Which choice describes a practice to ensure you clear the area (AOR) during entry?

• A. Clear respective AOR
• B. Not communicating
• C. Rushing entry
• D. Avoiding window checks

Answer: (A)

Clear your assigned area and have each team member take responsibility for clearing their own sector. That approach ensures there are no gaps in coverage and that every part of the entry zone is checked for threats, hazards, or civilians. It also supports precise communication—when a sector is clear, the officer communicates that status to the rest of the team before moving on—so the team can advance safely and methodically. Rushing, skipping window checks, or failing to communicate create blind spots and increase the risk of surprises or injuries, whereas dividing the area and clearing each part systematically keeps the operation controlled and safer for everyone involved.
