Close Quarters Battle (CQB) or close quarters combat (CQC) is a type of fighting in which small units engage the enemy with personal weapons at very short range, even to the point of hand-to-hand combat. In the typical CQB scenario, the attackers try a very fast, violent takeover of a vehicle or structure controlled by the defenders, who usually have no easy way to withdraw. Because enemies, hostages/civilians, and fellow operators can be closely intermingled, CQB demands a rapid assault and a precise application of lethal force. The operators need great proficiency with their weapons, but also the ability to make split-second decisions in order to limit friendly casualties.

Criminals sometimes use CQB techniques, such as in an armed robbery or jailbreak, but most of the terminology comes from training used to prepare soldiers, police, and other authorities. Therefore, much CQB material is written from the perspective of the "good guys" who must break into the stronghold where the "bad guys" have barricaded themselves.

Although there is considerable overlap, CQB is not synonymous with urban warfare, now sometimes known by the military acronyms MOUT (military operations on urban terrain),FIBUA (fighting in built-up areas) or OBUA (Operations in Built Up Areas) in the West. Urban warfare is a much larger field, including logistics and the role of crew-served weapons like heavy machine guns, mortars, and mounted grenade launchers, as well as armor and air support. In CQB, the emphasis is on small infantry units using light, compact weapons that one man can carry and use easily in tight spaces, such as submachine guns, shotguns, pistols and even knives.

With attitudes toward civil service on decline, I think these police officers and their training shared through that 'blue wall of silence' may be setting the stage in the very near future for organized gangs to smash through neighborhoods instead of a just an isolated house.

We all heard of a police officers usually retired whose weapon falling into the wrong hands, how about these techniques falling into the wrong mind.

We have in the States a very large increase or spike in home invasions. For the most part they are organized and they occur in close quarters.

You may have provided something of peculiarity...

Thanks

your seeing the future of warfare played out on the streets of iraq.

a world where the old accepted norms of fighting internatioonal wars for resources is now in the past. at lesat it is when multinatuionals owning everything.

business takeovers are now running parrallel with wars of agrresion perpetuated by governments that are little more than tools of industry. acting for or on behalf of muiltinationals.
