ORGANIZATION GUIDE

512 pages.

This manual describes a capabilities-based Opposing Force (OPFOR) for training U.S. Army commanders, staffs, and units.

This manual outlines an OPFOR that can cover the entire spectrum of military capabilities against which the Army must train to ensure success in any future conflict.

This manual provides a menu of possible organizational building blocks for an armor- and mechanized-based OPFOR. From this menu, users can build an order of battle appropriate to their training requirements. For each type of unit, the manual outlines basic unit structure and possibly a number of variations. For most units, the manual also lists principal items of equipment. Appendixes provide guidance and examples for users who wish to substitute other items of equipment for the baseline systems listed for a unit.
