Animals or groups protect their territory by using sounds like birds singing or scents like pheromones from many mammals to mark boundaries. These are just the initial warnings. If other animals ignore these signs, a conflict might happen. Animals need a secure territory to mate, raise their young, and ensure there's enough food and resources for survival. This episode looks at the strategies animals use to claim their territory.

The practice of hiring private armies goes back to ancient times, and the mystique associated with the mercenary warrior has been the subject of many historical studies and fictional characterizations. This episode of CQB takes a more contemporary look at a day in the life of a group of civilian contractors, and how their role has evolved on the modern battlefield. Using its “sub-second” analysis techniques and intimate first-person footage, CQB reveals the backgrounds, training and equipment of today's “soldiers for hire” and how private armies are re-shaping the way conflicts are conducted around the world.

The Bosnian War was an extraordinarily complex event, with many layers of military involvement including NATO forces, national militaries, irregular paramilitary forces, mujahedeen revolutionaries, private security companies, and international intelligence personnel. One tactic in particular struck fear into the hearts of the military and civilians alike: the use of snipers positioned in high buildings. This edition of CQB investigates this specific combat technique and how it was countered by opposing forces. Taking viewers inside a “sniper‘s den,” the program explains how this tactic was so successfully used by rebel forces – and how traditional military techniques evolved to combat it.

In 1968, a new form of military policing was being developed in a rural area north of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Police Department sent an observer to this unit, and he, in turn, took this knowledge back to the LAPD. This contributed to the development of the department's first Special Weapons and Tactics (S.W.A.T.) team. This CQB episode takes an historical journey to examine how this incident affected and changed police tactics around the world. Using CQB's trademark “sub-second” analysis, the program also looks at how police S.W.A.T. teams train, plan and equip themselves for the challenges of urban combat. The dramatization of a 1980s S.W.A.T. siege of a gang safe-house demonstrates the complicated challenge of protecting innocent people who might be caught in the line of fi re, as well as the specifics of the squad's training regimen, how they communicated, and the special equipment they used.
