Close Quarter Battle (CQB)

Close Quarter Battle (CQB) refers to combat situations that occur at very short ranges, typically inside buildings, rooms, or confined spaces. It involves highly specialized tactics, weapons, and training to quickly and efficiently neutralize threats while minimizing risks to oneself and allies. CQB emphasizes precision, agility, and communication, often requiring dynamic movements and quick decision-making. It is used by military, law enforcement, and security teams during hostage rescue, door breaches, or urban combat. The focus is on control and speed in intense, close-quarters environments to achieve mission success safely.
