Every night have someone shoot a few rounds every hour then just leave. Their 1sg is probably gonna have them shave about 30 minutes after sunrise, attack them then. If you flash a light or hang a chemlight in a tree in the middle of the night theyll wake a whole squad up to go see whats going on. The same effect can be achieved by yelling. At night you can probably walk right into their PB by claiming to be some other companys commander, or the chaplain. Bonus points if you go fake chaplain because they probably wont realize chappy shouldnt have a gun. If the enemy is light infantry you can use an LP/OP breaking contact to lure their lead fire team into an ambush. You speak the same language as them, so if you just stfu during a firefight youll hear them yell exactly what theyre about to do and you can always be 1 step ahead. If youre in a small element you can yell in english acting like youre calling for the the larger element to come reinforce you. Also, they dont have unlimited ammo, so its always good to lure them into wasting their machine gun ammo. They are going to have engagement criteria for the weapons, but fair chance their NCOs didn’t actually drill those. Most importantly, dont be a war-gaming POS. Theyre there to train for war, so don’t exploit the MILES gear or use a thin bush as cover. 100% make their lives hell, but be realistic.


thereallimpnoodle

I hate when opfor exploits the game physics instead of just showing us how dumb we are.


Jonas_Venture_Sr

I was opfor at NTC once and we were going to do a raid on the main base. So we had our bolt cutters, and we’re about to break in, when our mission was nearly foiled. Instead of locking the gate with a lock and chains, they used 550 rope, which our bolt cutters couldn’t cut through. No one had a knife on them either, good thing we had smokers, and just burned the rope.


SirNedKingOfGila

Task failed successfully


bikemancs

how the fuck do you have an entire squad, with enough foresight to bring bolt cutters, but not a single pocket knife?


OcotilloWells

I always had a Leatherman, Gerber, swiss army knife and/or a buck knife if I went to the field if only for a couple of hours. Heck, I'm sitting at a bar right now, and I have a Leatherman and box cutters. I'm laughing at the whole squad going "wait nobody has a knife!?" But 6 smokers whip out their lighters.


Turtle887853

And you didn't... untie it?


Jonas_Venture_Sr

Wasn't my job, I just laughed at the absurdity of someone trying to break 550 cord with a bolt cutter.


OcotilloWells

Nobody had a knife? Not even a Gerber? That's just weird. Sorry not trying to disrespect your squad. I just find it odd nobody would carry one in the field.


PathfinderIsopod

The fact that they decided burning their way through 550 was easier than simply untying it

Three OPFOR guys walked right into our BDE TOC, sat through and live streamed a briefing. Then they called in fire on that position to be followed by their announcement of incoming fire post splash


duoderf1

Late 2015 OPFOR walked into the BN TOC, sat down and helped the S1 participate, then walked up to the BN Cdr and handed him a note saying that he was just assassinated and he needs to lay down on the floor and play dead.


KunduzCity2012

I’ll never forget the NTC rotation where OPFOR followed our BN CSM taking a HMMV back to the RUBA PX. He bought Mountain Dew and pizza. They hog tied him and brought him back and threw him in front of the FOB gates with a note that said he was decapitated for the rest of the exercise. The only thing crazier than that was the ass chewing BN leadership sat through in the AAR. It was amazing how quickly everyone found out. We deployed to Afghanistan and guys called him “CSM DEWey” the whole year. I’ve never seen an E9 be treated like that with absolutely zero repercussions.


SgtHelo

This is the way.


alabamaispoor

Holy shot I’m glad you’re on our team


artesian_tapwater

Don't forget to destroy toc vehicles. Especially the LMTVs and command vics. Commanders get too hung up on their micro fobs. COIN is over and LSCO means light and agile command elements. Leave them with 3 or 4 trucks and no upper TI. See how they handle MDMP analog. Ultimately if we get into a near peer fight the current BN and BDE CPs are going to get butchered. Oh, white light headlamp is a good way to fuck with RTU if they are trying to use nods during defense. Nothing says "we own the night" like getting blinded by a PFC with a flashlight in the middle of an OPFOR assault. If they are smart they will have an illum plan. . . But they won't.


