The characters are divided into two observation posts (OP). Each poster features the actor’s name, character name, OP, and role/rank/company. They also feature a distinct filter reminiscent of the 2000s battlefields. OP-1 consists of Adain Bradley (Wrong Turn) as Sgt. Laerrrus of the ANGLICO; Cosmo Jarvis (Shogun) as Elliot, a medic/lead sniper; D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai (Reservation Dogs) as Ray, communicator/JTAC; Joseph Quinn (Gladiator II) as Sam, Leading Petty Officer; Kit Connor (Heartstopper) as Tommy, gunner; Michael Gandolfini (The Many Saints of Newark) as Lt. McDonald, ANGLICO/FSO; Taylor John Smith (Sharp Objects) as Frank, a sniper and Will Poulter (The Bear) as Erik, Officer in Charge.

The cast of Warfare went to a three-week boot camp and filmed the movie in five weeks. “I’ve actually seen it, so I can’t say too much, but it’s quite something that I’m incredibly proud to be a part of,” teased Quinn. Mendoza is an Iraqi War veteran who shared his process of crafting the characters. “I interviewed these [real] guys and talked about, ‘How did you feel? What were you thinking?’ Even some of the regrets that we have from that day,” he told Entertainment Weekly.
