If you do see someone teaching this stuff, they usually don't know what they are doing, hence the great amount youtube videos of idiots doing this stuff and almost killing themselves....if only darwin would step in at those moments.
I got news for ya. The .mil doesn't have the market cornered on "room entry, team tactics, breaching". That's standard SWAT or even active shooter stuff that most street officers learn and can be found being taught at many civilian shooting schools in the country. Ever go to Thunder Ranch?

There are lots of LE or former LE guys teaching this that would disagree with your assertion that "they usually don't know what they're doing".

We've been down this road before.