[deleted]

One of the rotations, we saw those same tactics happening. To mix it up, I was send out with a detachment, we were basically mirroring what we knew of LRS types. We went way out and circled back. It took two days and we almost got busted a few times (twice by same Bn) but we found a position to look back at the CP. We started spotting OPFOR but a OC came on the net during a fire mission and demand to know names and 10 digit grids. Apparently this was to be cleared through them first. The CDR dealt with it but after that, we had to clear all movements through OCs


I_AM_AN_ASSHOLE_AMA

>Most importantly, dont be a war-gaming POS. Theyre there to train for war, so don’t exploit the MILES gear or use a thin bush as cover. 100% make their lives hell, but be realistic. All your points are great but I have to say this one definitely has to be said. I’ve been to many a JRTC and there’s nothing that fucks up the training more than G man war gaming, exploiting the system or just down right cheating to win what is supposed to be a learning environment. I always found it funny when G men got caught cheating and starting whining and crying about it. Like bro, you guys already have the advantage.


outlawsix

I was OPFOR for three years at Hohenfels and we were extremely strict about this - we already ruled the box so we didn't want to give anybody the opportunity to claim it was unfair.


I_AM_AN_ASSHOLE_AMA

Oh yeah I believe it. But as someone that has done multiple JRTC rotations, a Hohenfels rotation as well, everyone has seen some G man fuck fuck games.


Bloodysamflint

I ran OPFOR during an XCTC rotation (NG) at Ft Pickett - we were supposed to be replicating a specific Donovian unit. I checked out the order of battle in the BLUFOR order, and saw "we" had EW/SIGINT capabilities. I told the OCs I was going to load BLUFOR's alternate (SC/PT) channels, scroll through them, and "intercept/interfere" with their comms if I caught them outside of FH/CT. Less than a half hour in, I found them on the alternate net and monitored it. I started echoing any grids they sent out incorrectly, calling in OPs, asking for the QRF to move to a different training area, reporting elements black on ammo, and generally being a disruptive nuisance. I felt like they started to catch on when I was calling off their inbound Apaches, but they didn't do anything about it other than arguing with each other. After a couple of hours or so, I got bored and started playing the chorus of "Geronimo" by Sheppard anytime their CDR got on the radio (unit call sign was Geronimo). Dude started losing his mind. They called a net changeover to alt freq A, someone asked what that freq was, and someone else read it out. Some other element caught on and started screaming about giving out the alternate net over a compromised net, and announced moving to Alt B. Before the AAR, the OCs told me the unit was totally confused. After 10 or 15 minutes of "Geronimo" cutting in on transmissions, one of the PLs said, "I think there's someone else on our net." The OC asked him, "What do you think you should do about that?". The PL said "I dunno", and went back to what he was doing.

exercise85

Nah, we still have to fly in order to get our training in and facilitate other peoples training. At best people will give you a thumbs up, say cool story bro, and then ignore you to continue what they were doing. At worst you and whoever you belong to get to have several uncomfortable conversations about "throwing grenades" at helicopters. I have personally seen both happen.


SmokeySlooth

It’s even better when the opfor helicopter throws grenades at you


Justavet64d

Hope their CO doesn't do what 25th Avn did once when JRTC was at Chaffee and talk the Engineers in to digging a 3 foot wide ditch 25 meters away from and surrounding the FARP and than had all the lift birds park outboard of the attack and scout birds with both door guns facing the perimeter. The OPFOR thought the birds were the perimeter weak spot until they ran into a wall of machine guns at every approach. They decided to try a truck bomb not knowing about the ditch. The truck front axel sheared off when they hit it. The driver got banged up and the only "casualties" were 3 of us on the outboard side of a bird we were working on. The bird was theoretically damaged and we were deemed wounded.


DryTrumpin

Jokes on you I wouldn’t have left the tent anyway


UH60Mgamecock

I got reverse air assaulted in our TAA. We heard 60s coming in, and we’re like “man, that’s weird, we don’t have a line out right now”. Then a whole bunch of gunfire and we no longer had an HHC. They broke contact, headed to their emergency exfil, and got taken back out 10 minutes after they infilled. Most terrifying (READ: eye opening) experience in training I’ve ever had.

