Cordon and search

Cordon and search is a military tactic to cordon off an area and search the premises for weapons or insurgents.^[1][2] It is one of the basic counter insurgency operation.^[3] Other related operations are Cordon and knock^[4][5][6] and Cordon and kick.

Cordon and knock is a relatively new technique in military operations. It has taken over the old term of a simple house search. It is part of new doctrine called Stability and Support Operations or SASO. It is a technique used where there is no hard intelligence of weapons in the house and therefore is less intense than a normal house search. It is used in urban neighborhoods. The purpose of the mission is to search a house with as little inconvenience to the resident family as possible.
