Mil CQC Targets

We receive a lot of questions in regards to military close quarter’s combat human anatomy targets and the reasoning for mil CQC primary target selection and why legal targets in combat sports or traditional arts are not primary targets in our military CQC.

Our mil CQC equates to unarmed combat threat neutralisation and non-ballistic weapons threat neutralisation.

CQB equates to armed ballistic weapons threat neutralisation.

This file is about CQC/unarmed combat primary human anatomy targets.

There are a range of reasons why the included human anatomy targets are primary targets of threat neutralisation in military close quarters combat.

The main reasons are that such targeting will incapacitate or dispatch a formidable foe and the skills require less physicality than competitive codes or traditional arts techniques.

Primarily life-support systems or sensitive delicate human anatomy organs are the main targets to incapacitate or eliminate an enemy under high risk unarmed close quarters actions on.

Most if not all of the targets and means and methods of destroying the targets would never be used in competitive codes as the objective is to destroy bodily functions or fatally dispatch the enemy.

The targeting is deliberate and continuous to enable as immediate as possible enemy incapacitation or elimination.

The eyes, ears, spinal cord, airway, major arteries, and internal organs/life-support vitals are all primary targets of enemy elimination or incapacitation.

Destruction of the knee joint and knee cap ligaments as well as dislocation of elbow joints, shoulder joints, wrist joints and fingers or thumbs are also targets that can incapacitate or effect a release of a hold and as such reduce enemy capabilities in a close quarters actions on or for them to escape.

Targeting the genitals effectively does not only produce psychological effects but also high level pain and as such incapacitation.

The military close quarters combat means and methods of targeting human anatomy targets to incapacitate or eliminate the enemy are quick close deliberate over kill actions that require considerably less physicality than sporting or traditional arts techniques.

The modus operandi includes enemy containment to increase targeting effects.

Multiple targeting of the same human anatomy target or if the target area becomes covered or removed through disengagement, then selection of another equally effective human anatomy target and the continuation of targeting this or other similar targets until threat neutralisation is achieved is the modus operandi of such threat and situational mil CQC.

Combatants must have mastery of hardcover self- protection and high levels of mental toughness required to endure/overcome realities of neutralising a formidable foe in a close quarters battle field actions on.

Inoculation training against the effects of close quarter’s actions on contact combined with being armed with knowledge of the medical aspects and implications of the employment of primary mil CQC target destruction increases confidence and capabilities to dispatch formidable foes.

Knowing that successful contact with a delicate human bodily sensory organ or human anatomy life-support target will stop even the most formidable foe in their tracks provides high level confidence and self-belief in objective achievement.

Mil CQC means and methods of targeting such sensitive human sensory organs or life-support system targets are of a maximum destructive nature and increase the combatant’s chances of a quick, safe and effective objective achievement outcome.

While combatants understand the risks presented by highly skilled fighters they also thoroughly understand the effects of deadly penetration or overkill blunt force trauma to human delicate bodily sensory organs or life-support systems.

Body armour/helmets boots and battle dress provide some definite advantages in a close quarters actions on as far as protection goes and also in regards to increasing combatant safety and threat elimination.

As our CQC saying goes bare feet are for bathing, boots are for close combat.

Some of the toughest professional sportspersons under accidental or fouled illegal contact stop in their tracks and require official intervention and recovery or medical treatment and this is not even close to the level of kill or die foul target destruction of delicate human bodily sensory organs or life support systems.

Destruction of the knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist joint and fingers or thumb joints will certainly reduce enemy’s combative capabilities in an instant and make them vulnerable to continued primary target human anatomy destruction.

Obviously armed targeting of life-support systems and delicate human bodily sensory organs is even more instantaneous and terminal.

Understanding the modus operandi and means and methods of mil CQC human anatomy destruction and being capable of enduring enemy assault in the achievement of such enemy incapacitation or elimination maximises the combatant’s chance of safe and effective threat neutralisation.

The most important and required attribute is mental toughness and the willingness to do grievous bodily harm to another human being as in ones enemy and without the killer instinct required to switch on and switch off the necessary high level controlled aggression all ones skills capabilities are just practiced skills.

Not just anyone can when required conduct themselves with ruthlessness that is far removed from the mentality of living inside the laws of the land of everyday civilian life.

The military combatant under battlefield actions on rules of engagement is far removed from the civilian laws of self-defence and requires very different skills and capabilities.

Primary selected targets for mil CQC are musts for combatant to have the best chances of enemy threat neutralisation.
