The training scenario centers on a capture mission against a high value individual named Müller DJ, described as a tall male around 6'2" to 6'3". He is portrayed as funding two terror cells in the Kansas–Missouri area. Instructors pass around surveillance photos so participants can recognize the target and his source. The brief focuses on a specific target building, emphasizing the south side as the primary concern. A surveillance team will watch for anyone fleeing out the back. Charlie cell is assigned as the lead vehicle, parking near a junked car at the primary gate, while Whiskey cell stages behind them near a downed tree and another vehicle. The plan stresses clear vehicle positions, dismount points, and maintaining cell integrity during the assault.
The instructors detail the initial entry plan. Charlie cell moves up first, staying on the left side of the building, climbing rubble, and entering on the left. One member provides limited support as others pass, with the last man filling into the stack for the final assault. Whiskey cell approaches from the opposite side, using a green field and a near right corner to access the roof and a smaller internal building on the right. Both cells are to breach simultaneously, each clearing its assigned target. Once each side is secure, the cell leaders communicate status by radio and shift personnel if one side encounters problems. The emphasis remains on simultaneous entry, disciplined movement, and not breaking cell integrity while searching for the high value target.
After the assault, the focus shifts to securing the site and identifying the high value individual. Participants are instructed not to confirm the target until the entire location is cleared. Once secure, personnel are positioned at checkpoints and hallways to watch anyone alive or deceased in the rooms. Instructors and team leaders move through, assigning individuals to clean up their rooms, search for evidence, and manage unknown persons or those who have been engaged. If someone believes they have located the target, leadership compares the detainee to the reference photos. When the target is confirmed, the radio call "jackpot" signals mission completion. The team then considers breaking down, handling any remaining elements on site, and deciding whether to pursue follow-on targets based on gathered information.
During the interior clearing, trainees practice commands under low light: cutting lights, engaging contacts, controlling stairwells, and ordering suspects to face walls and show hands. Rooms are cleared methodically, with weapons secured, bodies rolled to remove firearms safely, and pockets, waistbands, and clothing searched for additional weapons or items such as phones and magazines. Once one side reports secure and confirms jackpot, the team notes four personnel inside: two neutralized and two remaining, one identified as a threat and one as an unknown. A folder with papers is found but appears to be trash. Additional information indicates an American host and an NGO worker matching a description are linked to a follow-on target about a mile and a half away. The team prepares for a dismounted movement, planning to cross danger areas by rotating rear and lead cells and likely using a single entry point due to limited rehearsal time.
The scenario advances to escorting the captured high value individual to an extraction point roughly three-quarters of a mile away in the rain. Participants discuss minor training injuries, including a broken nail from force-on-force impacts, underscoring the physical nature of the exercise. The team moves through terrain while calling out contact left and contact right, pushing around corners and clearing interior spaces. Simulated opponents are engaged and declared out of action as the team advances. Commands focus on covering corners, watching upper levels, and controlling movement. Suspects are ordered to show hands, face walls, and remain still while others search back rooms. The training highlights maintaining security on detainees and unknowns while continuing to maneuver and respond to new threats during the escort.
The high value individual is now injured and must be evacuated from an upper level while engagements continue downstairs. Trainees assemble a litter under simulated direct fire and coordinate an alternate exit route. The team confirms the casualty is prepped and ready, then lifts on a count to move him out. Communication centers on how much time is needed, status checks, and when to start rolling with the litter team. As the scenario concludes, real law enforcement officers arrive on scene, drawn by the intensity of the training and the realistic gunfire sounds, contrasting their live weapons with the trainees’ orange-tipped training guns. The segment ends with the instructors joking about discarding the training gun and calling in an airstrike, underscoring the immersive nature of the force-on-force CQB exercise.
