The primary purpose of the field manuals in the 100-60 series is to provide the basis for a realistic and versatile OPFOR to meet U.S. military training requirements. They can support training in the field, in classrooms, or in automated simulations. However, users other than trainers also may apply the information in these manuals when they need an unclassified threat force that is not country-specific. ARMOR- AND MECHANIZED-BASED OPFOR MODULE Field Manual 100-60 depicts the forces of a developed country that devotes extensive resources to maintaining a military capability that rivals that of the United States. The name of that country is the State. It can have a strategic capability, with strategic air and air defense forces and strategic missile forces. It probably has a nuclear capability.
