This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army's permanent opposing forces can trace their origins to 1946, when the Army stood up the fictional 'Circle Trigonist' aggressor force based loosely on Second World War German and Soviet forces, which gradually morphed into a more Soviet type of opponent for Army exercises as the Cold War progressed. While there were no dedicated aggressor units, the Army established unique doctrine, tactics, uniforms, and even used the Esperanto language to create a common 'enemy' for the entire Army to train against. It was only after the Vietnam War that the Army established a lasting, dedicated opposing force to ensure the Army trained as it expected to fight in the next war. First established at the National Training Center (NTC) in California's Death Valley in 1982, the professional OPFOR now comprises: - The 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment at NTC is a brigade-sized unit that can replicate a low-level urban insurgency or an entire Soviet-style armored division; - The 1st Battalion, 509th Airborne Infantry at the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) Louisiana that specializes in replicating low-intensity conflicts for light infantry and special operations forces; - The 1st Battalion, 4th Infantry, a combined arms unit at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center (JMRC) in Germany that provides an adaptable enemy for U.S. and allied forces to train against in Europe. Each OPFOR unit has unique uniforms, emblems and vehicles to help it portray an enemy force with some fidelity. Each Combat Training Center provides a unique and challenging environment for the training of visiting U.S. and allied units. The Army OPFOR provides an aggressive, challenging force with which to test tactics, techniques, readiness and equipment in a simulated combat environment, where units are tracked real-time and lasers are used to determine hits and kills. Observer/controllers provide feedback to the units being trained, helping them to identify and correct shortcomings. The experiences provided by the OPFOR contributed significantly to the decisive victories in Operation Desert Storm in 1991 and Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 and provided a pre-deployment crucible for units deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan's subsequent insurgencies. All three units continue in this role today, adapting to accurately portray terrorists, hybrid semi-state groups, and near-peer state adversaries.

Book excerpt: It has been nearly thirty years since a holistic explanation of the Soviet-based Opposing Force (OPFOR) was examined in the U.S. Army Field Manual 100-2 series. Recognizing this, ¿OPFOR SMARTbook 3: Red Team Army¿ re-examines and outlines the doctrinal operational construct and historical foundations of Soviet-era military forces from the FM 100-2 series, which is now out-of-print and largely unavailable. Second, OPFOR SMARTbook 3 reorganizes that foundational material and aligns it in keeping with contemporary military doctrinal taxonomy to include ADRP 3-0 Unified Land Operations and ADRP 3-90 Tactics. Third, OPFOR SMARTbook 3 translates and bridges the strategic- and operational-level doctrine into tactical application at the small-unit level. Through this triangulation, a more modern rendition of Red Team Armies emerges. *** Find the latest edtion of this book and the rest of our series of military reference SMARTbooks at the publishers website: www.TheLightningPress.com ***

This book was released on 2012-11-30 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual, “Opposing Force Operations (FM 7-100.1),” is one of a series that describes a contemporary Opposing Force (OPFOR) for training U.S. Army commanders, staffs, and units. 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. This OPFOR reflects the characteristics of military and paramilitary forces that may be present in the contemporary operational environment (COE). Like those real-world threats, the OPFOR will continue to present new and different challenges for U.S. forces. The COE is constantly changing, and it is important for U.S. Army training environments to keep pace with real-world developments. 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.

Book excerpt: TRADOC Pamphlet 350-17, Light OPFOR Tactics Handbook is the third volume of the capabilities-based Light OPFOR series of handbooks. This handbook provides the customer with a tactical overview of the Light OPFOR. The focus of the Light OPPOR Tactics Handbook is on the tactics of first-echelon truck-mounted, motorized infantry divisions and below, and how other arms, possibly including tanks, support them. For more detail on mechanized infantry and tank tactics, see the Heavy OPFOR Tactics Handbook. The intent is to use TRADOC Pamphlet 350-17 with TRADOC Pamphlet 350-15, Light OPFOR Operational Art Handbook and TRADOC Pamphlet 350-13, Light OPFOR Organization Guide. Any differences between the organizations in the Light OPFOR Tactics Handbook and the Light OPFOR Organization Guide are intention. Future versions of the Light OPPOR Organization Guide will incorporate these changes. The intent of the Light OPFOR Tactics Handbook is to provide the trainer with a standardized flexible training opponent capable of stressing any or all battlefield operating systems of light U.S. forces. It provides the doctrine to support potential orders of battle built from the Light OPFOR Organization Guide. The first group of topics covered in the Light OPFOR Tactics Handbook includes OPFOR military thought and structure; command and control; march; reconnaissance; offense; and defense. Further chapters discuss artillery, antitank, air, air defense, engineer, and logistics support. Also covered are the uses of electronic combat; chemical and smoke; and camouflage, concealment, and deception.

