military exercise
Troops rehearse combat
A military exercise is a training operation in which armed forces practice maneuvers, test equipment, or simulate combat scenarios.
Exercises range from small-unit drills to massive multinational operations involving thousands of troops: NATO conducted military exercises near the Russian border.
They serve both practical training purposes and strategic signaling—demonstrating capability to allies and adversaries alike.
