Roles

Unconventional warfare

Contemporary unconventional and hybrid threats pose complex challenges that need a different approach to training. OPFOR is uniquely positioned to create bespoke scenarios that reflect real events and known insurgent tactics, including shoots, sabotage scenarios, informer networks and logistics operations.

Insurgent scenarios are customised to each client. They allow dynamic interaction between participants and present a range of tactical and moral dilemmas, so that military and law enforcement personnel meet the kind of complex environment they may face for real.

What can OPFOR provide?

  • Rebels and insurgents. Like an enemy party, but dressed and equipped as armed civilians, with less rigid tactics.
  • Green force. A local army that is not against NZDF. It can be hostile or friendly, in a peacekeeping-style role.
  • Foreign services. Intelligence gathering against NZDF during an exercise.
  • Piracy. Waterborne armed criminals trying to take control of vessels, set in foreign waters.
  • Protests.