Download or read book Light Infantry written by Scott R. McMichael and published by Nimble Books. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army's commitment to light divisions is testimony to the importance of light infantry in modern war. The continuing usefulness of light forces goes beyond their ease of deployment. Light infantry exemplifies a state of mind that reveals itself in a unique tactical style, versatility, and elan that are so vital in battle. While the structure of light infantry makes it admirably equipped to fight in restricted terrain, it operates at considerable disadvantage in areas more suited to heavy forces. As with any military organization, commanders must consider both the capabilities and limitations of light infantry before committing it to battle. Major Scott R, McMichael provides a valuable historical perspective for understanding the characteristics, organization, and operations of light infantry forces. Major McMichael's Research Survey examines four light infantry forces operating in varying settings: the Chindits in the 1944 Burma campaign against the Japanese: the Chinese Communist Forces during the Korean War; British operations in Malaya and Borneo from 1948 to 1966: and the First Special Service Force in its battles in the mountains of Itali during World War II. These examples are diverse in terms of time, areas of operations, and opposing forces, yet they reveal common characteristics of light forces and their operations. A Historical Perspective on Light Infantry is based on extensive research in primary and secondary historical sources. The author has uncovered numerous doctrinal and operational manuals and reports and has gone beyond them to explore the more personal side of light infantry operations. This study is both fascinating reading and a valuable historica, analysis of the capabilities and limitations of light infantry when faced with the test of battle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study seeks to clarify the nature of light infantry. General characteristics of light infantry forces are identified, and an analysis of how light forces operate tactically and how they are supported is presented. In the process, the relationship of the light infantry ethic to its organization is evaluated, and the differences between light infantry and conventional infantry is illuminated. For the purpose of this study, the term conventional infantry refers to modern-day motorized and mechanized infantry and to the large dismounted infantry forces typical of the standard infantry divisions of World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The study concludes that light infantry is unique and distinct. A light infantry ethic exits and manifests itself in a distinctive tactical style, in a special attitude toward the environment, in a freedom from dependence on fixed lines of communication, and in a strong propensity for self-reliance. The study is based on a historical analysis of 4 light infantry forces employed during and since World War II: The Chindits, in the 1944 Burma campaign against the Japanese; The Chinese communist Forces during the Korean War; British operations in Malaya and Borneo 1948-66; and the First Special Service Force in the mountains of Italy 1942-44. -- p.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper focuses on the formulation of doctrine since World War II. In no comparable period in history have the dimensions of the battlefield been so altered by rapid technological changes. The need for the tactical doctrines of the Army to remain correspondingly abreast of these changes is thus more pressing than ever before. Future conflicts are not likely to develop in the leisurely fashions of the past where tactical doctrines could be refined on the battlefield itself. It is, therefore, imperative that we apprehend future problems with as much accuracy as possible. One means of doing so is to pay particular attention to the business of how the Army's doctrine has developed historically, with a view to improving methods of future development.

Book excerpt: Throughout the Cold War the U.S. Army relied upon mechanized infantry to meet the Soviet threat. The U.S. faced an enemy with the largest modem mechanized force in the world. That threat disappeared, nearly a decade ago, when the Soviet Union collapsed and military forces throughout the world significantly reduced their armed forces, The U.S. Army from 1989 until 1999 underwent its most dramatic downsizing since the end of World War II, as the global environment changed. The nature of conflict has changed too, but U.S. Army force structure, although smaller, has remained fundamentally a mechanized heavy force. This paper demonstrates that there is an increased need for basic infantry in the post Cold War world. As Sun-tzu stated, an army must know themselves and the enemy, to ensure success in conflict. U.S. Army doctrine stresses, in periods of rapid and fundamental change it is important to closely scrutinize previous assumptions made about the threat and factors impacting on the 2 During the Cold War the Army based its structure on some key assumptions about the future threat and the global security environment. Those assumptions drove U.S. Army force development and technological adaptations in accordance with the Concept Based Requirements System (CBRS).3.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is about winning in combat. Winning requires many things: excellence in techniques, an appreciation of the enemy, exemplary leadership, battlefield judgment, and focused combat power. Yet these factors by themselves do not ensure success in battle. Many armies, both winners and losers, have possessed many or all of these attributes. When we examine closely the differences between victor and vanquished, we draw one conclusion. Success went to the armies whose leaders, senior and junior, could best focus their efforts-their skills and their resources-toward a decisive end. Their success arose not merely from excellence in techniques, procedures, and material but from their leaders' abilities to uniquely and effectively combine them. Winning in combat depends upon tactical leaders who can think creatively and act decisively.