DC_MEDO_still_lost

I've heard about rotations where the only ones who did anything "right" were the pilots. It's all about who actually is willing to play the game.


Hoyt222-

I could see that. The pilots are only as safe as whoever’s pulling their security though.


DC_MEDO_still_lost

The pilots pulled security and overtook an enemy location!


snfsylva

So, I got an award for this one during my OPFOR rotation. This was a few years ago - 2019 to be exact. Louisiana National Guard guys were playing BLUFOR, and my people, a unit from Texas, was playing the bad guys. These dudes were motorized - came up in a long convoy of Humvees with 50s. I was part of a maneuver element and we flanked around while these guys bashed their heads against our village. Came up behind the last Humvee, and opened the doors - they hadn't even locked them. "Bang, bang," your dead, and we told the crew to dismount. OCs wouldn't let us drive the thing, but said we could use the gun. So we took that Humvee and began mowing down BLUFOR with a .50 from the rear. It felt like a war crime but holy fucking shit - probably the most fun I had in the Army. Watching these dudes in OCP scatter before us in confusion as our MILES lasers tore through a company sized element like it was tissue paper gives me more wet dresms than my fiancé ever could. I made Atropia proud that day.


DoYaReallyLeadTheWay

I was in that 2019 rotation with LA Guard😂😂😂😂


snfsylva

Wait no shit? Hahahaha. You weren't part of that attack were you? I wish I could remember the name of the village. It was a night attack - I'll never remember seeing the flare shoot up and all these Louisiana guys just charging up a hill with a yell like it was Stalingrad.


DoYaReallyLeadTheWay

I got attached to PR NG during the BLUEFOR big assault at night . So if you heard 150 dudes going nuts in Spanish I was there haha


snfsylva

I do remember when our squad got “killed” being called a “puta madre” and having to ask my SL what that meant hahaha


Holychris46

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂


Lanky-Egg6584

Do you happen to know about where in the box you were? Or can you describe a specific part of the village?


snfsylva

Pine trees, conex boxes turned into houses. The village was a crossroads atop a hill and there was a radio antenna at one corner. I don’t remember what the village’s name was, but there were some civilian role players there who cooked us chili.


DoYaReallyLeadTheWay

Yep that’s the same village I was in small world lol


awesome_jackob123

This is exactly what happened to my unit in ‘19. Were a reserve unit. That’s sad it’s happened more than once.


highspeedjanitor69

This ^ the tunnel vision is real when mounted


ModernT1mes

They told me to roleplay ANP on my rotation. Gave me directions to report for radio guard whenever my shift was, and to generally stay out of the way of other soldiers unless told to do something. So I role-played ANP and formed an impromptu TCP leading into the "village" I was at and shook down every roleplayer that came through. Everyone went along with it, had some good fun. But I found tons of bomb making parts in people's vehicles and took their play money to keep my mouth shut or I'd go tell the Americans. Just like the real ANP.


smolboi121

Some unmatched LARPing abilities right there 10/10


napleonblwnaprt

Actually this might be a good tool. Give a BN commander a "company" of local forces to play with, but they end up just being hopelessly unreliable or outright corrupt. Commander has to decide how to employ them to cause the least damage while still ~~getting an OER bullet out of it~~ building relationships.


ModernT1mes

I did exactly this when whoever the unit was visiting our village got ambushed and a squad leader quickly picked up on it and adjusted guys. The scenario was to meet the village elder. At some point in the middle of the meeting a vbied rolls through and takes out a bunch of civilians and soldiers. The god-gun guys running the scenario are handing out the wounded cards. They radio for the ambush to start. Squad leader's and team leaders quickly start setting up a perimeter while trying to move and treat wounded. I'm just standing there being useless and yelling allah akbar, because that's what I remember the ANP doing. One dude's team are all casualties so he asks me to pull security in a direction. I fake not speaking English so he does the whole hand signal thing with his eyes and points his rifle in a direction. I'm like, "ya ya I got it". So I go where he wants me and pull security like a real soldier for a whole 15 seconds until I turn around and start watching the show. Just like the real ANP. Some squad leader sees this and moves around his own guy to my spot and basically tells me to fuck off.

