One unit from our Bde was the OPFOR[Russian/WP, Central American Insuregents, etc.] … the other unit from our Bde were US/NATO Forces … I even got to command our Mech Heavy Bde in one exercise at Ft. Bragg, NC. With the 82d & 10th Mtn.
I was a very senior CPT.  The Bde Cmd figured I was capable enough not to  up things too much ! We won !!!! |
