Abstract:

The Fort Hood Field Unit of the Army Research Institute ARI for the Behavioral and Social Sciences conducts research and provides technical advisory service for a variety of Army organizations. ARI was requested to develop Opposing Force OPFOR training objectives for incorporation into the Army Training and Evaluation Program ARTEP. The present research, the first in a series of studies in response to that need, examines the ways in which the OPFOR concept and ARTEP have been implemented within the present military environment in which they must function.
