Working with foreign military forces is a common task for military personnel, and a skill needed at every rank. Working across cultures brings challenges that traditional training may not address, including language barriers, cultural differences and different approaches to problem-solving.
OPFOR creates realistic situations that test personnel on exactly those challenges. Role players simulate embedded training teams, insider attacks, joint patrols and joint training.
What can OPFOR provide?
- Green force (embedded with NZDF). Role players who act as a foreign nation's armed forces, so that NZDF personnel can train alongside them.