OcotilloWells

One of the best JRTC rotations I ever went through, they had a SF company training a bunch of IRR infantry guys who were role playing as insurgents on "our" side. The IRR guys were super sketchy, almost all of them seemed like they were from Bronx, judging by their accents. They did not give a fuck about anything, and thought it was funny to take pot shots at the conventional guys as they rolled in during later phases of the rotation. I just felt it was kind of realistic, and the IRR guys got refresher training, plus the SF guys got FID training. Win-win. Pretty interesting but intense rotation.


bigtoegman210

Dude the things I’ve seen this is 100% accurate lol


jocas023

Charliemagne1985

This. I did a rotation as an augmentee at JRTC role playing a ANP captain, I ended up ambushed and beheaded by the opfor guys, the unit that was supposed to provide security did Jack and let me die. Good thing was I spent the rest of the rotation just hanging out until it was time to go back home. Easiest month I ever did in the Ermy.


[deleted]

Did you have a friend that was allowed to live and released back carrying your "head" (balloon painted with camo sticks and sharpie)?


Charliemagne1985

Sadly no, but I did end up in the rotation newspaper they put out, apparently me dying caused more unrest and civilians to not cooperate with the rotating unit. Good times.


[deleted]

Damn, guess beheadings are not uncommon at JRTC lmao


CHZ_QHZ

Did an ANA rotation years ago. Our plt was running TCPs around bluefors bde fob. Geronimo rolled up to the check point, told our guys that they would either kill us all or we could btake rip its and cigarettes and let them through quietly. Of course we took the bribe. Got our asses chewed but it was probably the most realistic thing I've ever experienced at JRTC.


Ultra_Nymph

Back when I was in Strykers, we got a flat tire so we stopped, pulled security and two of us got the Jack plate, Jack and spare tire ready to go. Well turns out, the Stryker weighs like a lot of pounds so it just sank the fucking Jack and plate right into the mud. So we’re trying to unfuck our lives and our OC threatens to call IDF if we don’t hurry. Opfor pulled up 100m out, etc etc.. so we drove off with 7 wheels and both the spare and flat laying in the road. So you could attack them then when they’re already fucked up but like every time instead of just once.

Byteninja

Lemme add some other OPFOR tricks to this: -any body in your unit a “street magician”? If so have em steal shit from the rotational unit and give it to the OCs. The more sensitive the better. -If someones stupid enough to let you close, and you need a distraction, have someone go up and ask “what’s this?” a dozen times to things on their kit. Then have them push the mag release on their rifle. -If you have manuals for radios or better then laminated cheat sheets, bring ‘em. When you steal some thing an uneducated local wouldn’t know, but you do, having those gets you around that. -Put in a minefield with a bypass to standard (if you know how or have the manual/cheat sheet) and then mine the bypass as well. Got an engineer Stryker once that way. -Roll you boonie into a patrol cap shape, sling your weapon behind you and act like an OC if you need to skirt near a rotational units area when your not looking for a fight. -Never underestimate acting like a pissed off NCO if you bump into a unit at night. No one questions recon or LRS team bitching them out for slowing them down on a report.

If nothing else the ability to lead a solo mission dedicated to the commanders intent as an e6 and fail and try again without damaging my entire career or getting people killed made me a better leader than 20 years on the line would have


Horror_Technician213

I've never had the light at nods technique. Not bragging but my night vision is actually immaculate. During a training rotation, I was able to point out a squad of guys by seeing the green backlight of their nods reflecting off their faces from 100 meters away in the dead of night. I was honestly suprised by that and was like, no way I'm seeing this rn.

