Roles

Conventional warfare

Real adversaries operate in all weather and terrain, and so does the OPFOR. Wherever it is needed, OPFOR plans to be available to carry out realistic infantry tasks.

Working to client-provided tactics and doctrine, or to the Decisive Action Training Environment, OPFOR light infantry is a versatile force that brings new challenges and realism to training.

What can OPFOR provide?

  • Enemy party. A generic fighting team that engages soldiers with rifles and machine guns, from a single role player to a trained ten-person section.
  • Fighting positions. Dug or prepared defensive positions for soldiers to practise attacking.
  • Fixed indirect weapon positions. Mortar pits and artillery positions.
  • Enemy prisoner of war training.
  • Hunter force. A team that hunts soldiers taking part in escape and evasion training.
