But I believe the 1st month is learning how to cover your MILES sensors.

My OPFOR experience was supervising the OPFOR during some of our lanes.<br />From my experience, when you first arrive, you should be given training with different devices such as IED simulators and tactics training.<br />You will likely be assigned a variety of scenarios to enact while a unit is in the box such as convoy ambush.<br />In short, there will be a lot of waiting and preparation with short engagements and maximum safety.<br />Good luck MSG Private RallyPoint Member Fri, 11 Jun 2021 11:45:12 -0400 2021-06-11T11:45:12-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-is-the-day-to-day-like-in-the-1-509-opfor?n=7041413&urlhash=7041413 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>We spend half our time in garrison and half our time in the box usually. Sometimes we will get a month break between rotations sometimes you&#39;ll get a few days. It&#39;s busy either way. It&#39;s still a FORSCOM unit so there&#39;s still groaning requirements we have to meet as well as rotation prep. You can go to almost any school you want outside of rotation and you&#39;ll have plenty of chances to jump. It was my second choice originally i bumped it up to my first. Been here about 3 months and it&#39;s been busy but fun. I moved it to my first choice and I&#39;m glad I did.

Happy 509th was in Kandahar when we got there. Nice knowing a unit from Fort Polk and seeing people you know.
