#3 Regarding Patrols: In WWII the US Army Cavalry in the South Pacific had a primary patrol and a corresponding backup. Immediately upon contact with an opposing Japanese small unit the patrol simply kept the enemy focused on them and just tried to stay alive while the backup moved in on the opposing unit. The small Japanese unit was then annihilated. The cavalry took no prisoners. This was a standard military tactic for all patrols.

#4 Something a bit different.

HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON 60 REISING 45 ACP

Background article at this link.

Any similarity of the semi-auto Reising to the iconic Ruger 10-22 is purely coincidental.

#5 Hope those guys didn't pay too much for that live-action training.

Tactical trainers charge between $250 and $500 per day, depending on location and what is being taught.

Right now the Israeli tactical training firm Cherev Gidon has a nice special going in Penn, a 7 day camp which attempts to familiarize those without any military experience with weapons and tactics, including intelligence gathering.

I'd go for it but for the lack of time off and the expense.

#7 Clearing the room video shows the first guy approaching the room with the sequential wedge view technique, but he does not seem to follow through enough, as he leaves a wedge unchecked at the end when he enters, and he could get killed. The perp would also die with the next guy entering the room and killing him.

From the limited training I had in room clearing, you do not do that unless you are rescuing a loved one. That is why cops use dogs in this operation if they can.

Wish I'd seen this before Father's Day.
