(i) Four-Man Stack: example (Figures 14-5-1 through 14-5-9). To be effective, team members are numbered #1 through #4. The #1 man must act the quickest and make immediate decisions. The #1 Man enters the room eliminating the immediate threat and has the option of moving left or right, moving to one of two corners. His ability to move to a corner will be determined by obstacles, size of the room, and the enemy situation. As he enters through the entry point, he can visually check one of the corners and determine if there is an immediate threat. If there is a threat he moves to the threat, eliminating it as he moves to the corner. If no immediate threat exists in the first corner, he should consider "button-hooking" to the other corner to avoid being shot in the back. The #2 Man moves along the wall in the opposite direction of the #1 Man. Both the #1 and #2 Man clear the breach point, their immediate threat areas all while moving to their dominating corner in the room. The #3 Man goes the opposite direction of the #2 Man inside the room and at least one meter from the door. The #4 Man moves in the opposite direction of the #3 Man. All team members stop when they have cleared the door and have reached their point of domination within the room. NOTE: All team members must be prepared to perform the duties of all positions (#1-4) after initial room is cleared. All team members must be cross trained in each position. NOTE: Room clearing procedures are techniques or SOPs and not doctrine. Rangers are encouraged to establish SOPs when they get to their units. However, SOPs for the urban environment need to be well thought out, and may not fit all conditions that the force may encounter. For example, ROE will impact the munitions employed and techniques utilized during urban clearing operations. (j) Sectors of Fire. The number one man enters and goes left or right based on immediate threat location. The number two man goes the opposite direction of the number one man and engages all targets of opportunity in his sector. These actions normally result in the room being “divided” in half and 100% of the room being scanned except for the upper levels. The number three man enters, clears the fatal funnel to the left or the right, and primarily scans overhead areas. The number four man enters and goes opposite the number three man and continues to provide rear security as the situation dictates. (k) Locking Down the Room. (1) Control the situation within the room. (2) Use clear, concise arm and had signals. Voice commands should be kept to a minimum to reduce the amount of confusion and to prevent the enemy (which may be in the next room) from discerning what is going on. This enhances the opportunity for surprise and allows the assault force the opportunity to detect any approaching force. (3) Physically and psychologically dominate. (4) Establish security / report status. (5) Cursory search of the room to include the ceiling (3 Dimensional Fight). - 14-8
- (6) Identify the dead using reflexive response techniques (Eye thump method). (7) Search the room for PIR, precious cargo as per the mission and time available. (8) Evacuate personnel. (9) Mark room clear (chemlights, engineer tape, chalk, paint, VS-17 panels, etc.). This space intentionally left blank for notes. 14-9
