How does OPFOR contribute to the evolution of tactics for training units?

The contribution of OPFOR to the evolution of tactics for training units is primarily through the provision of insights and lessons learned from simulated engagements. This approach allows training units to confront realistic scenarios that challenge their current tactics, techniques, and procedures. By simulating adversary actions that reflect potential real-world threats, OPFOR helps units identify gaps in their strategies, leading to a more versatile and adaptive training experience.

These insights are vital in forcing trainees to think critically and adapt their responses to dynamic situations. The feedback gained from these engagements informs future training iterations, ensuring that units are better prepared for actual operations. This cycle of continuous improvement is essential for developing effective and innovative tactics.

In contrast, other options, such as canceling outdated training exercises, donating funds, or limiting the scope of tactical training, do not align with the core function of OPFOR in a training environment. Their role is not to restrict or financially support training but to actively enhance the learning experience through realistic and challenging encounters.
