This manual is one of a series that describes an opposing force (OPFOR) for training U.S. Army commanders, staffs, and units. These manuals outline an OPFOR that can cover the entire spectrum of military and paramilitary capabilities against which the Army must train to ensure success in any future conflict.
Applications for this series of manuals include field training, training simulations, and classroom instruction throughout the Army.

Training U.S. forces for the contemporary operational environment (COE) requires a different kind of OPFOR from that of the past. The OPFOR must be less predictable and not based on the armed forces of a particular country or non-state actor. In today's world, the U.S. Army must be prepared to go into any operational environment (OE) and perform its full range of missions.
