"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."
