Close Quarters Battle

Close Quarters Battle (CQB) refers to combat that occurs at very short ranges, typically within buildings, urban areas, or confined spaces. It involves direct engagements where combatants are often in close proximity, requiring swift, decisive actions and specialized tactics. CQB emphasizes speed, surprise, and control, as well as the use of handguns and rifles in tight environments. Military and law enforcement units train extensively for CQB to effectively handle hostage situations, room clearing, and urban warfare, ensuring both efficiency and safety in high-stress scenarios. The goal is to neutralize threats quickly while minimizing risk to bystanders.
