Okay, a guy at work ( the same one that doesnt see a need for civvies and black rifles) and I were discussing building entry. I only have a couple classes long ago as an AF SP, in other words not more than a few hours. He's former Army MP and supposedly went to a school on breaching and dynamic entry.
My position: The breacher is on the lock side of the door, entry team on the hinge side. Breacher opens door, drops tool and takes up weapon while the entry guys go in and the breacher follows.
His position: Breacher and entry guys on the same side, breacher opens door and team goes around him then he follows.
Who's got this thing right?
I dont think the latter makes any sense, but my training was minimal and 19 years ago.
He does have some info in any case, he explained accurately the 3 types of entry
Yes it is pointless to argue but it keeps us awake on long graveyard shifts
