we do the same thing even setting up fake breaches prior to entering we’d blow a random compound wall@Wiseborn You can kind of see the mutual protection (in the video) when they attempt to hit a difficult target with the AT-4. The brad moves up to REALLY hit it with a TOW. A fighter(s) possibly tries to hit the Brad with an RPG, before it can back off, so the infantry kills/suppresses the fighter(s) with the 240. When conditions are met (another fire team/squad is on line with them or covering them from across the street) they will move up and clear the next house. They work both sides of the streets and alleyways, leapfrogging with other squads and the Brads until they cleared a whole block.
I’m not sure how marines do it (maybe @TheDarkskinnedDrake can clarify) but Many Army units will skip houses/structures and employ “back clearing” to keep the enemy on their toes. It helps smaller units move faster when clearing blocks of structures. You can also use vehicles/armor to create distractions and feints. SF and Seals used to do this to us all the time when I was OPFOR at Irwin lol.
