Where enemy forces may be concentrated and the presence of noncombatants is highly unlikely(aka call of duty) , the assault team can precede their entry by throwing a fragmentation or concussion grenade into the room, followed by bursts of automatic small-arms fire by the number one man as he enters.
The first man (rifleman), enters the room and eliminates the immediate threat. He has the option of going left or right, normally moving along the path of least resistance to one of two corners. When using a doorway as the point of entry, the path of least resistance is determined initially based on the way the door opens; if the door opens inward he plans to move away from the hinges. If the door opens outward, he plans to move toward the hinged side. Upon entering, the size of the room, enemy situation, and furniture or other obstacles that hinder or channel movement become factors that influence the number1 man's direction of movement.
The direction each man moves in should not be preplanned unless the exact room layout is known. Each man should go in a direction opposite the man in front of him Every team member must know the sectors and duties of each position.
As the first man goes through the entry point, he can usually see into the far corner of the room. He eliminates any immediate threat and continues to move along the wall if possible and to the first corner, where he assumes a position of domination facing into the room
The most important thing when breaking the threshold of a door is to give attention to any immediate threat to your 12 oclock then proceed to dig yoru corners and your 3 and 9. THESE THINGS ARE LIFE OR DEATH.
Clearing Stairwells and Staircases. Stairwells and staircases are comparable to doorways in that they create a fatal funnel; however, the danger is intensified by the three-dimensional aspect of additional landings. The ability of the squad or team to conduct the movement depends upon which direction they are traveling and the layout of the stairs. Regardless, the clearing technique follows a basic format:
-The squad leader designates an assault element to clear the stairs.
-The squad or team maintains 360-degree, three-dimensional security in the vicinity of the stairs.
-The squad leader then directs the assault team to locate, mark, bypass and or clear any obstacles or booby traps that may be blocking access to the stairs.(c4, CLAYMORES Ect)
-The assault element moves up (or down) the stairways by using either the two-, three-, or four-man flow technique, providing overwatch up and down the stairs while moving. The three-man variation is preferred
MYSELF AND SPY ARE BIG ON THIS BUT COMMUNICATION IT WILL KEEP BLUE ON BLUE FROM HAPPENING

3 rules to live by
1. DID I HIT HIM
2. IS HE DOWN (AKA LAST STAND, FINAL STAND BS)
3. STATUS OF MY WEAPON ( RELOADING, OUT OF AMMO)
MAYBE ALL THIS IS MUMBO JUMBO AND MAYBE MYSELF AND SPY ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO UNDERSTAND BUT SOMEDAY I WOULD LIKE TO GET A SQUAD ON THIS LEVEL
