What action should be taken during Phase 2 Clearance?

During Phase 2 Clearance, the correct action is to remove the magazine and clear the weapon. This phase focuses on addressing malfunctions that prevent the firearm from firing, particularly when a round is lodged in the chamber and the magazine may still contain additional rounds. By removing the magazine and clearing the weapon, you ensure that any obstruction or jam can be assessed and handled properly.

This step is crucial for maintaining firearm safety and functionality in a high-stress situation. Clearing the weapon before any further actions allow the operator to reset their firearm to a safe condition. The other actions, while they may be relevant at different times during firearms handling, do not specifically address the immediate need to rectify a malfunction during this particular phase.
