TRAINING

The team behind the OPFOR are apolitical, believers in gender and racial inclusion and are strongly against discrimination. While some of our services may theme regional conflict or specific threat groups, we are only interested in the training value this will bring and will only replicate behaviors as far as necessary to achieve the outcomes.  

All staff and participants must be comfortable undertaking any themed activities and are all able to opt out if this becomes confronting. We believe it is important to train to realism, however the wellbeing of those involved will always take precedence.  

We do not tolerate racial or hateful behavior within our teams. 

The OPFOR is a vetted team that must pass background checks, references and be of continued upstanding ethos and values. Due to the potential confronting nature of an OPFOR, only selected individuals are ever provided training and permitted to provide the service to clients. Any staff that display questionable behavior may be removed from the program. 

In addition, all training provided is designed for training only and will not prepare individuals for actual combat or use of firearms. At no time are our role-players ever given access to real firearms and will only operate replica or simulation systems. 

All training and employment is developed with safety in mind. Role-players are given first aid training and skills to support safe practice in both environmental and occupational outputs. 

Due to the potential environmental exposure, staff are given training on survival in hostile climates and treatment of weather-related injuries as well as trauma. 

Other safety measures include, use of hearing protection during loud activities, PPE if projectiles are involved (Simulation or paintball etc).
