text: Preface
  This manual is one of a series that describes a contemporary Opposing Force
  (OPFOR) for training U.S. Army commanders, staffs, and units. See the
  Bibliography section for a list of the manuals in this series. Together, these
  manuals outline an OPFOR than 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 simula-
  tions, and classroom instruction throughout the Army. All Army training venues
  should use an OPFOR based on these manuals, except when mission rehearsal or
  contingency training requires maximum fidelity to a specific country-based
  threat. Even in the latter case, trainers should use appropriate parts of the
  OPFOR manuals to fill information gaps in a manner consistent with what they
  do know about a specific threat.
