TRADOC G-2 ACE Threats Integration (ACE-TI) produces
the Red Diamond monthly newsletter as one of several
operational environment (OE), threat, and opposing force
(OPFOR) resources for US Army training, professional education,
and leader development. This December issue is a selection of
articles published during 2016 that showcase current, real world
threats and how they can be represented or replicated in

Army learning venues across the range of live, virtual, constructive and gaming
(LVCG) simulations. Articles included in this issue range from real-world threats
(Egypt and ISIL) to doctrinal OPFOR (Modeling Threats), from tactics (Defense of
Kunduz) to equipment (Skylark UAV), and from concept (Sustainable Readiness) to
application (JRTC Rotation 16-09).
