Currently: Mojave Ranger School is developing 2 instructor squads (OpFor and Ranger Troop 4) in the Ft. Fresno area. OpFor and Ranger Troop 4 are the initial Mojave Ranger School Instructors. Mojave Ranger School uses airsoft guns and military simulation as part of the post-apocalyptic immersion.
For safety reasons, and because we’re not a ‘normal’ Milsim operation, students don’t shoot at students at Mojave Ranger School.
OpFor stands for Opposing Forces, and your instructor’s goal is to train you to be a worthy opponent, which makes it more fun for your instructors to hunt you. OpFor team members serve as the raiders, brigands, Brotherhood of Steel and Enclave bad guys that Ranger Basic students defend against.
The goal for OpFor cadre is to catalyze troopers and settlers to learn the skills needed to defend themselves and their settlements in the Mojave, by hunting them for fun and profit.
The Mojave Rangers are the NCR response to the raider threat. Ranger Troop 4 is the Ranger team that hunts raider bosses and the BoS Advisors.
Ranger Troop 4: The Milsim Team
Ranger Troop 4 is a key component of the NCR response to the raider surge in the Mojave. Ranger Company A is developing 1 Ranger Troop at Ft. Edwards as a response force. Ranger Troop 4 is ½ of the Ranger School Instructor Team at Ft. Edwards, with OpFor being the other half.
The milism game at Ft. Edwards is based around 2 groups of paid instructors who battle each other in an ongoing, persistent, immersive campaign for control of the Mojave. The Ranger training operations supports the Ranger Troop 4 operations.
Troop 4 and OpFor also serve as sponsored Milsim teams at airsoft events around southern CA. In addition to recruiting and PR, the Milsim teams give our instructors real-world airsoft battles with other players from around the world. Troop 4 and OpFor are the ‘Tier 1 Operators’ and the commercial Milsim events are ‘combat deployments’ for the teams.
