What action should be taken with chained doors when breaching?

When dealing with chained doors during a breaching operation, employing bolt cutters is the most effective action. Chained doors are typically secured with a chain and padlock, and trying to force the door open using a ram may not be effective as the door can still be restrained by the chain. Furthermore, breaking a window is often not ideal because it can create unnecessary noise and potential injury from glass shards, and it does not directly resolve the issue of the door being chained.

By using bolt cutters, you can specifically target and cut the chain, which allows for a more efficient and quieter method of gaining entry while maintaining a focus on safety and effectiveness. This method resolves the challenge posed by the chain without the added complications that other options could present.
