Donnervogel: Setting forceSpeed to -1 will make the unit move according to the group speed mode (often specified by the waypoint) again. Setting forceSpeed to 0 will halt the unit ignoring waypoints or orders.

Kronzky: Does not seem to do anything at the current time (V1.08.5163)

Igneous01: If a unit (man) has forceSpeed set to anything under jogging (walking only) the unit will refuse to get into vehicles. He will automatically be unassigned from a vehicle everytime he is ordered to get in (via scripts or direct action)

TMZulu: This command must be executed on the client to which the object/unit is local and will only take effect where the unit is local. If locality changes, the command must be reapplied.

: In the case of infantry units, it is recommended to use getSpeed for better and more accurate results:
_unit forceSpeed (_unit getSpeed "NORMAL"); // force the unit to run
