Re: MOUT vs CQB
Isn't MOUT an umbrella term, including CQB, humanitarian aid, patrolling, etc etc.? Basically every operation the military undertakes in an urban environment is MOUT, whereas CQB is just that - Close Quarters Battle.
More guns and bullets make bad guys go away faster,
which in turn makes everyone in the area safer.

CR is pretty much right on. A similar definition posted by me can be found here.

Re: MOUT vs CQB
Basically, and often forms combined arms, larger unit structures (squad, platoon on up) in operations boxes and other limits of the area they are patrolling. You can think about it as that. MOUT is often broader, area-focused.ClearRight wrote:Isn't MOUT an umbrella term, including CQB, humanitarian aid, patrolling, etc etc.?

Re: MOUT vs CQB
How about CLOSE COMBAT? I think CQB is combat in CLOSE TERRAIN so close combat IS CQB.

Re: MOUT vs CQB
you can look at it in 3 ways:
1: They are a military and a LE acronym for the same conditions
2: Military personel execute MOUT, until they reach a indoor objective where the name changes to CQB.
3: Most likely its kind of a grey area, and you can 't really compare military ROE and conditions to LE's equivalent.
