Urban Military Operations Explained | Door Kicking 101
Is the US Military method for urban room clearing the best one? It’s a relatively new procedure in the past few decades. The MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain) room clearing tactics used by the army and marine corps infantry are also the same ones adopted by most western & NATO countries. Many military experts say the alternative British FIBUA (Fighting in Built Up Areas) methodical room clearing approach is better.
In this video we’ll cover the military history of urban operations and room clearing. The US Army calls this battle drill 6 alpha AKA Platoon enter and clear a building. We will go over the raid procedures from kicking in a door to capturing the high valued target.

Runners? You mean SQUIIIRTERS
Violence of action, what does that mean?
The best method would probably be a combination of US and UK/Israeli tactics supplemented with flashbangs.
Pie the room like Israeli/UK forces, toss in some 9 bangers and then USA the fuck outta that room.
For extra freedom just use some explosives to _create a new door_ and pie->rush boffum
i also personally hate doors
Do Counterinsurgency next!!
I thought military intelligence was an oxymoron?
FIBUA has largely been adopted by SWAT Teams in the US, and is slowly being taught to patrol Officers for Active Shooter response as an option if appropriate. IMO. It is a better method for LE since time is almost always on our side. If there is no exigent need, i.e. hostage rescue, active killing, why would anyone want to rush into a room occupied by an armed subject. You can clear 75-90% of a room by slicing pie making your ultimate entry much more successful. Standard MOUT tactics without some sort of distraction device against an entrenched and committed enemy are pretty suicidal if you ask me.
Yeesh, back in 99 we just got a "go clear that building" no plans like that, yeah we had training but this was before all the nifty tech. Though prefered method of ‘door kicking’ was SMAW UP!
Great video and well researched. I enjoyed reading the informed comments and reply’s as well. You’ve got a good community here.
I would like to see a video in the future on Army Field Intelligence.
Did I see a Grau in this vid?
O 100 hours? O is a letter and not a number. I hope you meant to say Zero (0) 100 hours. Sorry had to say it. Yea, I’m that guy.
Just level the building with explosives
The Israeli method is better imho. I’ve trained in both. An advantage to the Israeli way is it requires fewer personnel inside.
I feel like the Fabou method could be better because a 30 round AK mag+automatic fire= not good
He changed the title, didn’t it used to be called MOUT vs. FIBOU or whatever
If I was an Army man I’d go for the FIBUA doctrine! I am 100 percent biased, sorry about that. I have learned a lot about the Army in these posts, I do wonder if an Intelligence personage would be able (or want to) discuss the ins and outs of intelligence gathering.
According to some torture is an ineffective way of gaining reliable information!
If you are able to (and want to) I’d like to see you and your colleagues look at something like the Waco incident. It happened in the 1990s and the outcome was way too much collateral damage.
It would probably be better to create a scenario loosely based on that particular event.
Can you make a video for cavalry scouts?
I would be really interested in the intelligence vid
Army intelligence? That’s an oxymoron.

0:58 my whole life changed thanks to, *p a i d t o b e h o m e .c o m*
In mader rasshia we clear buildings from the landscape.
My 15 year old dogs farts usually clear the building.
Who was the army with the Steyrs? (definitely didn’t look like Australia)
1:50 I have no more stress because of, *p a i d t o b e h o m e .c o m*
Speaking as a brit, its pronounced:
fib-u-a
British is BEST!!! Of course we are. America needs all the help it can get atm..Hope everyone is doin ok????
It’s fibuaaaaaaaa. Pronounce the A cappy. Also my unit called it simply FISH. (Fighting in Someone’s house 😂)
I really love your videos man! Always excited to seeing my notification bar with your upload. Keep up the great content!
I’m no expert on the matter, so take this question as coming from someone with little knowledge on the subject.
How feasible is it to hybridize MOUT and FIBUA? Can two soldiers first sweep the room from outside the door and make sure there’s no immediate threat like in FIBUA, then order the stacked formation inside to clear the room more thoroughly in a more traditional MOUT formation?
I think everyone gets flashbangs it’s the only way. Ps I play call of duty real gud
was an active Singapore Armed Forced Armoured Infantry Trooper during national service and trained on both US doctrine as well as FIBUA. I must say personally I prefer FIBUA for it’s usually much quieter and better element of surprise. But of cus once an enemy is spotted outside and shot, all element of surprise is gone, therefore we adopted a very similar doctrine to both, where we scan the corner of the doorway and once we spot the enemy, we shoot and rush in at the same time. This takes out one possible threat while maintaining the element of surprise.

Infantry: "Breach the door!"
Combat Engineer: "Breach the wall"
Armor: "What wall?"
Aviation: "What building?" *Fortunate Son Plays*
Runners or squirts
US Soldier kicking open doors is still isn’t as scary as my parents going in my room without knocking first
In a more slow way? America’ whole thing is fast and violent show of force. Can’t have a hostile air force if you remove the air force before it can even clear for takeoff. It’s basically modern day blitzkrieg but on a smaller sale.
Most enemies wouldn’t be well trained and would be susceptible to surprise; and wouldn’t know how to respond making it a good system to use most of the time.
True story: We were stacked up outside the door. I was the guy at the rear. Everything was clear so I blindly slapped my hand back to give the guy behind me the tap to pass up to the front. Problem is my hand swung too low and I ended up striking him in the balls.
Thank goodness this was in training.
Good to see my fellow Aussies in this one. 👍🏻
New Zealand Army RNZIR represent !! – Onward
to me it all depends on intel.
that should determin the room room/ structre clearing
why be set in one mind set unless you can only train one way
@14:30 I’m no expert but an expert told me that by trying to clear as much as the room before entering is good if your a cop but not for an warfighter. Violence of action prevents the enemy from being able to throw a grenade while your outside the door. I would love to do the slow and steady but I felt safer just busting in because I own the element of surprise and shock. I think once an enemy knows your trying to enter he can just keep shooting at whatever tries to peak out. Then at that point no one wants to take the room cuz he’s just ADSing waiting to let off a rip to the first man in
smooth is fast, fast is smooth
FIBUA is definitely better. I think people playing R6 Siege get to experiment and that is how the vast majority play. Not perfectly realistic, but still insightful.
5:54 is that a howa type 89 ?
cool
In Canada, our number one is a virile male Canadian Goose. We run the cage up to the door, lift the gate, and that territorial rageturkey clears the whole place faster than you can say, “violence of action”
Or as my trainers liked to call it: "navy seal hathat shit"
What’s the strategy after pie-ing off the door? It’s the exact same. And I have never heard of anyone saying to not engage an enemy in direct front. More like a dumb A misinterpretation of tactics. Not that I’d throw that past army infantry
Say man does the us military use the metric system cause you chop and change between the 2 ie Beretta 9 mm 1911 45 cal which is 11.5mm ? From Western Australia
Na, just toss tear gas in. The room will clear it self😂
