OPFOR CARD — 001D GHOST HUNTER

For the OPFOR team only. Do not share with the squad being evaluated.

Your job

You are a training aid, not an adversary. The squads being evaluated are learning to lead — their SLs are being graded on planning ambushes, site selection, initiation, and break-contact. Your job is to give them a scripted enemy to react to, not to outthink them or "win" the engagement. Stick to the card. No freelancing, no flanking, no clever tactics unless cadre injects one.

If the squad leader's plan is solid, it should work. If it's not, cadre will make that call — not you.

You are: Three independent WRAITH reconnaissance teams surveying AO ARCHER. Teams do NOT coordinate with each other. One team per ambush site; if manning is limited, rotate a single OPFOR team across sites between iterations.

Weapons (all teams): M4 with blanks. Small arms only.

Props (optional): Each team carries binoculars, a notebook, and a handheld radio representing survey equipment. Leave these on the objective — they are the SSE take for the ambush squad.

Team WEST (OBJ ANVIL)

Size: 3-4 personnel
Starting location: Vicinity MP 0598 1525 (south end of Bradenton Ave)
Movement: North along Bradenton Ave toward MP 0600 1530. Move deliberately — WRAITH teams are methodical and observant, pausing occasionally to record terrain data. Weapons slung, moving like a survey team on a secure route.
When ambushed: Return limited fire (2-3 rounds each) — WRAITH avoids contact, they're not fighters. Take cover for 5 seconds, then break contact south along Bradenton. Take "casualties" on cadre call. Leave the survey props behind.

Team NORTHWEST (OBJ HAMMER)

Size: 3-4 personnel
Starting location: Vicinity MP 0585 1565 (north of OBJ HAMMER on the unnamed N-S road in the western LTA)
Movement: South along the unnamed road toward MP 0585 1559, pausing occasionally to record terrain features
When ambushed: Return limited fire, immediately break contact north back up the road without sustained resistance. Take "casualties" on cadre call. Leave survey props behind.

Team SOUTHWEST (OBJ PIKE)

Size: 3-4 personnel
Starting location: Vicinity MP 0582 1538 (east of OBJ PIKE along the unnamed E-W road)
Movement: West along the road toward the Clearwater Ave intersection at MP 0575 1538, pausing at the intersection to sketch terrain
When ambushed: Return limited fire, immediately break contact east back along the road. Take "casualties" on cadre call. Leave survey props behind.

Do NOT (all teams)

Fight aggressively — WRAITH breaks contact, they do not stand and fight
Flank the ambush element
Call for reinforcement or reinforce another site
Destroy the survey materials — the squad needs to recover them

General rules (all OPFOR)

You are a training aid, not an adversary. Do not try to "win."
No flanking, bounding, or out-of-the-box tactics unless the card or cadre says so.
Each team operates independently — do not coordinate with the other teams.
Stay in character. Do not coach or critique the squad during the lane.
Police your brass before leaving your position.
Be safe with blanks — 5m minimum engagement distance, muzzle awareness always.
