The new company is designed to act as an opposing force, or OPFOR, against troops training at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center in Hohenfels, testing the capabilities of U.S. and allied troops by using a combination of infantry tactics with new technology modeled on modern conflict. It is unclear if the unit will remain — or have enough troops to train — after the Defense Department’s drawdown takes effect. The…
