"That's where training comes in. The Army's 101st Airborne and Marines in Baghdad have all been trained on the lethal art of close quarter battle skills, or CQB. 'Stacks' of four burst through a doorway and each pours in and covers a specific zone of the room--they call it "pie-ing off" the room. They go in with speed and extreme violence, often preceded by a stunning "flash-bang" grenade to disorient anyone waiting for them in the room. To do it right, there's no room for error--any attention lapse could get someone killed. The troops who do this kind of work take it very seriously and train constantly."
