army maneuvers
Troops practicing warfare
Army maneuvers are large-scale military training exercises simulating combat conditions.
Troops practice coordinated movements, tactics, and operations across terrain as they would in actual warfare: The division conducted army maneuvers in the desert for three weeks.
The term often appears in news reports about military readiness or as cover for troop buildups near borders.
