at very short range, potentially to the point of
hand-to-hand combat or fighting with hand
weapons such as swords or knives.
• Close quarters battle applies to a physical
confrontation between a crisis response team
and a terrorist group that occurs at short range
(i.e., close quarters), such as in a building or
vehicle
• Typically during close quarters battle, a crisis
response team conducts a rapid, physical
assault on a building or vehicle that is
controlled by terrorists to neutralize the
