The staircase itself is a corner staircase with a plateau the middle of the way up. At the plateau, there is a loft and the continuation of the stairway in opposite directions. This introduced a two-way threat similar to having a long hallway and being stuck in the middle. The other challenge is having a place two pocket doors, and two closed doors right beside each other in a corner. That meant that to open one door, you must stand in front of another.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-32347\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-3.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-3-800x522.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-3-400x261.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-3-768x501.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"913\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-3.jpg\" alt=\"Man looking into a closet while clearing a house\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-3.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-3-800x522.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-3-400x261.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-3-768x501.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption>LaVelle teaches that after you do your initial clearing of the house, maintain the element of surprise to then go back through and check things like closets and\u00a0cabinets.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>All of these present challenges that we were intrigued to get LaVelle\u2019s professional input on. LaVelle served in the United States Marine Corps as well as serving a number of years in SWAT. Over his career, he had been trained to clear homes and had done so on the job too.<\/p>\n<h2>A Foundation<\/h2>\n<p>LaVelle started off reminding us, like so many of those who have served in the military or law enforcement often do, that this sort of thing is never done by one person alone. Rather, this sort of thing is usually done with a full team of people. In LaVelle\u2019s SWAT days, his team consisted of 12 to 17 team members. The number would vary based on the number of snipers and rear security needed. Nonetheless, this challenge was about clearing as one person might be forced to do due to unique circumstances.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-32348\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-4.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-4-800x450.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-4-400x225.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-4-768x432.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-4.jpg\" alt=\"Man carrying a rifle and entering a house to start clearing it\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-4.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-4-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-4-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-4-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption>When entering a doorway, swing the door out of the way and proceed to the first corner and from there dominate the room.

LaVelle reminds us off the bat that \u201cyou\u2019re going to miss something\u201d when you are by yourself. Unless you have eyes in the back of your head, you can\u2019t look everywhere at once. The military adage of \u201cslow is smooth, and smooth is fast\u201d rings true here. In our scenario, we still maintain the element of surprise, which is also our greatest asset.<\/p>\n<h2>The Steps<\/h2>\n<p>When entering the home or any corner for that matter, you need to enter through the threshold as fast as possible \u2014 don\u2019t stay skylighted for the threat to have an easy target. When entering, you advance to the first corner of the room and from there sweep over the rest of the room, with your muzzle searching for threats. This whole process should be as lighting fast as you can make it. From here, you dominate the room.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-32349\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-5.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-5-800x533.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-5-400x267.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-5-768x512.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-5.jpg\" alt=\"Man ascending stairs while carrying a rifle to clear a home\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-5.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-5-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-5-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-5-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption>Stairs can be a big challenge since staircases are narrow, making you an easier target. Stairs can also be loud and creaky, so keep your head on a swivel and be ready for\u00a0anything.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The next step is to move through the house, room by room, exposing yourself as little as possible. LaVelle teaches, assuming the element of surprise is still on your side, to skip doors that are closed as opening doors might alert a threat in the house of your exact location due to the sound. LaVelle checked the first room with an open door, entering the same way, and then proceeded to clear the first floor. All of this has to happen while keeping an eye on the staircase in case a threat emerges.<\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter inline\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: none;\" class=\"logo-tal-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/themes\/thearmorylife\/img\/logo-tal-tm-icon.svg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Live The Armory Life.<\/strong> The latest content straight to your inbox plus an automatic entry to each of our <a class=\"ajax-giveaways\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/giveaways\/\"><strong>monthly gun\u00a0giveaways!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>When it comes to clearing staircases, you want to walk on the outside edge of the staircase that lets you peer most into the above space.

A pocket door, one of the remaining doors left closed, is a challenge because it cannot swing out of the way. You\u2019d have to push it hard enough to open it and proceed with the \u201cclear.\u201d When clearing, never stand right in front of a doorway. Doorways are easy targets that threats can blindly fire into when they feel threatened. So, only open them from a side approach.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-32351\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-7.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-7-800x450.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-7-400x225.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-7-768x432.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-7.jpg\" alt=\"Man with AR rifle clearing a home\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-7.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-7-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-7-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-one-man-room-clearing-sound-tactic-or-suicidal-7-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption>This part of the home was a particular challenge because it had two closed doors next to each other in a corner.
