Tactical Stack
CLOSED
CLOSED STACK 5 Man Team NOTE: The team should use the light and heavy stack concept
to minimize the chances of bumping into each other when entering an enclosed area. As a general rule, the heavy side of the stack should enter the room first. This slide shows the entry team using the one and five stack set up (light and heavy side). However, the stack may end up with two members on the light side while three other members stack on the heavy side of the door. Also, the team may elect to disperse its formation if there is imminent danger at the door.
