Colonel Moore reflects on his team to the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment and his training in the U.S. Army in the 21st century adversaries. During his command, Colonel Moore turned the regiment from the unit focused on providing conventional force-on-force training as a world-class Opposing Force (OPFOR), the organization, which is preparing to deploy to Iraq to fight the rebels. He also transformed the very nature of education in the nation's premier center of training of the army from the standard power on the strength of conventional battle between two well-equipped opponents to more advanced training scenarios that better reflect the changing nature of war, the U.S. Army is experiencing on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. As Colonel Moore left his team, he could not help but wonder if the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment will successfully meet the challenges of combat operations in Iraq. When the army knocked on the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment for combat duty in Iraq, Colonel Moore could not be reflected on the changes he has made in the direction of a potential enemy. Blackhorse can successfully adapt to counter-insurgency in Iraq? Will the National Guard successfully replace vaunted Blackhorse Regiment as OPFOR? OPFOR was successfully preparing units for combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan? Only time will tell.
