Which term refers to a potentially hostile force that may be envisaged, not yet engaged?

Adversary

In planning and training, the term used for a potentially hostile force that you may envision but have not yet engaged is adversary. This word captures the idea of a believable, opposing force that could become a real threat, without implying active combat at the moment. An enemy is more about an opposing force already in conflict, while an ally is someone on your side and a civilian is a noncombatant. So the best fit for an imagined, not-yet-engaged hostile force is adversary.
