Indigenous Forces

As noted in previous sections about the SFODA, A-Teams also operate with INDIGENOUS FORCES (IF). These fighters are recruited and trained by A-Teams. A-Teams can train up to a battalion sized IF unit, as a result one must be familiar with IF. The IF are armed with indigenous weapons, such as the AKS-74U, RPK, and RPG-7.
IF are considered friendly forces, therefore knowing the difference between an IF vs. enemy forces is crucial. Additionally, IF may not be equipped with the latest equipment and thus need to work closely with the SFODA to achieve maximum effectiveness. For example, IF do not carry NVG’s, therefore on night maps their vision is limited, and should rely on the SFODA for NV capabilities. Conversely, IF have available to them the RPK, and RPG-7, which in most cases are more powerful than the SF weapons. Teamwork between IF and SFODA is essential.
