Breach and clear

Breach and clear

Breach and Clear is a tactical name for a common SWAT [US] maneuver. It is used when infiltrating a room or area with guards, enemies, or hostile civilians near the entrances to the area. An explosive charge [commonly C4 [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6d/Eod2.jpg/300px-Eod2.jpg:C4] or another similar device] is placed over the door / entrance, then detonated. This allows free movement inside a heavily guarded area, as mostly all conventional locks would be incinerated by the explosion.Breach and Clear can also be executed by opening a door first, then lobbing an explosive similar to a grenade inside. This can be performed with a smoke grenade or a flashbang in order to incapacitate the enemy. This is often called Smoke & Clear, Frag & Clear, or Flash & Clear.