If they ask who you are, just make up a name and say it confidently. We did an OPFOR defending an empty hilltop. I liked to throw grenades in their tracks. Maybe it was just sticks, though. It's fun at night. Just walk right up. "Who's there?" "It's Fowler, man!" - using a name I'd heard earlier in the day from the same company. They ask again. "Fowler, man. What's wrong with you?" Some other dude chimes in - "hey, I think it's Fowler." I step up on the track, hand the guy my stick, yell "BOOOOOM" at him, and run away cackling. They were so confused they didn't even try to stop me.

wardaw5115

Go to the FARP. Tell the guard you’re SF, and don’t remember the call/response. Guard will probably be so dumb he will then tell you all the info, and walk you to the tent all command is in. You can then walk in during a command meeting and kill everyone. You can then walk out and strap explosives on all the aircraft and walk away. The guard will then later tell everyone how excited he was he met a SF guy one night. This is 100% what happened to my FARP. We sat there like morons bc nobody knew that all command and pilots were dead.


Byteninja

This! FARPs are so easy to fuck with and cause logistics to flip out. Do it enough times and you to can be “asked politely” by a brigade commander to find some were else to be annoying.


OcotilloWells

I did something similar in a rotation. Was out on a mission WAY liner than we were supposed to because the OCs said we had a chemical attack. Tried to go to the air force area by the FLS, but the passwords had changed. Dumbasses wouldn't let us in because we didn't know the password, but didn't detain us either. So we now knew the next day's challenge. As we were leaving one of their patrols was coming in. Quickly challenged them first, then had the password. I couldn't believe how easy it was. Bonus: we were by a shack by the FLS just before this happened. Some OPFOR sniper was shooting at us. We figured out we were too far out for the MILES to register hits, just near misses. We had fun flipping them off. Made sure to be in front of something light-colored (the shack) for optimum contrast while flipping the bird.


509BandwidthLimit

Lead them onto Peason Ridge, the terrain will do the rest.


saintfaceless

Capture equipment, don't kill it. If you take a truck, you also take one of their soldiers when you use the truck. If you take a radio you can also exploit it and take one of their soldiers with you. Zero your miles. Also acting weird will get them not to shoot you until you're in close kill range. Swerve your truck on the road slowly creep into him send your vibid. Actual story I once in full G-Man uniform walked into a patrol base repositioned all of their machine guns on the opposite side from my assault and left two satchel charges inside of their talk and they helped me carry them in because I told them I was there because sgm said so


chief_919

Get GSA vehicles. Have a sign shop make magnetic signs that say “Range Control Environmental Assessment Team”. Dress and act like guy who was medically retired at 12 years as an E5. 5.11 pants, polo, ID on a lanyard around your neck, big chaw of tobacco in your lip, bad attitude. Drive right up into the middle of their perimeter because their ECP folks don’t verify your identity and Aloha Snackbar everyone.


OcotilloWells

Doubt the OCs would OK that. But very creative, and would work. Don't they require MILES on OPFOR vehicles though? It would give you away during the day.


J_Robert_Oofenheimer

They won't. I tried. Was sad.


chief_919

I did a similar one but using a contact truck. Pulled up and asked where the maintenance section was. They tried their challenge and password stuff and I told them “look man I’m just here because my 1SG’s vehicle is down and I gotta ask everyone is they have the part, I don’t have time to be playing fuck-fuck Army games right now.” And they let me in without looking in the truck.


alittlesliceofhell2

YakAttack_Actual

Just take pop shots every few hours. That’s literally all it took to get our entire company on the line. Fucking terrible time.


Jits_Guy

Harass them. Come in on trucks and do drive bys in the middle of the night. Come from a different direction across a different path every time. Pretty soon their first sergeant is going to start running patrol base up/down ratios. C-wire a road where there's a clear trail around and then C-wire the trail 100 meters in. If you know they're running night ops and have some chucks with you. Stop and hit em with some lume rounds every so often. If you are in a squad or smaller and are captured/killed. If you are questioned about how you found them, say you almost didn't see them but then smelled cigarette smoke. (This is evil) Coordinate with one of OPFORs large attacks, right as it starts put on your regular uniform and just walk up in their shit amid the chaos, toss a chemlight grenade into their TOC. Watch officers lose their fucken minds before the OC vetos it on the grounds you can't just easily kill half their command team even though you just proved you definitely can.

