points of domination. Team members may shoot from as short a range as 1 to 2 inches. They engage the most immediate enemy threats first. Examples of immediate threats are enemy personnel who—

* Are armed and prepared to return fire immediately.
* Block movement to the position of domination.
* Are within arm’s reach of a clearing team member.
* Are within 3 to 5 feet of the breach point.

D. Each clearing team member has a designated sector of fire that is unique to him initially but expands to overlap sectors of the other team members.

(1) The number 1 and number 2 men are initially concerned with the area along the wall on either side of the door or entry point. This area is in their path of movement, and it is their primary sector of fire. Their alternate sector of fire is
the wall that they are moving toward, sweeping back to the far corner.

(2) The number 3 and number 4 men start at the center of the wall opposite their point of entry and sweep to the left if moving toward the left, or to the right if moving toward the right. They stop short of their respective team member (either
the number 1 man or the number 2 man).

E. While the team members move toward their points of domination, they engage all targets in their sector. Team members must exercise fire control and discriminate
between hostile and non combatant occupants of the room. Shooting is done without stopping, using reflexive shooting techniques. Because the soldiers are moving and
shooting at the same time, they must move using careful hurry. They do not rush with total disregard for any obstacles.

Sorry..spamming na ito. Naka confine kasi ako dito bahay, complete bed rest kay boredom is inescapable..

Dang! That is one long article!
May squad leader na ba tayo?

But, seriously, it's an interesting read. However, I hope we can coordinate our movements better in games. Right now, we're usually trying to get a feel of the game.

Kelan rin kaya ako gagaling?

great article.. very informative... btw, i dont think this will be conisdered as spamming coz of the content.

nice, good job ma'am zephyr!

btw, are you sick or something?... must be.. anyway, get well soon! coz the weekend is fast approaching.

Asus Anong "COZ THE WEEKEND IS FAST APPROACHING"?? Eh Hindi Ka Nga Naglaro Nung Linggo Eh.

Wahaha Tumamabay Ka Lang Naman Dun Eh. Ahihihi Peace Fafi.

remember teamwork rin kelangan sa CQB/CQC... always remember when there is a defend game...always supress fire to the opfor while your team mates are moving for cover or doing flanking manuever..similar also to field

sana mpraktis ntin to pag CQB kasi ms mgnda ng actual natin gngwa para matuto tau share nyo yn mam pgnasa diplo tau ha...slmat

team work! tama yan - sige spam squad, practice na tayo mag move as a team sa next game Ü hehehe

Cool!

Defense:

Ah, yes, generally the most boring part for most people, for often the enemy will never come. However, when they do, a poorly organized and unaware force is easily overtaken and a valuable objective is lost.
When setting up a defensive position keep several things in mind:

1. Your first line should never be your last line.
When defending an area, there are generally several areas in which to take cover. Maybe some trees up front, with foxholes further in, or whatever the case is. Now it may be tempting to start your defense at the fox holes, but this is a poor idea. Start behind the trees. They do not offer as much cover but if you have to, you can fall back to the fox holes. Starting out at the fox holes or other central defense means the OpFor has a smaller area to gain control of.

2. 360 Coverage.
Pretty much obvious. I feel no example is needed. An open flank is a front waiting to be opened. Ensure you have guns keeping watch all around, no matter how dull things are getting.

3.Defensive Ambushes
When engaged in a siege, the assaulting team is rarely aware of their rear flank. A small unit in concealment on the exterior of your perimeter can be helpful. A quick reaction force that can flank an enemy when they begin the assault. Pinning them from the front and rear, breaking offensive capability.

4. Know when to fire
If your prone behind a tree watching an area, do not fire the moment an enemy is spotted, instead, wait for him and others to draw closer so a burst can take out several attackers.

5. Use of SAWs.
SAWs are excellent for both defense and offense. In defense, never cluster
them. Try and put one at each cardinal direction. If you don't have that many, keep them ready to redeploy to wherever an assault is. But never cluster them so in the event a position is over run, not all your ROF is lost.

6. Hold at all costs.
Never give up. If you're the last man, make the place as hard to take as possible. Making it seem like there are others. The objective isn't lost until your whole team is dead.


Offense

Advance, advance, advance.

Oftentimes an offense is a cluster of people spraying a location from far away. These become long and drawn out, with no clear victor in the end, unless the assaulting team moves to take some ground.

The 3-5 second rush. A military tactic that involves rushing from one point of cover to another in a time so short the enemy cannot draw a bead on you. Highly effective for advancing.

2. Using the enemies cover
Using the defense positions the enemy neglected to use.

3. Flanks
New players and even the salty guys tend to ignore one of their flanks from time to time. An unguarded flank is the worst enemy to any defense. Even one player can use an unguarded flank to deadly effect. So find a flank, and keep the enemy thinking your assault is coming from elsewhere.

4. Assault Formation
When assaulting, try to do so in a line. It covers a larger area, and is effective for advancing forward.

mam Zephyr, try natin gawin ito during our week end games. make sure to remember what you have posted here. il assign you to be one of the squad leaders
