field exercise
Mock combat training
A field exercise is a military training operation conducted outdoors under simulated combat conditions, as opposed to classroom instruction or tabletop planning.
Troops practice maneuvers, test equipment, and coordinate units in terrain resembling actual deployment environments: The battalion spent two weeks on field exercises in the desert.
The term extends to any hands-on training conducted in real-world settings rather than controlled environments.
