Wow I can't beleive the money the miltary must folk out now days for training! Shit, when I was in it was all imagination.
OPFOR for us was other Marines with their cammie tops turned inside out or maybe a armband if we were that prepared.
We shot each other up all the time.
Once I even wasted a whole friendly platoon by having a M1A2 blast a house they were holding up in.
After I heard on the radio what just happened I told my team shut up and don't tell anyone. The look on my face had to be priceless. Another time my team got in a gun fight with our own STA guys. I realised afterwards they were our guys and kept my mouth shut on that one too. When using sim rounds with the paintball masks we had guys in the same platoons shooting each other. No money= bad training.I wish the Marines would have had a OPFOR like the Army had.
The training in this video is past what I could even imagine. I mean foreign weapons, enemies that don't look like you, guys that look like they have wounds(not just laying there resting), and props they have props!
