Team SOP - CQB Communication

Verbal Comms

On {Me, You}

I want you to come stack up with me, or Im stacking up with you. Think of an example like moving/move in bounding. "On me (come ot me), On you (moves to you)".

With {Me, You}

Indicate you're ready to do something, e.g. exit room into hallway. Example, stacked up on door, peeking into hallway. "With me (Im ready to exit), With you (letting 1-man know ready to go)".

Block {Left, Right}

Indicate security needs to be posted/taken in the direction. Could be opposing rooms and you want someone to post security left, you call "block left", and likely paired with "tackle right" (could also be implied).

Tackle {Left, Right}

Indicate the direction you intend to "take" or travel. With the opposing rooms example, or if single room on a side, saying "tackle left" indicates you are going to make entry on left side.

Barricade

Given something like a T intersection in a hallway, or perhaps opposing rooms, calling "barricade" indicates 1-man and 2-man are going to post up security and hold likely left and right. This could be to gather information on which direction to go.

Open Door {Left, Right}

Provide information to your team that you see an open door in a given direction.

Closed Door {Left, Right}

Similar to open door, except closed door in a given direction.

Hallway {Left, Right}

Indicate to your team that you have a hallway in a given direction.
