In room clearing, what term identifies the control point established after clearing a hard corner?

• A. Point of Domination
• B. Writ of Habeas Corpus
• C. Human Eye Adaptation Time
• D. FBI Jurisdiction on Escapes

Answer: (A)

Point of Domination is the control point established after clearing a hard corner. It gives the team a secure, advantageous position from which to observe the corridor, control movement, and direct the next steps of the entry. From this spot you have visibility of key angles, can cover the doorway, and prevent threats from slipping back into the space you’ve already cleared. Establishing this dominant position helps maintain mutual support and clear orientation as you advance, making the subsequent rooms easier to clear safely.

The other terms don’t fit this context: they refer to legal procedures, physiological concepts, or jurisdictional topics, none of which describe a tactical control point in room clearing.
