Been in an international exercise with the British acting as opfor. We were a maintenance company in a cache in a wooded area.
The Opfor walked into our perimeter at night, got detected early by our sentries. Everyone got stood to and we manned our trenches in front of our vehicles that were parked camouflaged in the treeline. While completely ignoring the dozens of people firing blanks at them from almost all directions (we didn’t have MILES gear), the Opfor set up a few machineguns in the open right in the middle of the killzone in front of our trenches and dumped a few belts into our control office vehicle and tent. I even personally gathered a few guys, flanked them and challenged them from not even 20 meters away. After a lack of response, we all dumped a magazine into them. They completely ignored us. We just stopped firing because it became obvious it was a waste.
They eventually turned around and left. They then claimed and bragged that their raid was a success and that they had destroyed our HQ.
I left the army one year later. What a fucking joke.

Eh, I recall some guys messing with the MILES on their AT rockets to make it basically a machine gun. Hilarious for everyone who wasn’t an observer.
