Course

Unleashing Realistic Challenges in Training

Discover the TRADOC G2 OPFOR Threat Tactics Course, your gateway to portraying a doctrinal, uncooperative adversary for enhanced training challenges.

The Opposing Force (OPFOR) Threats Tactics Course (TTC) provides foundational instruction on OPFOR concepts and capabilities using functional tactic – a framework for tactical best-practices.
The course leverages computer-based resources, subject matter experts, real-world case studies, and hands-on practical exercises to train and educate students on tactical best practices that provide a realistic, challenging adversary as required* for U.S. Army training events.

THE TTC IS NOT

Intelligence Threat Training
…but discussions include conceptual linkage w/real world threats & events.
IPB Training
…but enhances & nests within existing IPB processes.
Passive, “Receive Only” Training
…students are hands-on with SME coaching to really absorb the concepts.
