There's no way to know unless you have a pinpoint UIC. You'll report to post in processing and they'll let you know when you get here if you don't have pinpoint orders. Fort Polk does a lot of shuffling still, regardless of orders also. I am the Distro PSG for the OPFOR here at JRTC. Ops Grp as a whole is comprised of many subunits including 3/353, 1/509 (opfor), 5 different TF's, SOT-D and LiveFire. And I'm sure I missed some. If you msg me a UIC, if you gave one, I can get you more info and possibly in contact with your gaining unit to get more info.

If you are going to OPS GRP, most likely it is an OC/T job. However, at JRTC, the OPFOR falls under the OPS GRP(not the case at NTC). You could be going to either or you could even be a scenario planner as well. There are a lot of different jobs to make the rotations work.

I was at JRTC ( Little Rock,AFB ) in 1990. It has moved to Fort Polk. You may be assigned as a OC or you could be assigned as OPFOR. It was split between the two when I was assigned there and I don't know for sure how they do it at Ft Polk. It was a good assignment and a great chance to learn a lot of different things from several different MOS. Good Luck and you will enjoy that assignment.