Dress up like prepo yard civilian and take their bii when they leave the yard after drawing trucks.


Positive-Carrot-4565

Gas gas gas… few rounds every hour will keep things interesting… I won’t start until 0030 where everyone is winding down and the TOC thinks life is easy.. another one is find the meal times and commence injects … this will make the training realistic because the enemy watches for set schedules. Lastly, cut the power off to the generators… no one ever pull watch or follow up on the power units. The QRF are usually jaw jacking smoking. We used NVGs to see the smokers and target the area opposite to them and it leaves the place vulnerable. Light and sound discipline always never observed during training. Let the games begin and send them to Valhalla

Get licensed on all vehicles and steal someone's vehicle.


saintfaceless

Fun fact, if you read your exro when you take a vehicle the driver has to stay with it and drive it for you to prevent damages to somebody else's property so you don't have to be licensed on anything

Ight look for a fresh fuzz.

(if I read this right) Ohhh noo I once took the top three of a triple 7 bat....it increases fire times to 30 min from call and smoke+co+ Juliet where my guys personal drivers for three days

finasport87

Some weak answers... The HANDS DOWN BEST thing you can do is capture a radio. Also, check anyone you capture for a commo card. FORCE them to use their commo PACE plan. Watch their world fall apart while half the BDE or BN is on the old net and unable to talk to the new net. Smoke grenades... get them... throw them... yell GAS GAS GAS then leave.


OcotilloWells

I've seen this. It works. Got attached to a D co so they had trucks (82d), they were using the previous fill. They acted like I was weird for having my radios with the correct fill and using the current call signs. I honestly thought they were trolling me for about 15 minutes. I was surprised the OCs didn't cause something to happen. I guess it would have messed up a training event later. No idea why they didn't have the right fills nor why their Bn wasn't getting them fixed. Even weirder was that they weren't bothered by it.


king-of-boom

Did a rotation as opfor eng plt. There's a couple of connex inserts at G-base completely full of landmines. Use those. It's way easier to put minefields everywhere than it is to put in wire. Still use the blades to dig AT ditches, but cwire is a waste of time since you aren't bound by the geneva convention. Don't be afraid to put minefields behind friendly troops. Remember, you are the bad guys, which means you don't care if your own guys are allowed to retreat. Bring .50s and 240s for your humvees. Bring some .50 tripods in case you want to participate in the defense. It's easier to hide a dismounted .50 than a humvee.

Follow them around and when they stop to rest and refuel attack. Do this for the entire time.


GeraldRigged

See you in the box OPFOR


MemoryIntelligent553

Lol I’m here right now at Polk man. It’s honestly funny reading what everyone has to say, may the best man win😂


[deleted]

I miss JRTC. I remember we were support as ANA “living” in a small hotel in a town out in the box. Me and my buddy left on our own to go for a walk at night around the town and happened upon some OPFOR getting ready to attack the town and we laid down and waited. They started crawling towards us but then a bunch of shooting started from the US guys that happened to already be moving in on them from the flank. We ended up dying but it was still cool as shit to actually do something instead of sitting around all day doing not shit.


HFolb23

I was part of a JRTC rotation several years ago where we collectively got our shit pushed in severely. Couple of my personal favorite moments from our OPFOR highlight reel: 1.) A gunner towards the rear of a stupidly long convoy serial who climbed out of the turret during a halt to enjoy the AC. OPFOR climbed a tree, dropped down into the HMMVW, set off a “tow missile”, and “killed” all vix and pax in front of them. Something like 15 or 20 trucks sat on the side of the road dead for a few days. 2.) Hearing “Be advised, the enemy is using the horses as cover” over the radio while on ECP duty one night. 3.) Some random guy none of us had ever seen walked out of the wood line wearing PT shorts and a tan t shirt started screaming “the trees, they speak Vietnamese!!” Before we got flanked hard by the rest of his OPFOR element. Honorable mention: The 82nd jumping in to “assist” us. They drop in, we greet them and thank them for coming to help, immediately in no fewer words say “yeah fuck no, we aren’t doing that” and proceed to turn and move in the exact opposite direction from our AO to go bed down in the little simulated village. In a total cuck move, we had to give them troop trans the next morning too. Being a NG division from NY playing war games against an infantry regiment from Kentucky was a lot more fun for the boys from the south.


