YouTube link Interesting training aid. Someone once told me- but I can't remember on what authority- that the actors were serving US Army officers. The Bn Commander would have made an excellent baddie in the original Star Trek. |

One of those Soviet officers listening to the briefing is definitely a US actor – he is Johnny Crawford who played Mark the son of Chuck Conner's Rifleman main char in 1960s TV series. |

When I was the S4 of a MI battalion, the OPFOR were attached to us. They had more field duty per year than any other unit in the division. We had a complete collection of all of the Soviet tactics and equipment books. And yes, I have some in my collection after I left. |

I had a bunch of Russkie tactic and equipment books/manuals … Only have a few left. Don't know where some of them went …  |

Glad you like it folks. mghFond- definitely not disagreeing with you as I'm no US TV expert but I wonder if Johnny Crawford might have been a bit old to appear as one of the junior officers in the film- he would have been 40ish at the time it was made.
I do quite like the idea that it might have been members of the Ft Leavenworth amateur dramatic society or similar taking the roles, but completely acknowledge it might have been resting professional actors….. |
