joint military exercises
Multinational combat drills
Joint military exercises are coordinated training operations between armed forces of two or more nations.
These exercises build interoperability—the ability of different militaries to work together effectively—while demonstrating alliance strength.
They range from small-scale drills to massive operations involving thousands of troops: The joint military exercises in the South China Sea drew sharp criticism from Beijing.
Such exercises often carry diplomatic significance beyond their training value.