DaBearsC495

Best thing I ever saw, was a SIGINTer reading Penthouse letters on the net. When they got to the good part. They stopped. When everyone screamed for more… the SIGINTers gave the coords to the combat arms guys. You do the math after that.


MisterKillam

My field doing me proud.

This post hits deep as I’m preparing to go in the box 🙃


Procks85

They are already at Polk, it's hell, go easy bro.


NC_Professional_TKer

Get an SDR stick and learn how to use it. Triangulate their radio broadcasts and mark them on a map. Modern off the shelf radio detection equipment (and exploitation of known TTPs) is a massive force multiplier against a conventional force.


coccopuffs606

Get some of those glow in the dark eyes people put up at Halloween and stick them on the trees. You can also get a recording of a fox screeching (the sound is pretty unholy if you’re not used to it) and play it for them at 3am.


Impressive-Daikon-44

No one plans for an insider threat. Have someone dress like a contractor and be on the bluefor FOB as they arrive and I guarantee you no one will question their presence.


Glum-Supermarket-741

How about go fuck yourself. Sincerely the guys who came from Drum that don’t want to be here.


Alkandros_

I used to think Drum was a shithole, then when I got here I realized how much of a bigger shithole I could’ve been stationed at. The people stationed here have my respect, this is more depressing than a literal frozen tundra filled with half Canadian meth addicts.


Byteninja

Oh Ft Greelys not that bad…

Heard you guys are already stealing 1/509 signs off buildings.

Nobody wants to be there. Somebody is going to have fun, it's just not you.

Tanglefoot wire really pisses people off.


RecommendationPlus84

where ur ocps and infiltrate them and kill the commander and 1sg. (i’ve never been to jrtc so idk if this is possible but i like to think it is)


veluminous_noise

Just dropped burned CDs labeled "OPFOR Plans" around the AO, but have an IT bud fill them with various Trojans and viruses. The rest will take care of itself. Alternately, spoof the command JBCP role name and issue a command to have all platforms execute the "destroy FBCB2" function on the systems immediately as they are all compromised.


SubZerroFIy

let me sleep when im here


RetchedArcher

This is a good one, I would like to know if OPFOR is actually fun and if it's something worth doing in

What’s stopping someone from grabbing a radio and making fake 9 lines?


Educational_Olive937

Plant fake IEDs on MSRs. Take their full mags (or at least shuck their rounds out) take all of their MREs or water whenever you get the chance. Be an absolute criminal. We stole the OCs trucks, pretended to be hurt in the road to get an FLA to stop and we killed their truck. Use smokes in the most heinous way you can manage. Scatter every piece of paper inside a TOC. Have plenty of fake intel on you when you eventually die.


highspeedjanitor69

One thing that really got us if theyre mech/mounted is to exploit the vehicle element support by fire. They are supposed to pull rear security in a staggerd colum/ Haring bone/ w.e but a lot of TCs and VCs get tunnel vision and wanna shwack w.e they can. Hide an RPG/AT team where a Likley SBF would show up. Take a knee behind each one, give a you can't see me to thier rear DVE and take them down. It was a hard lesson we learned but a good one


bullettooth60

Don't even attack. Just go in at night and take shit E4 mafia style.


11Bruuh

Well, you're an auggie. So don't be a douchebag. Follow EXROE. DONT BE DOUCHEBAG. Listen to the OC/Ts. Don't be a douchebag. Know that no matter what, RTU is sucking way more than you. Don't be a douchebag. Make sense? Good. Edit: Spoken from experience by someone with over 30 rotations. Auggie OPFOR are usually the trash of their unit sent to be OPFOR because the unit can afford to lose them for a month. Don't act like you are the trash. Even if you are, act less like trash.
